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.

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.
