Home Extensions FAQs
Everything you need to know about extending your home in Greater Manchester
How much does a home extension cost in Greater Manchester?
The cost of a home extension depends on:
Size and type of extension
Ground conditions and foundations
Structural complexity
Internal finishes
We assess each project individually and provide a clear scope of works so expectations and budgets are aligned from the start.
How long does a home extension usually take?
Most home extensions take several weeks to a few months, depending on:
  • Size of the extension
  • Structural works required
  • Weather conditions
  • Internal fit-out
We provide realistic timelines, not optimistic estimates.
Do you handle foundations and structural work?
Yes. Our home extension projects include:
1
Foundations and groundworks
2
Load-bearing structural alterations
3
Brickwork and blockwork
Structural integrity is a core focus of our work.
Do you offer design or architectural services?
No. We do not provide architectural or planning services directly.
However, we are happy to:
  • Work from approved drawings
  • Coordinate with your architect or structural engineer
  • Advise on buildability and sequencing
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?
Planning requirements vary depending on:
  • Size and position of the extension
  • Property type
  • Local council regulations
We can offer general guidance, but planning approval is the homeowner's responsibility.
Can you carry out internal knock-throughs and open-plan layouts?
Yes, where structurally feasible. We regularly carry out:
Load-bearing wall removals
Open-plan kitchen and living spaces
Structural openings with steel installation
All structural works are planned and executed carefully.
Do you take on small extension projects?
We focus on properly scoped residential extensions. Very small or poorly defined projects may not be suitable for our team.
This allows us to maintain quality and consistency.

Loft Conversions
We do not carry out loft conversions into living spaces.
We only offer loft storage and access works, which are listed separately on our website.
Do you manage the entire build process?
Yes. We coordinate the construction process, trades, and sequencing of works to ensure the extension progresses smoothly.
Are your home extensions guaranteed?
Our work is carried out to a high standard and any guarantees are discussed clearly as part of the project agreement.
We focus on delivering extensions that stand the test of time.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Walkden and work across Greater Manchester & Warrington.
