Two-storey rear extension in Wolverhampton
Two-storey rear extension in Wolverhampton: a larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Wolverhampton is covered from our West Midlands round, including WV2, WV3, WV4 and WV6. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Wolverhampton best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Wolverhampton?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Wolverhampton needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Wolverhampton like to extend?
Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton
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 Wolverhampton?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Wolverhampton?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wolverhampton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
