Professional Home Extensions
Across Gloucester, Cheltenham & Gloustershire
Transforming properties with high-quality single and two-storey extensions.

When your family outgrows your current house, the traditional route is to pack up and move. However, with rising property prices, stamp duty, and the sheer stress of relocation, choosing to improve rather than move is often the smartest financial decision.A well-designed house extension adds significant value to your property while allowing you to stay in the neighbourhood you love. Whether you envision a side-return extension to maximise a narrow alley or a modern wrap-around addition to create the ultimate heart of the home, we can help. Integrating your new space with bespoke kitchen design and installation is a highly effective way to completely revolutionise your daily living experience.

Understanding the local planning landscape can feel overwhelming, but DP Carpentry and Building LTD is here to guide you. Many rear and side-return extensions fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning you may not require full planning permission. However, building control approval is always essential to guarantee structural safety and thermal efficiency.We have extensive experience working alongside Cheltenham Borough Council and Gloucester City Council. If your home is a Regency townhouse in Montpellier, a period property in Lansdown, or located within The Suffolks conservation area, we know how to secure the right approvals. We can also assist with navigating Party Wall Agreements if you live in a semi-detached or terraced home, ensuring all structural work is safe, compliant, and sympathetic to the original architecture.

Every home is unique, and we tailor our building services to match your specific requirements. We frequently build single-storey extensions featuring large bifold doors and stunning lantern roofs, flooding your new kitchen or dining area with natural light.If you need to add extra bedrooms or a home office, a two-storey extension provides the maximum return on your investment. We proudly offer these bespoke extensions across our local service areas, including Charlton Kings, Leckhampton, Prestbury, Bishops Cleeve, Winchcombe, Tewkesbury, and Stroud. For homeowners looking to expand upwards rather than outwards, we also specialise in expertly crafted loft conversions.
