House Extensions in Preston

Space is tight on many Preston plots, so we plan house extensions to suit the ground you have. On the tighter terraced streets near the centre and Avenham we work carefully with neighbours and access, while larger Broadgate and Ashton-on-Ribble homes often take a bigger rear or side build. We handle drawings, foundations and building control, matching brick and roofline so the new part looks like it belongs.

House Extensions in Preston

What we handle

  • Single storey rear extensions to open up kitchens and living space.
  • Side return and wrap around extensions that use awkward space.
  • Two storey and double storey extensions for extra bedrooms.
  • Careful matching of brickwork between new work and the existing home.

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.

Common questions

House Extensions in Preston, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Preston 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 Preston take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Preston 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 whole of Preston and nearby areas?

Yes. We are based in Broughton just north of the city, so we cover all of Preston including the City Centre, Avenham, Frenchwood, Broadgate, Ashton-on-Ribble and Larches. Being this close means quick call outs, easy site visits and no long travel charges added to your quote.

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.
