HOUSE EXTENSIONS ARNOLD
Extension builders in Arnold
Arnold’s 1930s to 1960s semis are the classic Nottingham extension canvas: solid brick, decent gardens, and layouts that transform with a rear extension or dormer.
Extending a home in Arnold
Arnold and the surrounding Gedling borough suburbs (Woodthorpe, Redhill, Daybrook) are dominated by mid-century semis with kitchens that were never designed for how families live now. A 3 to 4 metre rear extension with the kitchen moved to the garden side is the transformation we see most, followed closely by dormer loft conversions for the third bedroom that never quite fit.
Popular projects here: single storey and kitchen extensions, loft conversions, double storey extensions and garage conversions. Costs run the same as the rest of the city; see the Nottingham cost guide.
Planning in Arnold
Arnold falls under Gedling Borough Council. Most single storey rear extensions qualify as permitted development, and Gedling handles a steady stream of householder applications for double storeys and dormers with good approval rates for well-mannered designs.
Frequently asked questions
What does a rear extension cost in Arnold?
The same as the rest of Nottingham: typically £36,000 to £52,000 for a 20 square metre single storey at a standard spec, including VAT. See the full cost guide for what moves the number.
Can I extend over my garage in Arnold?
Often yes, if the existing foundations can take it, which a structural engineer confirms early. It is one of the cheapest ways to add a bedroom because the footprint already exists.
Which council covers Arnold?
Gedling Borough Council. Householder applications cost £258 with an 8-week decision target.
