Bungalow Extensions in Garstang

Bungalows are common around Garstang and the quieter village lanes nearby, and they suit thoughtful extension. We add extra bedrooms, larger living spaces, or a wraparound to the rear, keeping the single storey feel while opening things up. Working on Garstang bungalows, we take care with roof lines and light, so the extended home still sits comfortably on its plot and feels natural throughout.

Garstang mixes older stone and brick homes near the town with newer estates spreading out towards Bowgreave and Bonds. Many properties sit on generous rural plots, and cottages appear in the villages around Churchtown and Nateby.

Common questions

Bungalow Extensions in Garstang, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

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

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Garstang 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 Garstang as well as the town?

Yes. We work throughout Garstang and the surrounding villages, including Catterall, Cabus, Nateby, Churchtown, Bonds, and Bowgreave. Being based nearby at Broughton, these areas are an easy reach for us, so you get a genuinely local builder for your project rather than a firm travelling in from far away.

Can you work on older or period properties in Garstang?

We do this regularly. Garstang and villages like Churchtown have plenty of older stone and brick homes and cottages. We understand how these properties are built and take care to match materials and detailing, so repairs and extensions respect the original character while bringing the comfort and standards of a modern home.

Are you happy to take on newer estate homes near Garstang too?

Absolutely. Alongside period work, we handle plenty of jobs on the newer houses spreading out towards Bowgreave and Bonds. Extensions, garage conversions, and kitchen or bathroom upgrades all suit these homes, and we tailor each Garstang project to the property and how your family uses the space.
