House Extension Builders in Worcester
Single storey, double storey and rear extensions across Worcester and Worcestershire. Established 1997. Fixed price contracts.
Looking for experienced house extension builders in Worcester? Court Property Developers has been constructing homes and extensions across Worcester and Worcestershire since 1997 — bringing the same standards we apply to our own new build developments to every extension project we take on. Whether you are planning a single storey extension to open up your kitchen, a double storey addition to create new bedrooms, or a rear extension to connect your home to the garden, we deliver quality results at a fixed, agreed price with no unexpected costs.
Single Storey Extensions Worcester
A single storey extension is the most popular way to add significant living space to a Worcester home without the disruption or cost of moving. Used most often to extend a kitchen into a larger kitchen-diner, create a dedicated utility room, add a garden room or home office, or extend a ground floor bathroom, a well-built single storey addition can transform how a house feels to live in.
At Court Property, we handle the entire process — from advising on whether your project falls under Permitted Development rights through to managing structural engineers, building control sign-off and final completion. Our own employed tradespeople carry out the core works, with trusted specialist subcontractors we have used repeatedly over many years.
Double Storey Extensions Worcester
For homeowners who want to maximise the value of their project, a double storey extension in Worcester offers the best return on investment — doubling the floor area added for a proportionally lower cost than two separate builds. The most common use is adding a larger ground floor room with one or two new bedrooms directly above, though we have built double storey additions serving a wide range of purposes.
Double storey extensions may require full planning permission from Worcestershire County Council, and the structural requirements are more complex than a single storey build. Our experience managing planning applications, dealing with structural engineers and meeting building regulations means we take that complexity off your hands entirely.
Rear Extensions and Kitchen Extensions Worcester
Rear extensions are the most common project we carry out for Worcester homeowners — typically extending the back of a house to create a larger, open plan kitchen and dining space that connects properly to the garden. Many rear extensions in Worcester fall within Permitted Development limits, meaning no full planning application is required, which simplifies the process and reduces timescales considerably.
Kitchen extensions in particular can add substantial value to a property and improve day-to-day quality of life significantly. We work with your architect's drawings or can recommend trusted local architects who understand the Worcester area planning environment. Every kitchen extension we build includes full damp proofing, insulated floor, structural steelwork where required, and is completed to building regulation standard throughout.
Why Worcester Homeowners Choose Court Property for Your Extension
Building an extension is one of the most significant investments a homeowner makes — and who you choose to build it matters enormously. Court Property has been operating in Worcester and across Worcestershire since 1997, completing over 50 contract building projects for homeowners, landlords and housing associations alongside our new build development work.
We employ our own core building team rather than relying on subcontracted labour for every project, which means consistent standards, clear accountability, and a team that has worked together across dozens of Worcester and Worcestershire builds. Our fixed price contracts mean the price you agree at the start is the price you pay at the end — no surprise variations, no creeping costs.
Every extension we build is completed to full building regulation standards. We are fully experienced in dealing with planning officers, building control inspectors and structural engineers — removing that complexity from your project entirely.
Side Extensions and Wraparound Extensions
Where a property has a side return — particularly common in semi-detached and terraced houses across Worcester — a side extension or wraparound extension can unlock significant additional floor area that would otherwise remain wasted. Side extensions are particularly effective when combined with a rear extension in an L-shape, often called a wraparound extension, creating a dramatically larger ground floor footprint.
Planning requirements for side extensions vary — properties on corner plots, in conservation areas, or within Article 4 directions may face additional restrictions. We are familiar with Worcester's planning landscape and can advise clearly on what is and isn't achievable before any costs are committed.
FAQs
Q: How much does a house extension cost in Worcester? A: The cost of a house extension in Worcester typically ranges from £1,500 to £2,200 per square metre for a single storey build, depending on specification, ground conditions, and finishes chosen. A double storey extension costs more overall but typically works out at a lower cost per square metre than two separate single storey builds. As a general guide, a well-specified 25m² single storey kitchen extension in Worcester might cost in the region of £45,000–£55,000 fully completed including all building regulation fees, structural work and making good internally.

Q: Do I need planning permission for an extension in Worcester? A: Many single storey extensions in Worcester can be built under Permitted Development rights without a full planning application. For a detached house, a single storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep generally qualifies. For semi-detached and terraced properties, the limit is 3 metres. However, if your property is in a conservation area — and Worcester city centre has several — Permitted Development rights may be more restricted. Side extensions and double storey extensions nearly always require full planning permission. We advise on planning requirements as part of our free initial consultation, and have extensive experience working with Worcester City Council's planning department.
Q: How long does it take to build an extension in Worcester? A: For a typical single storey rear extension in Worcester, from breaking ground to practical completion is usually between 10 and 14 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the build. Double storey extensions generally take between 16 and 24 weeks. Before we start any project, we provide a written programme showing the key stages and expected dates so you know exactly what to expect and when.
Q: What areas around Worcester do you cover for extension work? A: We cover the full Worcester area including the city centre, Barbourne, St Johns, Bransford Road, Henwick, Claines, Fernhill Heath, Droitwich, Pershore, Upton upon Severn, and all surrounding villages within Worcestershire. For extension projects we generally cover a radius of approximately 25 miles from our Callow End base. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call us on 01905 831778 and we will confirm.
