Bungalow Extensions in Preston

Preston has plenty of bungalows out towards Larches and the quieter outer estates, and they lend themselves well to extending. We add ground floor rooms, sunrooms or loft conversions to make better use of the plot without losing the single storey feel. Every bungalow extension is designed around light, level access and how you actually live, then built neat with minimal fuss to your day.

Building work in Preston

Preston homes cover a huge range. You get Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the city centre, Avenham and Frenchwood, along with solid bay fronted houses through Ashton-on-Ribble and Broadgate. The Larches and outer estates bring plenty of post war and modern builds. That mix means work here spans old brick, sash windows and lath and plaster through to cavity walls and newer layouts, so no two Preston jobs are quite the same.

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

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

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Preston 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 whole of Preston and nearby areas?

Do you work on older terraced houses in Preston?

Very often. A lot of Preston housing near the centre, Avenham and Frenchwood is Victorian and Edwardian terrace. We understand solid walls, sash windows, lath and plaster and older drainage, so we can renovate, extend or repair these homes properly while keeping the features worth saving.

Can you handle newer estate homes as well?

Absolutely. Out towards Larches and the outer estates the houses are mostly post war and modern builds with cavity walls and standard layouts. We do garage conversions, extensions, kitchens, bathrooms and repairs on these just as readily, matching modern materials and finishes to the existing property.
