Bungalow Extensions in Broughton

Broughton and the surrounding lanes have their share of bungalows, and extending one takes a careful eye. We add space at ground level or into the roof for extra bedrooms, wider living rooms or a bright garden room. Keeping the roofline and proportions right matters on a bungalow, so we plan the work to blend in and feel part of the original home rather than an afterthought.

Building work in Broughton

Broughton has a real mix of homes, from older brick cottages and traditional semis near the main routes through to newer estate housing built as the village grew. Plenty of larger detached and rural properties sit along the surrounding lanes towards Barton and Woodplumpton. Common work here includes extending family homes for more space, updating tired interiors, and looking after the fabric of older buildings that need sympathetic, well judged repairs.

Common questions

Bungalow Extensions in Broughton, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

Can you add a first floor to a bungalow in Broughton?

Yes. Adding a first floor, a dormer or converting a bungalow into a chalet style home is a common way to gain space in Broughton. It depends on the existing walls and foundations, so the structure is checked and coordinated with a structural engineer before work begins.

Do I need planning permission for a bungalow extension in Broughton?

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Broughton fall under permitted development, while adding a first floor or a larger footprint usually needs planning permission. Building regulations approval is needed in almost all cases.

Do you work in the villages around Broughton as well?

Yes. As well as Broughton itself we regularly work in the surrounding area including Barton, Woodplumpton, Catforth, Goosnargh, Whittingham and Inglewhite. Being based locally, these villages and the lanes between them are easy for us to reach, so we can get to site quickly and keep an eye on jobs throughout.

Can you work on older cottages and period homes in Broughton?

We do plenty of work on older and traditional properties around Broughton. These homes need a careful approach with the right materials and methods, especially for damp, pointing and timber. We repair and extend them sympathetically so improvements sit comfortably with the original building rather than looking out of place.

Are you happy to take on both new estate homes and rural properties?

Absolutely. Broughton has newer estate housing as well as detached and rural homes along the country lanes, and we work on both. From straightforward extensions on modern houses to more involved projects on older rural properties, we tailor how we work to suit the building and its setting.
