Two-storey rear extension in Wombourne
For homes in Wombourne, 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.
Wombourne and its postcode districts WV5 are part of our West Midlands coverage. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Wombourne best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Wombourne?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Wombourne.
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. 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 Wombourne like to extend?
Wombourne 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 Wombourne
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 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.
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 you handle building control in Wombourne?
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 Wombourne house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
