Double Storey Home Extensions
Learn everything you need to know when looking to buy a double storey extension, from costs to planning considerations.
Where to begin with a Clearview double storey extension…
An increasing number of homeowners in Lancashire and Cheshire are choosing to add double-storey extensions to their existing properties instead of relocating, as it involves less upheaval and expense. Integrating a quality extension into your home can elevate your living experience, and you need a company with the expertise to manage and construct it. That’s where Clearview comes in.
We have expertly managed numerous home extension projects and earned many referrals from satisfied customers. Additionally, we hold all the necessary accreditations
What the cost implications of an extension may be…
Estimating the cost of a double-storey extension is challenging without knowing details about your home, its location, and the specific functional requirements of the structure. The intended use of the extension can significantly impact the overall cost, so please provide us with as much information as possible.
Additional factors that could affect the final price include the potential need to extend your heating system and upgrade existing electrical systems. Clearview will assess your situation and has expert teams to handle these tasks.
Is planning permission going to be necessary to extend…
Yes, double storey extensions do not meet the criteria set for permitted development and therefore full planning permission is required. The Clearview team will manage the application process on your behalf, relieving concerns you may have.
Are building regulations likely to come into play…
Building regulations are separate from planning permission, and a double-storey extension must comply with them regardless of whether it requires planning permission.
They don’t just relate to the construction of the extension but also the following:
- Foundations
- Doors and windows
- Drainage
- Electrics
- External and internal walls
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- The roof
Fire safety needs factoring in too, especially for extensions with two storeys or more.

New Living Ideas
In its current form, your home may lack the space to accommodate e.g., an extra dining area or home office. Extending will see to that and can serve as just about any kind of room.
More Storage
We accumulate lots of belongings the longer we reside in a home, and it may be pushing yours to its limit. An extension will take the pressure off other rooms for housing vital and treasured possessions.
Custom Designed
You’re in control of how the extension is configured and the personal touches it incorporates, inside and out, as Clearview lets its customers tailor their house extensions to their taste.
Value Adding
Assimilating an extension into a property invariably adds immense value and can motivate buyers into paying more to secure it. As a rough estimate, it can boost the sales valuation of homes by around 20%.
Accreditations
Clearview is proud to be one of the few home improvement firms to hold both CHAS and Constructiononline accreditations, typically awarded to major construction firms. These certifications underscore our commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence.
