Extra space for Gedling homes, done properly
Gedling sits just to the north east of the city and blends established residential streets with newer developments around the former colliery site. Many homes here are 1930s semis, post-war terraces and inter-war bay-fronted houses, along with a good number of larger detached properties near Mapperley Plains and Gedling village.
That mix means most families face the same choice: move to a bigger house or make the one they love work harder. A well-planned extension almost always adds more usable space for less than the cost and upheaval of moving, and it adds real value to a Gedling property at the same time.
We work on homes across the whole area, from Carlton Hill and Netherfield through to Gedling village, Mapperley and the streets around Arnold Lane. Whatever the age or style of your house, we design the space around how you actually live.

Planning and permitted development
What you need to know locally
Many single-storey extensions in Gedling fall under permitted development, meaning full planning permission is not always needed. Limits apply to how far you can extend, the height and how close you build to boundaries.
Homes in conservation areas or with an Article 4 direction, and any flat, have tighter rules. Whatever your situation, we check it for you and handle any application with Gedling Borough Council so you do not have to.
Not sure if you need permission?
We offer a free check as part of every survey. Book one and we will tell you exactly where you stand before you spend a penny.

What Gedling homeowners say
We had a rear extension on our semi in Gedling village and the whole team were first class. Clear pricing, tidy site and finished on time. The new kitchen has completely changed how we use the house.
They converted our loft into a bedroom and en-suite over in Mapperley Plains. Handled all the planning and building control, and kept us updated the whole way. Would recommend to any Gedling neighbour.
A double storey extension on our home in Netherfield gave us the extra bedroom we needed. Professional from survey to handover and the finish is excellent. Genuinely local builders who care.
