Seb, Tim & 4litres are smack bang on the money.
Add in the upward force (similar to "lift" of an aeroplane's wings) and cross bracing for the two tiers , , , , it is a very precarious situation.
And also, there are laws. AND a two tiers roof top set-up would draw the Police's attention.
Maybe a mid ground option is a second hand trailer and you only need to add the second tier, yourself or with Anth's mate.
The only other "Cheaper" alternative that I can think of and it would be subject to the Kayak fraternity's opinion, as I am not a Kayaker.
A single Kayak trailer with the larger/wider Kayak at the bottom AND the second Kayak placed on top with no second tier structure BUT with a High Density Foam (or equivalent) spacers that locks the two kayaks together (but spaced apart) and to the trailer.
Each spacer would have to be custom cut for the designated spot on the Kayak. If this is an option maybe four spacers evenly spaced should stabilise the two together and on the trailer. Obviously with good ratchet tie downs.
Here is just an example of a Spacer
