Bungalow Extensions in Ribbleton

Ribbleton has a fair number of bungalows across its quieter roads, and they often suit extending outward or into the roof. We add extra bedrooms, larger living space or a wider kitchen, matching the low profile of the original build. Access is planned around the garden and neighbours, and we keep the roofline and brick sympathetic so the finished bungalow still looks right.

Ribbleton is a settled suburban part of Preston, sitting close to Deepdale, Brookfield and Moor Park. The housing is a real mix, with terraced and semi detached homes from the earlier decades alongside later post war estates and pockets of newer building. Many properties have modest gardens and standard plots. Typical jobs include rear extensions, loft and garage work, kitchen and bathroom updates, and steady repairs to ageing brickwork and roofs.

Common questions

Bungalow Extensions in Ribbleton, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

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

Some single storey bungalow extensions in Ribbleton 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 areas around Ribbleton as well?

Yes. We are out this side of Preston regularly, so alongside Ribbleton we work in Deepdale, Brookfield, Moor Park, Fishwick, Plungington and St Matthew's. Being local means shorter journeys, quicker visits to price up a job, and no long distance travel costs added on to your bill.

Can you work on the older houses common in Ribbleton?

Very much so. A lot of Ribbleton stock is older terraced and semi detached property, and we are used to solid walls, ageing brickwork and dated layouts. We work with what is there, use materials that suit the original build, and modernise sensibly without causing problems for the structure.

Do you handle building control and drawings for extensions in Ribbleton?

We can point you to a local architect and structural engineer for drawings and calculations, then build to those and deal with building control inspections on site. For many Ribbleton extensions and alterations we guide you through the process so you are not left sorting the paperwork alone.
