House Extensions Gloucester Property extensions, renovations and new builds from one firm

Ace Group does. We build single-storey, side, wraparound and two-storey house extensions across Gloucester, from Quedgeley and Kingsway to Longlevens, Hucclecote and Churchdown, and we have every trade the job needs. Call 07932 837796 or send the enquiry form to tell us about your house.

Not always. Many extensions to houses fall under permitted development, which sets limits on size, height and position: for example, a single-storey rear extension can usually come out up to 3 metres from the original back wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 metres on a detached house. Flats, listed buildings and homes in conservation areas are treated differently. Gloucester City Council’s planning team can confirm what applies to your address.

It depends on the size, the number of storeys, the ground and drains, how much steelwork is needed to open up the house, and above all the finish inside: a kitchen or bathroom can cost as much as the walls around it. We do not publish a price list because no two houses are alike. Call 07932 837796 or send the form and we will arrange to look at the job and give you a quote.

As a rough guide, a single-storey extension takes around three months on site and a two-storey one longer. Weather, how quickly the drawings and approvals are settled, and the lead time on windows, steel and kitchens all make a difference. We will give you a programme for your own job when we quote.

Yes, every one. Building regulations cover the foundations, the structure, insulation, fire safety, drainage and electrics, and a building control inspector visits at set stages. It is separate from planning permission, and you need the completion certificate at the end.

Usually, yes. Most of the early work happens outside, behind the existing back wall. The disruptive part is when the wall is opened up and the kitchen comes out, and we plan that with you so you are without a kitchen for as short a time as possible.

Single-storey rear extensions, side extensions, wraparound extensions and two-storey extensions, along with the roofing, kitchens, bathrooms and finishing that go with them. If you are not sure which suits your house, tell us what you want the space for and we will talk it through.

Extra floor space generally adds value, and a well-built extension makes a house easier to sell. How much depends on your street and what the space is used for, so it is worth asking a local estate agent before you settle on a design.

Yes. Ace Group has groundworks, brickwork, scaffolding, roofing, dry-lining, plastering, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors and landscaping available, so you do not have to find and organise each trade yourself.
