House Extensions in Garstang

House extensions in Garstang give growing families more room without leaving a home they love. We build single and double storey additions on properties across the town and out towards Catterall, matching new brickwork and rooflines to the existing house. From kitchen diners to extra bedrooms, we plan each Garstang extension around how you actually live, keeping the work tidy and the finish neat.

Building work in Garstang

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. Building work here ranges from sensitive updates to period homes to modern extensions on family houses.

Common questions

House Extensions in Garstang, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Garstang 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 Garstang take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Garstang 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 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.
