Working in Mirfield
Postcode districts we cover around Mirfield include WF14. The same team covers Liversedge (2 miles), Heckmondwike (2 miles), Dewsbury (3 miles), Batley (3 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the South Yorkshire border, Darton is about 9 miles away. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.
Planning rules that apply in Mirfield
In England a two-storey rear extension is permitted development only if it projects no more than 3 m from the original rear wall, sits at least 7 m from the rear boundary, matches the roof pitch and uses obscure, non-opening side windows upstairs. Most two-storey extensions therefore go through a householder planning application, which costs £548 from 1 April 2026 and normally takes about 8 weeks.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Included in a typical project
- Insulation, plastering, electrics and plumbing to finish
- Measured survey, design and planning drawings
- Building regulations drawings and structural design
- Breaking through at both levels, stairs and landing changes where needed
- Ground and first floor structure, roof tied into the existing roof
- Foundations sized for two floors
The roof is what makes a two-storey extension look right or wrong. We match the pitch and materials of the main house wherever possible and plan the upstairs layout around the existing landing so the new rooms feel original rather than bolted on.
What happens next
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Double-storey extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Mirfield, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Mirfield?
Yes. We cover Mirfield and the surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a double-storey extension in Mirfield?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Is a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,460 to £2,820 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,640 to £3,200 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
Do I need a Party Wall Agreement?
If you are in England or Wales and the work involves a shared wall or digging foundations close to a neighbour, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notices must be served before work starts. We tell you which notices are needed.
