Double Storey Extensions

In terms of getting the most additional space for your home as is possible, a double storey extension is unequivocally the most effective way to do it. It is essentially adding a whole other house to your house, and can easily double the size of your property, in a far more cost effective and customisable way than moving would allow for. 

When it comes to designing your double storey extension, the world is your oyster, so you can put your creative hat on and really let your imagination run wild. Well, you can most of the time. Planning rules will usually require that an extension is sympathetic to the existing house (this is particularly true if you live in a conservation area), so your project will need to complement the design of your home. We can help you with that. Our experienced team know the ins and outs of ensuring that extensions stay on the right side of planning rules and regulations, so we can guide you in the process of designing your extension. 

Double storey extensions are most commonly constructed on the rear of properties. If you live in a terraced or a semi detached home, often this is the only option available to you. If you live in a detached property, you could opt for a side extension, which has the benefit of retaining the majority of your garden space.
