Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What do you get with a double-storey extension?
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.
- Structural engineer’s design and calculations
- Windows, insulation, plastering, electrics and plumbing
- Joining the new first floor to the existing landing

How is a double-storey extension approved in Hawarden?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Most two-storey extensions in Wales need householder planning permission from the council.
What should Hawarden homeowners check first?
- The new roof is tied into the old one, so roof tiles and ridge details need to match.
- The first-floor link can mean moving a bathroom or reshaping the landing.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
