Covering Denton
We work in Denton (M34) and the places around it, including Hyde, Dukinfield and Droylsden.
Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
What is included in a double-storey extension in Denton?
Two-storey work has to sit comfortably with the house and the neighbours, so most of the design effort goes into the roofline, window positions and how the new first floor connects to the landing. We handle the planning application, the structural design and the building control process, then build, roof and finish both floors.
- Structural engineer’s design and calculations
- Foundations, steelwork, brick and block walls, roof
- Joining the new first floor to the existing landing
How much should I budget for a double-storey extension?
Indicative costs for double-storey extensions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
| Double-storey extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,400 to £2,900 per m² |
| Good specification | £2,900 to £3,400 per m² |
| High specification | £3,400 to £3,850 per m² |
Planning and building rules in Denton
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
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 should Denton homeowners check first?
- Side extensions close to a boundary are often set back or stepped down so they do not create a terraced effect.
- Neighbours’ light is assessed using the 45-degree guide many councils use.
What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
How much does a two-storey extension cost?
Typically about £2,400 to £3,850 per square metre of new floor area including VAT. A 40 m² extension across two floors is often around £100,000 to £150,000 depending on specification.
Will we need to move out?
Most people stay. The noisiest stage is when we break through into the existing first floor, which we plan for a short window.
Who deals with the council for a project in Denton?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
