Two-storey rear extension in Wallsend
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Wallsend. 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.
Wallsend is covered from our Tyne and Wear round, including NE12, NE27 and NE28. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Wallsend best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Wallsend?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Wallsend is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Wallsend like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Wallsend. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Wallsend
Is the site visit in Wallsend 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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Wallsend?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
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.
Do you handle building control in Wallsend?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
