Our Home Extension Services in Nottingham

Every home and family is different, which is why we tailor each extension to suit your specific needs. We work across Nottingham offering both single and double-storey extensions designed to complement your existing property.

Single-Storey House Extensions

Single-Storey Home Extensions

Single-storey extensions are a popular way to make your home in Nottingham bigger. Single-storey extensions are great for making a kitchen and dining room that is all one space. You can also use single-storey extensions to add a living room or to add a utility room and a bathroom, on the ground floor.

These extensions are really good because they can be designed in different ways. You can go for a brick structure that looks like the rest of your house or you can choose a modern design, with big glass doors and windows that let in a lot of natural light. The extensions can have pitched or flat roofs it just depends on what you like and what you are allowed to do.

The benefits are immediate and practical. You gain valuable ground floor space without losing garden area unnecessarily, and the work typically causes less disruption than adding a second storey. 

Double Storey Home Extensions

For families needing significantly more space, double-storey home extensions provide exceptional value. By building upwards as well as outwards, you maximise the additional floor area without extending too far into your garden.

These extensions are particularly popular with growing families in areas like West Bridgford and Beeston, where homeowners want extra bedrooms and bathrooms whilst maintaining outdoor space. A well-designed double-storey extension can add two or three new rooms, substantially increasing both living space and property value.

Structural considerations are more complex with double-storey builds. Foundations must support the additional weight, and the extension needs to tie into the existing roof structure seamlessly. Our local extension specialists have the expertise to handle these technical challenges whilst ensuring the finished result looks like a natural part of your home rather than an obvious addition.

Double-Storey Extensions
Loft Conversions

Loft and Roof Extensions

If your property has unused roof space, a loft or roof extension is a practical way to transform it into something functional.

Our team can convert your loft into an additional bedroom, study, or playroom while adding proper insulation, flooring, and windows to create a comfortable living space.

Loft extensions are especially useful in Nottingham homes where garden or ground-floor space may be limited, offering a smart way to maximise your property’s potential without altering its footprint.

Garage Conversions

Our garage conversions transform wasted storage space into valuable living areas. In 4-8 weeks, we’ll convert your garage into a comfortable home office, guest bedroom, playroom, or gym fully insulated, properly heated, and finished to match your home perfectly.

We handle everything: removing garage doors, installing windows for natural light, insulating walls and floors to proper standards, connecting heating and electrics, plastering and decorating, and obtaining building regulations certification. The result looks and feels like it was always meant to be living space, not a converted garage.

Most garage conversions qualify as permitted development, avoiding planning delays. We’ll assess your specific property during our free consultation and confirm exactly what’s possible. Book your consultation today we’ll measure up, discuss your requirements, and provide an accurate fixed-price quote within 48 hours.

Garage Conversions
Basement Conversions

Basement Conversions

Basements are often overlooked, but with the right expertise they can be transformed into highly functional living spaces. A basement conversion is ideal for homeowners who want to create a home cinema, games room, office, or additional bedroom.

At Buon Construction, we handle all aspects of waterproofing, ventilation, and structural work to ensure your basement is safe, dry, and comfortable.

This type of extension makes excellent use of otherwise unused space and can significantly increase the overall size of your home.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations

Understanding the planning process is crucial when considering a home extension. The requirements vary depending on your property type, location, and the size of the proposed extension.

Many extensions fall under permitted development rights, which means they don’t require planning permission. However, there are strict criteria around dimensions, height, proximity to boundaries, and the percentage of your plot that’s already been developed. If your property is in a conservation area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or is a listed building, different rules apply.

We have extensive experience working with Nottingham City Council’s planning department. When planning permission is required, we can prepare and submit detailed applications on your behalf, including architectural drawings, elevation plans, and supporting documents. Our knowledge of what the council looks for increases the likelihood of first-time approval.

FAQs

What is the average cost of a house extension in the UK?

Across the UK, house extensions typically cost between £1,200 and £2,500 per square metre, with regional variations based on location and labour costs. Most homeowners spend £30,000 to £60,000 on single-storey extensions and £50,000 to £100,000+ on double-storey projects. Nottingham prices are generally more competitive than London and the South East whilst maintaining high-quality standards.

What is the 50% rule for house extension?

The 50% rule states that extensions cannot exceed 50% of the original house volume for detached properties (10% for terraced/semi-detached). However, current permitted development rights have relaxed this—single-storey rear extensions can now extend up to 6 metres (detached) or 3 metres (semi-detached/terraced) without planning permission. Previous extensions count towards these limits, affecting what you can add.

Is 30k enough for an extension?

Yes, £30,000 can cover a modest single-storey extension of 15 to 20 square metres in Nottingham with mid-range specifications. This budget suits small kitchen extensions, downstairs bathrooms, or compact garden rooms, though you'll need standard rather than premium finishes. For larger or double-storey extensions, you'd need a higher budget.

How long does a home extension take to build?

Single-storey extensions typically take 3 to 4 months to complete, whilst double-storey extensions require 4 to 6 months from start to finish. Add 8 to 12 weeks if planning permission is needed, plus 4 to 6 weeks for design and structural preparations. Weather conditions can affect timescales, particularly during foundation and roofing work.

Will I need to move out during the work?

Most homeowners remain in their property during extension work, as we create sealed barriers between construction and living areas. Single-storey extensions cause minimal disruption, allowing you to use most of your home throughout the project. Some families stay elsewhere for a few days during particularly disruptive phases like wall removal or roof work, but this isn't usually necessary.

Can a home extension add value to my property?

A well-designed extension typically adds more value than it costs, particularly when adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or modern kitchen-diners. Extensions in desirable Nottingham areas like West Bridgford or Beeston can significantly increase property appeal and market value. Beyond financial returns, extensions improve your quality of life by providing needed space without the stress and expense of moving.
