Maida Hill, Greater London
Two-storey rear extension in Maida Hill
A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We design, get the approvals for and build two-storey rear extensions in Maida Hill and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Maida Hill is covered from our Greater London round, including NW6, NW8 and W9. In Greater London we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

A two-storey rear extension in Maida Hill is priced at £2,340–£3,510 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. London prices sit at the top of our range because of labour rates, access through the house, parking suspensions and skip licences.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Maida Hill?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Maida Hill.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Maida Hill like to extend?
Much of Maida Hill is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with narrow back additions, which suits side returns, wraparounds and 3 metre rear extensions. Many streets are in conservation areas, gardens are short, and almost everything comes through the house or along a rear alley.

We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Maida Hill
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Does a two-storey rear extension need planning permission?
Almost always. England and Northern Ireland allow 3 metres without an application only if at least 7 metres remains to the rear boundary; Wales and Scotland are similar or stricter.
Is the site visit in Maida Hill free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Maida Hill?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Maida Hill house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
