Bungalow conversion specialists

Turn one storey
into two. Turn equity
into freedom.

We take bungalows from single-storey to two, managing every stage from first sketch to final sign-off — so you can remortgage the equity you've created, or sell for a profit large enough to clear your mortgage outright.

The case for converting

One conversion, two ways to benefit

A bungalow conversion adds real, bankable value — what you do with that value afterwards is your choice.

01 Stay & remortgage

Release the equity you've built

A well-executed second storey can significantly increase your property's valuation. Once complete, you remortgage against the new value — releasing cash for whatever comes next, while staying in the home you've improved.

02 Sell & move on

Sell mortgage-free, or close to it

Bungalow-to-two-storey conversions are among the highest-margin projects in residential property. Sell after completion and the uplift can be enough to clear your mortgage entirely and walk away with capital in hand.

How we work

Every stage, handled, in this order

One fee, one point of contact, from the first conversation to the final certificate. We don't hand you off between stages — we run the whole thing.

01

Discovery meeting

We visit your bungalow, assess its structure, roof space and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the conversion — remortgage uplift, resale profit, or extra living space.

02

Architectural design

Our architects produce design concepts that maximise added value and floor area, balanced against your budget, your street, and what planners are realistically likely to approve.

03

Planning application

We prepare and submit the full planning application to your local authority, handling all supporting documents, surveys and correspondence with the planning department.

04

Planning meetings & appeals

If your application requires a committee hearing, we attend and represent the scheme in person. If it's refused, we handle the appeal — no separate agent, no extra fee.

Only where required
05

Construction drawings & quotations

Once consented, we produce detailed construction drawings and obtain competitive, itemised quotations from vetted builders, so you know exactly what the build will cost before it starts.

06

Professional project management

We manage the build on your behalf — coordinating trades, tracking the programme and budget, and resolving issues as they arise — through to a finished second storey.

About Second Storey

Built around one type of project

We don't do loft conversions, extensions, or new-builds. Bungalow-to-two-storey is the whole of what we do, which means we've seen the planning objections, structural quirks and roofline restrictions before.

Bungalow specialists only

Every discovery meeting, design and planning strategy is built specifically around single-storey-to-two-storey conversions — not adapted from general extension work.

Value-led design

Every design decision is weighed against its effect on resale value or mortgage capacity, not just square footage or aesthetics.

One team, start to finish

The people who design your conversion are the same people who manage its planning, its build, and its handover — nothing falls between the cracks.

Find out what your bungalow could be worth as two storeys.

Book a no-obligation discovery meeting and we'll give you a straight view on feasibility, likely value uplift, and cost.
