The Power of Double-Storey Extensions
A double-storey extension adds both ground-floor and first-floor space, giving you the greatest increase in usable area for your investment. Many homeowners use this opportunity to add a bedroom and en-suite upstairs, while creating an open-plan kitchen-diner-living space on the ground floor.
The result? A transformed home with significantly greater value, functionality, and appeal to future buyers. Double-storey extensions typically offer some of the best ROI of any home improvement project in Warwickshire.

Planning Permission for Double-Storey Extensions in Warwickshire
Unlike single-storey extensions, most double-storey extensions require formal planning permission from your local authority (Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, Hinckley & Bosworth, or your local planning authority).
This is because they exceed Permitted Development thresholds. However, planning permission is very often granted for well-designed, appropriately sited extensions.
We handle the entire planning process:
- Site surveys and measurements — accurate data for your architect
- Design development — creating a design that fits your site and respects your neighbours
- Planning application — liaising with your local planning authority, responding to queries, and guiding the application through to approval
- Building Regulations — ensuring full compliance with structural, electrical, and safety standards
- Building Control approvals — inspections at key stages (foundations, first fix, completion)
Our FMB and TrustMark credentials mean planning officers know we deliver quality work that meets all regulatory requirements. This often speeds the approval process.
Timescales and Costs for Double-Storey Extensions in Nuneaton & Warwickshire
A typical double-storey extension takes 16 to 24 weeks from start to handover, depending on:
- Planning approval timescale (typically 8-13 weeks)
- Weather and seasonal factors
- Site access and complexity
- Your choice of finishes and specification
Cost Range: Double-storey extensions in Warwickshire typically cost £90,000 to £180,000, depending on size, location, finishes, and site conditions. We provide a comprehensive Quantity Surveyor cost breakdown before work begins, so you understand your exact investment.
Stage Payment Structure: - 20% on contract signing - Staged payments tied to key milestones (excavation, frame completion, roof weathertight, first fix, completion) - Final payment on handover and completion
This approach means you only pay for work as it's completed, with full transparency throughout the project.
Return on Investment: Double-storey extensions typically add 70-90% of their build cost back to your property value, making them one of the best home improvement investments you can make in Warwickshire.
