- Why Us
A Stress-Free Process, From Start to Finish
In most cases, double storey extensions may require planning permission, as they often fall outside standard Permitted Development rights. There are specific restrictions related to height, distance from boundaries, and how far the extension projects from the original rear wall of the property. Ensuring compliance with these regulations is essential before starting any construction.
At Two Kings Construction Ltd, we handle the complete planning process for your double storey extension — from detailed architectural drawings to planning applications and approvals. Our goal is to make the process seamless and stress-free, allowing you to focus on your routine while we take care of every detail with precision and minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a double storey extension?
Often yes — double storey extensions frequently fall outside Permitted Development rights due to height, boundary distance and rear wall projection limits. We assess this for your specific property during your free survey and handle the planning application if needed.
How much does a double storey extension cost?
Cost depends on footprint, specification and finishes. Every quote breaks down materials cost, labour cost, and government documentation costs (such as planning application fees and architectural drawings) separately, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
How long does a double storey extension take to build?
A double storey extension typically takes around 12–20 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity, plus any time needed for planning approval beforehand.
Will I need to move out during the build?
