Two-storey rear extension in Aldershot
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 Aldershot and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Aldershot and its postcode districts GU11 are part of our Hampshire coverage. In Hampshire we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Aldershot?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Aldershot.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Aldershot like to extend?
Aldershot has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Aldershot
Is the site visit in Aldershot free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.
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 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 you match the brick or stone on my Aldershot house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
