Bungalow Extensions in Longridge

There are plenty of bungalows around Longridge, and extending one is a smart way to gain space without moving away from the area. We add ground floor extensions and loft conversions that open bungalows up, bringing in light and creating room for growing families. Working on single storey homes means careful attention to roof lines and drainage. We plan each Longridge bungalow project to suit how you actually live in it.

Building work in Longridge

Longridge sits on the edge of open countryside below the fell, so the housing here is a real mix. You find older stone cottages and terraces near the town centre, sturdy period homes, and newer estate housing spreading out towards Dilworth and Alston. Many properties have decent gardens and room to grow. Building work often means blending old and new, working with solid stone walls, and respecting the rural character shared with nearby Ribchester and Knowle Green.

Common questions

Bungalow Extensions in Longridge, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

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

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Longridge 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 Longridge as well as the town itself?

Yes. As well as Longridge we regularly work in the surrounding villages, including Dilworth, Alston, Ribchester, Knowle Green, Hurst Green and Stonyhurst. Being based nearby in Broughton, the whole Ribble Valley is easy for us to reach, so distance is rarely a problem for jobs of any size.

Are you used to working on older stone properties in Longridge?

We are. Much of Longridge has older stone cottages, terraces and period homes with solid walls and original features. We understand how these buildings behave, from damp and pointing to matching stonework, and we work sympathetically so any new work sits comfortably alongside the character of the existing house.

Can you handle work on newer estate homes as well?

Absolutely. Longridge has plenty of newer housing spreading towards Dilworth and Alston, and we work on these just as often as older homes. Extensions, garage conversions, kitchens and bathrooms all suit modern properties well, and we tailor each job to how the house is built and how you use it.
