Space to grow in the home you love

Ever feel like your home is shrinking? Maybe the kids are getting older and need their own space, or you're tired of tripping over shoes in a cramped hallway. You've probably looked at local house prices in Cheltenham and realised that moving isn't just a hassle—it's incredibly expensive. Between stamp duty, estate agent fees, and solicitors, you could be looking at tens of thousands of pounds before you've even packed a box.That’s where we come in. At DP Carpentry and Building LTD, we help homeowners across Gloucestershire stay in the neighbourhoods they love by creating the extra space they desperately need. Whether it's a sun-drenched kitchen diner or a two-storey addition for extra bedrooms, our home extensions are designed to feel like a natural part of your house, not a clunky afterthought.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Our Home Extensions in Cheltenham & Gloucestershire?

Kitchen diners and light-filled living spaces

Most people we talk to are dreaming of that perfect 'heart of the home' — a big, open-plan space where you can cook, eat, and chat all in one place. A single storey extension is often the best way to make this happen. Imagine opening up your back wall with sleek bifold doors and adding a lantern roof to flood the room with natural light. It completely changes how you live.We specialise in various styles, from side-return extensions that make use of that awkward alleyway, to full wrap-around designs that maximise your footprint. We'll handle the heavy lifting, including the installation of RSJs and structural steels to knock through existing walls safely, ensuring your new open-plan layout is solid and secure.

Carpentry expertise for a superior finish

What sets us apart from many builders in Cheltenham is our deep-rooted background in master carpentry. A lot of firms focus on the bricks and mortar but fall short when it comes to the details you actually see every day. Because we're specialists in both structural work and bespoke carpentry, we pay obsessive attention to the second-fix stage.You won't find wonky skirting boards or poorly hung doors here. We make sure the joinery in your new extension is flawless, from the architraves to the flooring. We can even create bespoke storage solutions or a custom kitchen to fit your new space perfectly. It’s those final flourishes that turn a simple building project into a beautiful home.

Navigating local planning and regulations

Does the thought of planning permission give you a headache? You're not alone. Cheltenham has some beautiful but tricky areas, especially when you’re dealing with Regency townhouses or homes in conservation areas like Montpellier or Leckhampton. We’ve worked in these neighbourhoods for years and understand the local council's expectations.Many projects fall under Permitted Development, meaning you might not need full planning permission at all. We’ll guide you through the Building Regulations process and help manage Party Wall Agreements with your neighbours. We work closely with local building control officers to ensure every stage, from the foundations to the roof, is signed off and compliant.

Full turnkey service from start to finish

There’s nothing worse than a building site that feels like a war zone. We pride ourselves on keeping immaculate sites and sticking to a clear schedule. We offer a turnkey service, which means we manage the entire project for you. No need to chase plumbers or electricians; we bring in our trusted team of professionals to handle everything.First Fix: Groundworks, drainage, brickwork, and structural timbers.Second Fix: Plastering, electrics, plumbing, and our signature high-end carpentry.Project Management: Regular updates and transparent pricing so you always know where you stand.We're not just Gloucestershire builders; we're your partners in transforming your home.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional home extension and building services in Gloucester, Cheltenham & Gloustershire

Do I need planning permission for a home extension in Cheltenham?

+

Not always. Many house extensions fall under ‘Permitted Development’, meaning you can build without full planning permission if the extension stays within certain size limits. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in Cheltenham, the rules are stricter. We can help you check with Cheltenham Borough Council to see what is possible for your specific home.

How much do home extensions cost in Gloucestershire?

+

The cost depends on the size and complexity of the build. A single storey extension is generally more affordable than a two storey extension, but the latter often provides better value per square metre. We provide bespoke extensions, so we’ll give you a detailed quote based on your specific plans, materials, and the structural work required.

How long does it take to build a house extension?

+

A typical single storey extension usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks, while larger two storey extensions or complex bespoke extensions can take longer. We provide a clear timeline before we start so you can plan your life around the building services.

Can you handle the structural work for my extension?

+

Yes. We manage the entire process. This includes the initial groundworks and foundations, the structural work like installing steel beams, and all the building services needed to get the shell ready. Our Gloucestershire builders then take care of the internal fit-out, from plastering to the final carpentry.

Why should I choose local builders in Cheltenham for my project?

+

Using local builders means we have a reputation to protect in the community. We have established relationships with local suppliers and a deep understanding of the ground conditions and architectural styles common in Gloucestershire. It also makes communication much easier, as we are always close by if you have questions during the build.
