Two-storey rear extensions in Lincolnshire
A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We design and build rear extensions across Lincolnshire, from Lincoln and Grimsby to Scunthorpe, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
In Lincolnshire we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning. Lincolnshire has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Lincolnshire?
Guide prices for a two-storey rear extension in Lincolnshire start from our East Midlands rate of £1,750–£2,620 per square metre, including VAT. East Midlands prices sit a little below our West Midlands baseline.

Do you need planning permission in Lincolnshire?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
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 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.
Can I add an en-suite upstairs?
Yes. We plan the soil pipe route early so the bathroom sits where drainage works without boxing through the room below.
Do you cover all of Lincolnshire?
We cover 17 towns and districts in Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
