Double Storey Extensions Hucknall
Add bedrooms, bathrooms and living space to your Hucknall home in one project. A double storey extension gives you room downstairs and upstairs without moving house, keeping you close to the schools, shops and tram links you already know.
We handle everything from the first survey on your street to the final coat of paint, working with the local ground conditions and terraced and semi layouts common across Hucknall.
- Two floors of extra space in one build
- Local team who know Hucknall streets and soils
- Full planning and building control handled
More room to grow, without leaving Hucknall
Hucknall has changed a lot as families have put down roots near Titchfield Park, the Market Place and the tram line into the city. Many of the town’s 1930s semis, post-war terraces and newer estate homes off Annesley Road were not built for the way people live today, with more bedrooms, home offices and larger kitchens all in demand.
A double storey extension solves this in one go. By building two floors together you gain a bigger kitchen, dining or family room on the ground floor and an extra bedroom, en-suite or study above. Because the groundwork, roof and scaffolding are shared across both levels, you get far more space for your money than adding each floor separately.
We survey every Hucknall home in person, checking boundaries, drains and the ground beneath your garden before we design anything. That way the plans we hand you actually fit your plot and your budget.

Local knowledge
We work daily across NG15, from Broomhill and Butlers Hill to the estates around Papplewick Lane, so we understand the mix of house types here.
Benefits for Hucknall homes
- Two floors in one project – Share the foundations, roof and scaffolding to gain kitchen space below and bedrooms above at a lower cost per room.
- Stay in your catchment – Keep your place near local primary schools and the Hucknall tram stop instead of paying to move and buy bigger elsewhere.
- Suits Hucknall house types – We design around the town’s semis and terraces so the new floors match rooflines and sit well next to neighbours.
- Adds real value – A well-built second storey with an extra bedroom and bathroom is one of the strongest ways to lift a Hucknall home’s resale price.
- Less disruption overall – One continuous build means one period of works rather than returning years later for the upstairs.
- Warmer, cheaper to run – Modern insulation and glazing across both floors cut heating bills compared with the original house fabric.
Our Hucknall double storey process
Free site survey
We visit your Hucknall home, measure up, check the ground and talk through what you want from both floors.
Design and drawings
We produce plans that suit your plot and street, balancing your wish list with your budget.
Planning and approvals
We prepare and submit any planning application to Ashfield District Council and handle building control.
Foundations and structure
We lay foundations sized for two storeys, then build the walls and floor structure up to roof level.
Roof and weathertight
We tie in the new roof, fit windows and doors and make the extension watertight before internal work.
First and second fix
Electrics, plumbing, plastering, heating and joinery all go in across both new floors.
Finishing and handover
We decorate, clean up, walk you through the work and hand over certificates and guarantees.

What about permission?
Hucknall sits within Ashfield District Council. Some smaller double storey extensions can fall under permitted development, but most two-storey projects need full planning permission, especially on semis and terraces where the new floors sit close to a boundary.
We check whether your home is in a conservation area or has an Article 4 direction before we design, and we manage the whole application for you.

What Hucknall homeowners say
We needed two more bedrooms for our growing family and did not want to leave Hucknall. The team built a double storey rear extension that matches the house perfectly and kept us in the loop the whole way.
Our 1930s semi off Annesley Road now has a big kitchen downstairs and a master bedroom with en-suite above. Planning went through with no fuss and the finish is spot on.
Tidy, polite and always on time. They handled the party wall side with our neighbour and left the site clean each day. The extra space has transformed how we use the house.
