Two-storey rear extension in Stalybridge
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 Stalybridge and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Stalybridge is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including OL6, SK15 and SK16. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Stalybridge best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Stalybridge?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Stalybridge needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
A two-storey rear extension can be permitted development in England only if it projects no more than 3 metres, stays at least 7 metres from the rear boundary, matches the existing roof pitch and has obscure-glazed upper side windows. In practice most double-storey rear extensions go through a householder planning application.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Stalybridge like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Stalybridge. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Stalybridge
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
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.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Is the site visit in Stalybridge free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
