House Extensions in Broughton

Family homes in Broughton often need more room as households grow, and a well planned house extension is usually the answer. We build single and double storey extensions that suit the property, whether that is a bigger kitchen dining space or extra bedrooms above. We handle foundations, structure and finishes, work to your plans and building control, and keep the site tidy from first dig to final coat.

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

House Extensions in Broughton, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Broughton 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 Broughton take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Broughton 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 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.
