House Extensions in Longridge

Longridge homes often have the plot to spread out, and a well planned extension makes the most of it. We build single and double storey extensions across the town and out towards Alston, adding kitchens, family rooms and extra bedrooms. We take care matching stone, brick and rooflines so the new work sits naturally against the existing house. From foundations to finish, we manage the whole build and keep you informed throughout.

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

House Extensions in Longridge, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Longridge 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 Longridge take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Longridge 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 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.
