Professional two storey extension services throughout Edinburgh and surrounding areas
Double storey extension costs in Edinburgh typically range from £1,800 to £2,800 per square metre, depending on specification and finishes. A 40m² double storey extension (20m² per floor) would cost between £72,000 and £112,000. Double storey extensions offer better value per square metre than building two separate single storey extensions.
Most double storey extensions in Edinburgh require planning permission, as they typically exceed permitted development limits. Conservation areas, listed buildings, and properties in sensitive locations have additional requirements. We handle all planning applications and have an excellent success rate with Edinburgh Council.
A typical double storey extension takes 16-24 weeks from start to completion, including groundworks, structural construction, roofing, and internal finishing. Timeline depends on extension size, complexity, weather conditions, and planning approval timeframes. We provide detailed project schedules with realistic milestones.
Double storey extensions require deeper foundations (typically 1.2-1.5m), structural steelwork for load-bearing, and proper integration with existing structures. We work with structural engineers to ensure compliance with building regulations and long-term stability. All structural work is certified and guaranteed.
Yes, double storey extensions are ideal for adding bedrooms, bathrooms, and additional living space. Ground floor typically accommodates kitchen, dining, or living areas, while first floor provides bedrooms and ensuites. We design layouts that maximise space efficiency and natural light throughout both floors.
A well-designed double storey extension typically adds 15-20% to property value in Edinburgh, often significantly exceeding construction costs. Adding bedrooms and bathrooms is particularly valuable. Extensions that create functional, light-filled spaces with quality finishes provide the best return on investment.
