A double storey extension gives you an extra bedroom and bathroom upstairs, plus more space to live in downstairs, without the cost of moving house.
Adding Real Space With A Double Storey Extension
A double storey extension is one of the most effective ways to add significant space and value to a property, whether that means an extra bedroom and bathroom upstairs alongside a bigger kitchen or living area below. We offer a complete end-to-end service managing every phase from initial design and planning through to final completion. As a family-run business with over 30 years of hands-on experience, we handle all aspects in-house, including structural work, roofing, electrics, plumbing and finishes.
We are based in Newcastle-under-Lyme and work across Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and Cheshire. Every extension is built to the latest building regulation standards, and we take care of the planning application on your behalf, so you know exactly where you stand before any work begins.
How We Manage Your Double Storey Extension
We start with a site visit to understand your home, your plot and what you want the extension to give you. From there we handle the design, structural calculations, the planning application, and building regulations approval, before moving on to the build itself. Structural work, roofing, electrics and plumbing are all managed in-house, so you’re not left coordinating separate tradespeople or waiting on someone else’s schedule.
