Two-storey rear extension in Atherstone
For homes in Atherstone, a two-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Atherstone sits in Warwickshire, with postcode districts including CV9. In Warwickshire 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 Atherstone?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Atherstone 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 Atherstone like to extend?
Atherstone has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

Two-storey rear extension questions in Atherstone
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Atherstone?

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.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Atherstone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Atherstone?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
