Extensions built for Carlton homes
Carlton sits just east of the city and is one of the most popular spots in the Gedling borough for growing families. Much of the local housing stock is made up of 1930s bay fronted semis along roads like Carlton Hill and Standhill Road, along with post war terraces and pockets of newer estate homes towards Carlton Square and Gedling.
These homes often have generous rear gardens but tight side access, which shapes what works best. A single storey rear extension is the most common choice in Carlton for opening up a kitchen and dining space, while double storey extensions suit the larger semis where an extra bedroom and bathroom are needed. We tailor every design to the plot, the neighbours and your budget.
Because we work across Carlton week in, week out, we understand how the local clay soil, older foundations and terraced boundaries affect a build. That local knowledge keeps projects on track and helps us avoid the delays that catch out firms from further afield.

Do you need planning permission?
Many Carlton extensions fall under permitted development, but this is not guaranteed. Points to check locally:
- Semi detached homes – single storey rear extensions up to 3m deep often fall under permitted development.
- Terraced boundaries – a Party Wall agreement is usually needed where you build near a neighbour.
- Conservation and Article 4 – some Carlton streets have added restrictions, so always check first.
- Building control – all extensions need building regulations approval, which we manage for you.

Carlton projects
What Carlton homeowners say
They built our rear kitchen extension off Carlton Hill and the whole job was spot on. The team turned up on time every day, kept the site tidy and the new open plan kitchen has completely changed how we use the house.
We added a double storey extension to our semi on Standhill Road for an extra bedroom and bathroom. They handled all the planning with Gedling council and kept us updated throughout. Really pleased with the finish.
Our wrap around extension near Carlton Square was a big project but they made it feel easy. Clear pricing, no nasty surprises and a lovely bright living space at the end. I would recommend them to anyone in Carlton.
