House Extensions in Upton upon Severn
Our Upton bungalow project replaced an ageing conservatory with a brick extension and reworked the layout to create a proper master bedroom and dressing room. It shows how a modest extension can change how a home works. We design single and two-storey extensions, wraparounds and kitchen-diners, and handle planning with Malvern Hills District Council and Building Regulations for you.
New Builds Near Upton upon Severn
Upton is one of the most frequently flooded towns in England, so flood risk is the first thing we check on any plot near the Severn. Floor levels, drainage and access all need to be designed around it. Further from the river, plots towards Welland and the Malvern Hills bring their own landscape considerations. We work through all of this at feasibility stage before committing to a design.
Home Renovations in Upton upon Severn
Upton’s conservation area takes in the riverside and the historic town centre, around the Pepperpot and the old coaching inns. Hanley Castle, Ripple and Uckinghall are conservation areas too. For listed buildings and conservation areas, we agree the approach with Malvern Hills District Council before work starts, and use materials that suit the building.

FAQ's
Have you worked in Upton upon Severn before?

How does flood risk affect building in Upton?
Upton has a long history of flooding from the Severn, with major floods in 2000 and 2007. On sites near the river, flood risk shapes floor levels, drainage and sometimes whether planning will be granted. We check flood maps and ground levels at the first visit.
Who handles planning in Upton upon Severn?
Upton and the surrounding villages come under Malvern Hills District Council, with policy set by the South Worcestershire Development Plan. We prepare and submit applications and manage Building Regulations alongside.
Can you replace an old conservatory with a proper extension?
Yes, it’s one of the most common jobs we do. A well-insulated extension on a similar footprint gives you a room you can use all year round, rather than one that’s too hot in summer and too cold in winter.
Do you work on period properties in Upton?
Yes. Upton’s historic centre is a conservation area, as are nearby Hanley Castle and Ripple. We agree the approach with the council before work starts on listed buildings or conservation area properties.
Which villages around Upton do you cover?
We cover Upton upon Severn and villages including Hanley Castle, Hanley Swan, Welland, Ripple, Uckinghall, Longdon and Kempsey, along with Malvern and Tewkesbury. We’re based in Gorsley, around 26 minutes away.
Can you build an extension on a property in a flood zone?
Often, yes. In flood zones 2 and 3 a planning application normally needs a flood risk assessment, and the design may need raised floor levels or flood-resilient materials. We check the Environment Agency flood map at the first visit and plan around it.
