A double-storey extension could be the perfect solution if you need to add significant space to your existing home.
A step up from the popular single-storey extension, double-storey builds provide even more living space and expanded options when remodeling your home.
Double-storey extensions are a versatile and cost-effective way to completely transform your living space without relocating. Although they're most often used as extra accommodation for growing families, home offices, larger bathrooms or kitchen-diner spaces, double-storey extensions add significant value to your home – in many cases, much more than the construction cost. By making the most of your property's existing footprint and expanding upwards rather than outwards, double-storey extensions also help to preserve your garden, allowing increased square footage without compromising outdoor space.
A double-storey extension delivers life-changing practical benefits in the home you love, with positive implications for its resale value should you decide to move in the future. Their flexible design makes them ideal for both traditional and modern properties, with plenty of versatile architectural designs and configurations to enhance the style of your existing home inside and out.
At Eagle Build, we pride ourselves on our customer-centric approach. We take the extra time to ensure every project perfectly suits each client's unique requirements.
Excellent customer service as standard
Any construction or remodelling work to your home is a serious undertaking and represents a significant investment, so we understand the need for dedicated customer service and communication throughout the process. We adopt a customer-focused approach, ensuring personalised service from consultation to completion, and work closely with clients to tailor design and materials to their specific needs and preferences.
A personal service tailored to you
Every home is unique, so all our builds are bespoke and designed specifically to suit each client's needs. Based on your practical needs and functional preferences, we put together a tailored blueprint for you which also takes into account any key factors that are important to you, including design, ethical or sustainability values.
Commitment to quality and competitive pricing
We use only the best materials and our trusted team of skilled tradespeople to guarantee a high standard of work for every project we undertake. Our developments are built to last, and we carefully source the highest-quality products in line with your preferences and budget for a beautiful, durable finish and competitive pricing without compromising on quality. We go a step further than most, bringing extra value for money in the form of professional expert advice and extensive knowledge of brands and suppliers.
Excellent communication throughout your project
Building works are disruptive by nature, so we keep in touch with you throughout the process to update you on our progress and address any questions or concerns as they arise. Our team provides updates and clear communication throughout the project to ensure complete transparency and peace of mind, and we'll check in with you at regular intervals to ensure you're satisfied.
Client testimonials and reviews
During our many years in business, we've established a solid reputation and have a collection of fantastic testimonials from previous clients. We do everything we can to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience for our customers, and we often work with clients multiple times as we become trusted build partners for their friends and family, too.
All our projects follow a number of pre-set steps designed to ensure a seamless process for clients from initial consultation to final handover.
Initial consultation
The first step following initial contact is to arrange a meeting to learn more about your plans and preferences and determine what's possible. We can then put together a plan enabling us to take the first steps towards your home transformation. We offer all clients a free, no-obligation meeting to discuss ideas, budget, and feasibility. This open conversation is an opportunity to give our professional opinion on your ideas and allow you to ask for tailored advice on your project. We can then offer expert guidance on how to move forward based on the information you share with us.
Design and preparation
Planning is crucial in construction, and any practical or aesthetic requirements need to be carefully incorporated into your build from the very beginning. Our team works with trusted architects and structural engineers to ensure that your extension is both functional in performance and aesthetically pleasing. During the design stage, you'll have plenty of opportunities to review and make changes where necessary, and you'll be asked to approve all plans before the finalisation and sign-off stages.
Planning and Compliance
Due to their size and nature, double-storey extensions require planning permission, which can be daunting, especially if you have never encountered the local planning system before. We support clients with obtaining necessary permissions and can assist with planning permission applications, ensuring all designs comply with local legislation and building regulations.
Clear communication at every step of the way
We'll be in constant communication with you during construction and provide regular updates to keep you fully informed. You'll be allocated a project manager who serves as your main point of contact throughout the process, so you'll never be left wondering what's happening or have to deal with unwelcome surprises.
Post-construction support
Unlike some developers, we don't disappear once your build is completed. We offer follow-up checks to ensure your extension meets the highest standards. You can also contact us anytime for after-care advice or to ask maintenance or compliance questions where needed—we're always available on the other end of the phone to help.
How much does a double-storey extension cost?How much your build will cost depends on a number of different factors including the size, location and complexity of the extension. The cost of double-storey extensions tends to vary massively depending on the specifics of the project, and they can come in at anywhere between £30,000 and £100,000.
How long will it take to complete the extension?
Every project is unique, so it's difficult to say exactly how long your extension will take. Double-storey extensions tend to take around 10-14 weeks, but more complex or larger projects may require up to 6 months.
Do I need planning permission for a double-storey extension?
Yes, planning permission will be required for any significant remodelling work to your home, such as a double-storey extension. Sometimes, obtaining planning permission for a double-storey extension can be pretty straightforward. Still, occasionally, there may be factors which can make matters more complex. Our expert teams offer dedicated professional support and advice, so you won't be left to navigate the process alone.
What design options are available?
Double-storey extensions can take many forms, and the configuration, size and positioning of your build will depend on your preferences and the layout of your existing property. You may already know which area of the home you want to develop, but we can also advise as needed based on your intended use and plans for the extension.
