House Extensions in Lancaster

Adding space to a Lancaster home means working around older stonework or tighter city plots, and we plan for both. Whether you want a rear kitchen diner on a period terrace or a side return on a newer estate house, we handle the drawings, foundations and building control. We match brick and stone carefully so your Lancaster extension looks like it always belonged, not bolted on.

Building work in Lancaster

Lancaster has a real mix of housing. You will find handsome Victorian and Georgian terraces close to the centre, solid stone built cottages in the outlying villages, and plenty of post war and modern estates spreading toward Morecambe. Many older properties carry thick walls, sash windows and dated layouts. Newer homes often need reconfiguring for growing families. We work sympathetically with each type, matching materials and respecting the character that makes Lancaster homes what they are.

Common questions

House Extensions in Lancaster, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Lancaster 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 Lancaster take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Lancaster 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 work in the villages around Lancaster as well as the city itself?

Yes, we cover Lancaster and the surrounding villages, including areas stretching toward Morecambe. Being based in Broughton, the whole district is an easy reach for us. Whether you are in a city terrace or a rural stone cottage nearby, we are happy to come out and take a proper look.

Can you handle older stone and period properties in Lancaster?

Absolutely. Many Lancaster homes are Victorian, Georgian or older stone builds, and we work with them regularly. We match materials sympathetically, respect original features, and understand how these buildings behave. Solid walls and dated services need the right approach, and we bring that experience to every period job we take on.

Are you local to Lancaster and reliable to reach?

We are a Broughton based firm, so Lancaster sits comfortably within our patch. That means quicker visits, fair travel and a team that knows local property styles and conditions. You get a builder who turns up when promised and is easy to contact, not a distant company treating Lancaster as an afterthought.
