Covering Llandrindod Wells
Our coverage around Llandrindod Wells (LD1) also includes Builth Wells, Newtown and Brecon.
Because Powys covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in Powys
Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.
What does a double-storey extension involve?
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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Foundations, steelwork, brick and block walls, roof
- Joining the new first floor to the existing landing

How is a double-storey extension approved in Llandrindod Wells?
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 can affect a double-storey extension?
- 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.

How long does a two-storey extension take?
Around 14 to 24 weeks on site, plus the planning period before that.
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.
Can you visit a house in Llandrindod Wells to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
