Covering Bromsgrove
Bromsgrove sits 12 miles north-east of Worcester, with Redditch 5 miles to the south-east and Droitwich 6 miles to the south-west.
Homes in the West Midlands
The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces in red brick, so matching brick and roof tiles is often the key to an extension that looks original.
What is included in a double-storey extension in Bromsgrove?
A double-storey extension adds new rooms on both the ground and first floor in one build, typically a larger kitchen or living space downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom above. Because the roof and foundations are shared, the cost per square metre is usually lower than a single-storey extension.
- Householder planning application
- Foundations, steelwork, brick and block walls, roof
- Joining the new first floor to the existing landing

How is a double-storey extension approved in Bromsgrove?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
Two-storey rear extensions can sometimes be permitted development in England (no more than 3 m deep, at least 7 m from the rear boundary, roof pitch to match), but most two-storey and all two-storey side extensions need householder planning permission.
What can affect a double-storey extension?
- Neighbours’ light is assessed using the 45-degree guide many councils use.
- The new roof is tied into the old one, so roof tiles and ridge details need to match.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
