House Extensions in Bilsborrow

A house extension in Bilsborrow gives you the extra room a growing family needs without leaving a village you already love. We build single and double storey extensions that sit comfortably against older brickwork or newer estate homes, matching materials so the join looks natural. From first sketch to final coat, we manage foundations, walls, and roofing, keeping your home liveable and your garden respected throughout the build.

Building work in Bilsborrow

Bilsborrow sits in open countryside near the River Brock, with a mix of older brick and stone cottages, farmhouses, and more recent family homes strung along the main road and lanes. Many properties are detached or semi rural, so building work often means respecting existing character while improving comfort. We handle everything from extending tired kitchens to reworking outbuildings, always mindful of the rural setting and the way these homes weather Lancashire winters.

Common questions

House Extensions in Bilsborrow, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Bilsborrow?

Many single storey extensions in Bilsborrow fall under permitted development, while larger, two storey or front facing work often needs a planning application. Almost all extensions need building regulations approval. Broughton Building Company can review your plans and advise what is likely to be needed before you commit.

How long does a house extension in Bilsborrow take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Bilsborrow usually runs over several weeks once foundations begin, and larger or two storey builds take longer. A realistic timescale is agreed before work starts.

Do you cover the villages around Bilsborrow as well?

Yes. Alongside Bilsborrow we regularly work in Brock, Myerscough, Claughton-on-Brock, Scorton, Barnacre-with-Bonds, and Calder Vale. Being based nearby in Broughton, these villages are an easy trip for us, so you get a genuinely local builder who can call in quickly for quotes, jobs, and any follow up.

Can you work on older cottages and farmhouses in Bilsborrow?

Absolutely. Many Bilsborrow properties are older brick or stone, and we are used to their quirks, from solid walls to damp and dated layouts. We renovate and extend these homes sympathetically, matching materials and keeping character intact while improving warmth, space, and comfort for modern family living.

Are you happy to take on smaller jobs, not just big builds?

Yes, we take on repairs and small jobs across Bilsborrow as readily as full extensions. A wall, a leak, some pointing, or a new opening, no job is too small. Being local means we can pop over, look properly, and give you honest advice without a wasted trip or an inflated price.
