Two-storey rear extension in Kippax
Thinking about a two-storey rear extension in Kippax? A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
We cover Kippax (LS25 and LS26) as part of our West Yorkshire work. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Kippax best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Kippax?
For Kippax we work from the Yorkshire and the Humber rate: £1,670–£2,510 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²) | £50,000–£75,500 |
| 4 m × 6 m footprint, two floors (48 m²) | £80,500–£120,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Kippax?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Kippax follows the English householder rules.
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 Kippax like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Kippax. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Kippax
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.
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.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
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.
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 you handle building control in Kippax?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
