Bungalow Extensions in Fulwood

There are plenty of bungalows around Fulwood and the quieter roads towards Haighton, and they suit extending well. We add extra bedrooms, larger living space or a bigger kitchen, and where the plot allows we look at loft conversions to gain a floor. Every bungalow extension is planned to keep it light, level and easy to live in, with tidy work throughout.

Building work in Fulwood

Fulwood is one of the larger suburbs on the north side of Preston, so the housing is a real mix. You will find inter war semis and post war family homes on the established roads, along with newer estates and a scatter of older detached properties nearer Sharoe Green, Cadley and the greener edges by Haighton. Extensions, loft and garage work, and updating tired but solid homes are common requests here.

Common questions

Bungalow Extensions in Fulwood, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

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

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Fulwood 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 and areas around Fulwood as well?

Yes. Alongside Fulwood itself we regularly work in Haighton, Sharoe Green, Grimsargh, Cadley, Whitechapel and Greyfriars. Being based just up the road in Broughton, these are all easy runs for us, so you get a genuinely local builder rather than a firm travelling in from miles away.

Can you work on the older houses in Fulwood?

Definitely. Much of Fulwood is inter war and post war housing, and we are used to their brickwork, layouts and quirks. We match materials carefully, respect the character of the property, and update it sensibly, whether that is a full renovation or a single careful repair to keep the home solid.

Are you familiar with the newer estates in Fulwood too?

Yes. As well as the established streets, Fulwood has plenty of newer estate housing, and we work on those regularly. Extensions, garage conversions and internal alterations all suit these homes well. We know how they are built, so we can plan changes that add space and value while keeping everything neat and in keeping.
