- Why Us
A Stress-Free Process, From Start to Finish
In most cases, single storey extensions can be built under Permitted Development rights, but certain restrictions apply. The extension must not exceed the maximum height limits, and it should not extend beyond the rear wall or side boundaries of the original house beyond the allowed distance.
At Two Kings Construction Ltd, we manage the entire planning process for you — from preparing technical drawings to submitting planning applications. Our aim is to make the experience completely hassle-free, allowing you to focus on your day-to-day life while we handle all the approvals and construction details with minimal disruption.
