Twice the space, built to suit your Stapleford home
A double storey extension is one of the smartest ways to grow a Stapleford home without moving. Many houses around Stapleford, from the older terraces near the town centre to the semis on Toton Lane and Derby Road, sit on plots that suit building up as well as out. You gain a larger kitchen or living room on the ground floor and an extra bedroom, en-suite or study above, all under one roof and one build cost.
Because a double storey uses the same foundations and roof works as a single storey, you get far more floor area for the money. That matters in Stapleford, where family homes are in demand and the extra bedroom can make a real difference to how the house works and what it is worth.
We survey your property, check the ground and the boundary line with neighbours, then design an extension that keeps the light, the garden and the character of your street. Every plan is drawn to meet Broxtowe Borough Council requirements before a single brick is laid.
Why build up in Stapleford?
Land is limited and homes are close together, so going to two storeys often gives better value than a wide single storey build.
Local knowledge
We know the ground conditions, brick types and planning habits around Stapleford and the wider Broxtowe area.
Why Stapleford homeowners choose a double storey extension
- More space per pound – Sharing one set of foundations and roof works across two floors gives the best cost per square metre of any extension type.
- Extra bedrooms – Turn a three bed Stapleford semi into a four or five bed family home, ideal for growing families or home working.
- Bigger ground floor – Open up the kitchen and dining area below while adding sleeping space above.
- Strong resale value – Well built extra bedrooms are highly sought after by buyers across the NG9 area.
- Keeps your garden – Building over an existing footprint uses less ground than a large single storey extension.
- Matched to your home – We source brick and tile to blend with your existing Stapleford elevation.

Planning for a double storey in Stapleford
Double storey extensions in Stapleford usually need full planning permission rather than permitted development, especially on semis and terraces where the extension is close to a boundary. Broxtowe Borough Council looks closely at the effect on neighbours, light and the look of the street.
Key points we check for every Stapleford project:
- Boundary distance – A first floor close to a neighbour can raise overlooking and light concerns.
- Party Wall Act – Shared walls on Stapleford semis and terraces often need a party wall agreement.
- Roof and height – The new roof should not sit higher than the existing ridge.
- Conservation – Some areas near the town centre have extra design controls.
We manage the full application and have a 100% planning success rate across our local projects.

What Stapleford homeowners say
Real reviews from double storey projects in and around Stapleford.
We added a double storey to the back of our Stapleford semi and gained a huge kitchen plus a fourth bedroom. The team handled the planning with Broxtowe and kept everything tidy throughout.
The brick match on our extension is spot on, you cannot tell where the old house ends. Two extra rooms have completely changed how we use the place. Highly recommend for anyone in Stapleford.
Clear quote, no surprises and finished on time. They sorted the party wall agreement with our neighbours and the new upstairs bathroom is lovely. Great local firm.
