What we handle
Extension work planned around structure, use and finish
Good extension work starts long before the first brick is laid. Access, drainage, openings, existing walls, roof lines and the daily use of the property all affect how smoothly the build runs. On every project in Broughton and Preston the work is kept organised so decisions are made early, the structure is right and the finished space feels properly integrated with the original house.
- Single storey and rear extension building work.
- Brickwork, blockwork, openings, roof preparation and exterior detailing.
- Careful matching between new work and the existing property.
- Clear updates from the first visit through to finish and handover.
Types of extension we build
Every home is different, so the right kind of extension depends on the plot, the property and how you want to use the space. Broughton Building Company builds the full range of house extensions for homeowners across Lancashire.
- Single storey rear extensions to open up kitchens and living space.
- Side return extensions that use narrow, awkward space along the side of a house.
- Wrap around extensions that combine rear and side space into one open plan area.
- Two storey and double storey extensions that add bedrooms or a bathroom above new ground floor space.
- Kitchen extensions, porches and utility additions that solve a specific practical need.
If your home is a bungalow, the approach is a little different and often includes work into the roof space. You can read more on our dedicated bungalow extensions page.
Planning permission and building regulations
Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development, which means they can proceed without a full planning application, while larger, two storey or front facing work often needs planning permission from the local authority. Almost every extension still needs building regulations approval covering structure, insulation, drainage and fire safety. Broughton Building Company can look at your plans, work alongside your architect, structural engineer and building control, and give you a clear, honest view of what is likely to be needed before you commit to anything.
How the build runs, from first visit to handover
Work begins with a proper look at the property and a conversation about what you want the space to do. From there the scope, sequence and a clear quote are agreed. During the build the site is kept clean and organised, foundations, structure and weathering are dealt with in the right order, and you get straightforward updates rather than surprises. At the end the new work is finished, made good and handed over ready to use.
Extensions across Broughton, Preston and Lancashire
Broughton Building Company works on period terraces, semis and newer homes throughout Broughton, Fulwood, Preston, Penwortham, Leyland, Longridge, Garstang and Goosnargh. Local knowledge of the housing stock and ground conditions across this part of Lancashire helps the build run smoothly, from matching brickwork on an older property to tying a modern open plan extension into a newer house.
Why homeowners choose Broughton Building Company
Homeowners come back and recommend the company for the same reasons each time, which are clear communication, clean and respectful working practices, and careful finishing across brickwork, openings and the join between old and new. You always know who is doing the work, what is happening next and what has been agreed, which is what makes a large project like an extension far less stressful.
