House Extensions in Ribbleton

Plenty of Ribbleton semis and terraces have room at the back or side for a well planned extension. We build single and double storey extensions here, from a bigger kitchen diner to an extra bedroom above. We handle foundations, brickwork tied cleanly into the existing house, and the fit out, working to your drawings and keeping everything within the plot and to building control approval.

Building work in Ribbleton

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

House Extensions in Ribbleton, common questions

Straight answers for your project and the local area.

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

Many single storey extensions in Ribbleton 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 Ribbleton take?

A typical single storey rear extension in Ribbleton 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 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.
