Bungalow Extensions in Ingol

There are bungalows dotted through Ingol and the streets around it, and they lend themselves well to thoughtful extending. We add extra bedrooms, larger living space or a fuller kitchen while keeping that easy single storey living intact. Where headroom allows, a loft or dormer can open up the roof space too. We work carefully so your Ingol bungalow stays practical and comfortable.

Building work in Ingol

Ingol is a mostly suburban part of Preston, made up of good sized post war and later estate housing, with semis and detached homes common across the area. Many properties have generous plots, driveways and integral or attached garages. Newer development sits close by around Cottam and Lightfoot Green. Owners here often look to extend, modernise older kitchens and bathrooms, or convert space they already have into something more useful.

Common questions

Bungalow Extensions in Ingol, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

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

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Ingol 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 Ingol as well?

Yes, we work right across this side of Preston. Alongside Ingol we regularly take on jobs in Cottam, Tanterton, Lightfoot Green, Lea, Greyfriars and Lea Town. Being based near Broughton, all of these are an easy run for us, so getting to your property and back is never a problem.

Can you work on the older estate houses common in Ingol?

Absolutely. A lot of Ingol housing is post war and later estate build, and we know how these properties are put together. From dated layouts and old services to worn brickwork, we improve and repair them sympathetically, keeping what works and updating what does not to suit modern living.

Are you a genuinely local builder?

We are. Broughton Building Company is based near Broughton, just a short drive from Ingol, so we are local rather than travelling in from afar. That means quicker visits, easier communication and a builder who knows the area and stands behind the work long after the job is finished.
