Who It's For

Who Can Benefit from a Double Storey Extension

Growing Families

A double storey extension in Bath is perfect for families outgrowing their current space yet hesitant to move. This option adds significant usable space on both levels, creating a spacious kitchen or living area below and an additional bedroom or bathroom above. Our approach to every double storey extension ensures we match brickwork, roofing, and window details precisely so that it feels like a natural extension of your home.

Property Investors

For landlords and property investors, a double storey extension in Bath offers an effective method to increase rental income and asset value. By adding substantial space without relocating, property owners reap significant rewards in profitability. With our 20 years of experience, we craft double storey extensions that meet the high expectations of discerning tenants and future buyers.

Homeowners Seeking Space

Homeowners wishing to create a dedicated office, guest suite, or a more spacious living environment find a double storey extension to be the best route forward. This approach transforms your property on a greater scale than a single-level addition ever could. Coordinating all components from groundwork to finishing touches, we manage the project seamlessly, eliminating unnecessary complexity.

Preparing Your Grounds Before Construction Begins

Clearing Access Routes Outside

Heavy plant machinery needs unhindered passage across your driveway right to the garden boundary. When starting a double storey extension in Bath, we often watch drivers manoeuvre wheelbarrows past narrow side gates where stone boundary walls can easily get clipped. You should prune low tree branches, relocate garden furniture, and lift decorative patio slabs beforehand. Removing fragile perimeter fencing saves trouble. If your boundary adjoins a neighbour who parks on the access lane, agree on clear daytime spaces before trucks bring in deep trench gravel.

Protecting Interior Living Zones

Dust migrates inward constantly. Brick dust finds tiny gaps around floorboards, internal fire doors, and kitchen extractor vents once exterior walls come down. Tape heavy plastic sheets across doorways leading into your existing hallways. Remove wall art from shared partition walls upstairs, because heavy hammer drills knock pictures right off hanging nails. Shifting family belongings into a dry spare room keeps soft furnishings clean. A temporary stud partition built early isolates the cold outdoor air and keeps your central heating working normally while the double storey extension takes shape outside.

Real Solutions We Provide to Clients

Managing Structural Demands

Building a double storey extension involves considerable structural demands that clients might overlook early on. Foundation strengthening, precise RSJ installation, and integrating new masonry with the existing structure require thorough expertise and hands-on skill. We address these needs from the outset, so every structural choice contributes to both accuracy and long-term stability. A double storey extension built to this standard not only adds space - it becomes a lasting part of your home.

Order Without Overwhelm

Clients often find managing various trades challenging in large projects, where delays in one area can affect others. Constructing a double storey extension encompasses groundwork, structural framing, roof work, plumbing, electrical, heating, and finishing, each demanding careful sequencing. We serve as the single point of contact, overseeing every step and trade to relieve you of the hassle of chasing updates or resolving contractor conflicts. A well-handled double storey extension yields a timely completion built to specifications and finished to the quality you deserve.

Seasonal Weather and Site Safety

Working Safely Through Winter

Rain changes the ground fast. During wet weeks, open foundation trenches fill with muddy surface water that must be pumped away before pouring concrete. Executing a double storey extension in Bath through freezing winter spells requires covering fresh blockwork with insulated thermal tarpaulins. Mortar freezes if left unprotected overnight. Mud on external scaffolding planks creates slip hazards, so site walkways need timber duckboards and regular scraping to keep bricklayers safe on high lifts.

Managing Summer Heat Demands

High summer brings dry air. While sunshine speeds up roofing work, scorching days dry out wet render mixes and cement mortar too quickly, causing surface cracks before the bond fully cures. We mist freshly laid masonry with garden hoses throughout the afternoon to slow hydration. Upper timber roof joists expand slightly under midday heat, requiring careful dry storage under breathable sheeting on the front lawn so warped structural beams do not derail the second floor layout.

Essential Site Realities and Maintenance

Checking Existing Pipe Networks

Hidden drains cause delays. Digging footings for a double storey extension in Bath often exposes old clay drainage channels or unmapped soakaways lurking beneath garden flowerbeds. Groundworkers must hand-dig around live plastic water mains to avoid sudden bursts. When underground runs conflict with deep concrete pads, moving soil stacks or adding lintels over existing sewer pipes prevents serious plumbing blockages later on. A cracked junction box under gravel reveals decades of hidden root ingress.

Matching Roof Drainage Systems

Rainwater volumes double instantly. Adding a second level roof structure sends huge amounts of surface run-off towards old cast-iron downpipes that cannot cope during downpours. Connecting new plastic guttering to inadequate yard gullies floods the foundation perimeter. Upgrading underground pipe connections directs stormwater into proper gravel soakaways, preventing damp patches from staining external brickwork near garden paths.

Routine Upkeep After Handover

Maintenance protects your home. Settling cracks naturally show up in hairline plaster joints around new upstairs door frames after the first heating cycle. Clearing leaf litter from high valley gutters twice a year stops water backing up under roof tiles into roof insulation. Check exterior silicone seals around upstairs windows annually, because harsh wind dries out sealant bead lines and invites water ingress behind the masonry.
