House Extensions in Fulwood

Many Fulwood family homes have decent plots but dated layouts, so a rear or side extension is one of the best ways to add real space. We build single and double storey extensions across the suburb, matching brick and rooflines to the existing house so it looks original. We handle foundations, structure and finish, and keep the disruption to family life as low as we can.

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

House Extensions in Fulwood, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Fulwood 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 Fulwood take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Fulwood 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 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.
