Local Builders Who Know Arnold
Arnold is one of the larger suburbs to the north-east of the city, with a mix of housing that gives us plenty to work with. You will find rows of 1930s bay-fronted semis around Front Street and Nottingham Road, larger inter-war and post-war detached homes towards Redhill and Killisick, and pockets of newer estate housing near Gedling and Woodthorpe.
That variety matters when you plan an extension. A 1930s semi off Mansfield Road often has a long rear garden that suits a single-storey kitchen-diner, while the wider plots near Killisick can carry a double-storey or wrap-around design without crowding the neighbours. We survey each Arnold property individually rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package.
Because Arnold falls under Gedling Borough Council for planning, we handle the whole application on your behalf, from measured drawings to building control sign-off, so you are never left chasing paperwork.

Do You Need Planning Permission?
Many Arnold extensions can be built under permitted development, which means no full planning application is needed. Larger projects, corner plots or homes near conservation areas may need consent from Gedling Borough Council. We assess this for you during the survey and take on the whole process.

- Rear (semi) – up to 3m deep is often permitted development.
- Rear (detached) – up to 4m deep may be allowed.

What Arnold Homeowners Say
We had a rear extension built on our 1930s semi near Front Street and could not be happier. The team handled the Gedling planning side and kept the site spotless throughout. Our kitchen-diner is now the heart of the house.
Our double-storey extension in Killisick added a fourth bedroom and a bigger lounge. The fixed quote never changed and they finished on time. Genuinely local builders who know Arnold well.
A loft conversion in Woodthorpe gave us a proper home office with an en-suite. Clear advice from the first survey to handover, and the warranty gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone in Arnold.
