Two-storey rear extension in Batley
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 Batley and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Batley and its postcode districts WF12, WF13 and WF17 are part of our West Yorkshire coverage. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Batley best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Batley?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Batley needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Batley like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Batley. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

Two-storey rear extension questions in Batley
What postcode areas do you cover around Batley?

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 you match the brick or stone on my Batley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Batley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
