Two-storey rear extension in Tipton
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 Tipton and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Tipton and its postcode districts B69, B70 and DY4 are part of our West Midlands coverage. In the West Midlands 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 Tipton?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Tipton follows the English householder rules.
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 Tipton like to extend?
Tipton has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Tipton
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Tipton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Tipton?
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.
