    Talk to a local builder, they should be able to give you a rough estimate.

    Also, you will likely need planning permission to make those changes, so may be worth looking into that too - some areas are quite sensitive about "increased bulk" which adding the extra storey will do.
  • Tried but have had no answers back from any.
    I am also trying architects as well as it’s at the back I’m not sure if it falls under permitted or not as it is changing the wall
