Two-storey rear extension in Wednesfield
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Wednesfield. 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.
We cover Wednesfield (WV10, WV11 and WV14) as part of our West Midlands work. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Wednesfield best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Wednesfield?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Wednesfield 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. 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 Wednesfield like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Wednesfield. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Wednesfield
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Wednesfield?
As a guide, £1,800–£2,700 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £54,000–£81,000 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.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
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.
Do you handle building control in Wednesfield?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wednesfield house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
