Covering Pontypridd
We work in Pontypridd (CF37) and the places around it, including Tonypandy, Caerphilly and Rhondda.
Homes in Mid Glamorgan
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 do you get with a double-storey extension?
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
- Windows, insulation, plastering, electrics and plumbing

Do you need permission for a double-storey extension in Pontypridd?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
Most two-storey extensions in Wales need householder planning permission from the council. We prepare and submit the application and deal with any questions from the planning officer.
What should Pontypridd homeowners check first?
- Neighbours’ light is assessed using the 45-degree guide many councils use.
- The first-floor link can mean moving a bathroom or reshaping the landing.
How does the project run?
- 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.
Questions about a double-storey extension in Pontypridd
Is a two-storey extension better value than a single-storey one?
Per square metre, usually yes, because the foundations and roof serve two floors of space.
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 Pontypridd 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.
