Bungalow Extensions in Catterall

Catterall has a good number of rural bungalows out towards Cabus and Bowgreave, and they often have room to grow. We extend bungalows sideways for extra living space or add a loft room where the roof allows, keeping the low, settled look these homes are known for. Whether you want a bigger lounge or a ground floor bedroom and bathroom, we plan the work around comfortable single level living.

Building work in Catterall

Catterall is a mostly residential village with a mix of older canal side and farm cottages alongside plenty of later twentieth century estate housing. You will find brick semis and detached family homes, some rural bungalows, and the odd stone built older property near Churchtown and Bonds. Many owners here look to extend or modernise rather than move, given the settled village feel and the pull of Garstang close by. Building work tends towards practical family improvements.

Common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Yes. Adding a first floor, a dormer or converting a bungalow into a chalet style home is a common way to gain space in Catterall. 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 Catterall?

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Catterall 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 cover the villages around Catterall as well?

Yes. Alongside Catterall we regularly work in Garstang, Cabus, Nateby, Churchtown, Bonds and Bowgreave. Being based in Broughton just down the road, the whole Garstang area is easy for us to reach, so travel is never a problem for quotes or day to day work.

Can you work on both older cottages and newer estate homes in Catterall?

We do both. Catterall has older canal side and farm cottages that need a careful, sympathetic hand, plus plenty of later brick estate houses. We adjust our methods to suit the property, using traditional repairs on the older homes and modern extensions and conversions on the newer ones.

Yes. We are based in Broughton near Preston, only a short drive from Catterall, so we know the area and the local building conditions well. Being close by means we can pop over quickly to look at a job, stay on schedule, and be on hand if anything needs sorting.
