Two-storey rear extension in Skegness
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Skegness. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Skegness is covered from our Lincolnshire round, including PE25. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Skegness best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Skegness?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Skegness is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Skegness like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Skegness. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Skegness
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Skegness?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can it be built on a terraced house?
Sometimes, but the upper floor is harder to get through planning on a terrace because of the effect on neighbours. A single-storey extension with a loft conversion is often an easier route.
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.
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Skegness?
As a guide, £1,750–£2,620 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £52,500–£78,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
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.
