what we do

DRY LINING, PARTITIONS
AND COMMERCIAL DECORATION

Cobin Contractors specialises in three trades for main contractors and developers: metal stud partitions, dry lining, and commercial decoration. We work directly to programme dates set by site management, coordinating with other trades on active construction sites, refurbishment projects and fast-paced commercial fit-outs.
Every package is available on a full supply and installation basis, labour-only against your own supply chain, or full turnkey from first fix through to final finish.

BUILT FOR
LIVE SITES

Our operatives are experienced in working on active construction sites, refurbishment projects, new-build developments and fast-paced commercial fit-outs, including occupied retail and hospitality environments where out-of-hours and phased working is required.
We understand the importance of programme dates, site coordination, quality control and maintaining clear communication with site management throughout every project — attending progress meetings, working to RAMS and site inductions, and reporting progress against the master programme.
Crew sizes are set project by project — a two-person phased snagging visit is resourced the same way as a twenty-strong team on a new-build apartment block, with labour increased at short notice where the programme demands it.

Site Induction & RAMS

COMMON
QUESTIONS

How much does a double storey extension cost in Leeds in 2026?
A typical double storey extension in Leeds can range from around £55,000 to £180,000 depending on size, structure, access, roof design, planning requirements, steelwork and finish level. A medium double storey rear extension often costs between £80,000 and £130,000, while a larger wrap-around double storey extension can cost more. Cobin Contractors provides a fixed written quote after a site survey.
In most cases, yes. Double storey extensions usually require full planning permission because they affect the first floor, roofline, neighbouring properties, overlooking and the external appearance of the home. Cobin Contractors checks your Leeds property during the survey and confirms the correct planning route before work starts.

Most double storey extensions in Leeds take around 12–16 weeks from breaking ground, depending on size, structure, access, weather, roof design and internal specification.

Larger wrap-around double storey extensions or complex structural projects can take longer.

You may need Party Wall notices if the extension involves excavation near a shared boundary, work on a shared wall or structural work close to neighbouring properties.

This is common on semi-detached, terraced and end-terrace homes in Leeds. Cobin Contractors identifies this during the initial survey.

Sometimes, yes. However, a double storey extension causes more disruption than a single storey build because it affects both floors, the roofline, structural openings and internal services.

We explain the likely disruption during the survey so you can plan properly before the build starts.

A well-designed double storey extension can add strong value because it increases both ground-floor living space and first-floor bedroom or bathroom space.

The value depends on your Leeds postcode, property type, added floor area, layout improvement, finish quality and local buyer demand.

Yes. Cobin Contractors handles RSJ installation, goalpost frames, padstones, load-bearing wall removal, structural calculations and Building Control coordination in-house.

You do not need to arrange a separate steel contractor.

Yes. After the free site survey and feasibility review, Cobin Contractors provides a fixed written quote before work begins.

The quote is based on your property, planning route, structural requirements, access, specification and Building Control requirements.
