Where we work
Across the North West.
Preston's housing stock ranges from Victorian terraces in the city centre to substantial detached homes in Broughton, Fulwood and Penwortham. We size the extension to suit the house and the plot — no over-cooked designs, no cheap corner-cutting. We build extensions across Preston, Fulwood, Broughton, Penwortham, Longton, Bamber Bridge, Leyland and Longridge. We're a straight run up the M6 from our Darwen base.

Answers to the questions we get most.
How much does a house extension cost in Preston?+
As a rough guide for Preston and the surrounding area, a good-quality single-storey rear extension typically starts around £2,000–£2,500 per square metre. Double-storey works out lower per m² because you're getting more space for the same roof and foundations. We give you a proper fixed price after a site visit — no vague estimates.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Preston?+
Many extensions fall under Permitted Development, but limits vary by property type, size, boundary distances and whether you're in a conservation area or a listed building. We'll tell you honestly at the enquiry stage whether you need full planning, a lawful development certificate, or nothing at all — and can recommend a local architect if you don't already have one.
How long does a typical extension take to build?+
A single-storey rear extension is usually 10–14 weeks on site once foundations start. Double-storey and wrap-around extensions typically run 16–20 weeks. Kitchen fit-out and finishes tend to be the last stretch. We give you a proper programme up front so you can plan around it.
Do you handle the party wall agreement?+
We work with a network of party wall surveyors and can point you to the right one if your project needs a Party Wall Award. We flag it early — long before you're mid-build with an unhappy neighbour.
Can we still live in the house during the build?+
For most rear and side extensions, yes. We seal the works off from the existing house wherever possible and time noisy phases so you're not caught out. For larger wrap-arounds or projects that involve the kitchen, we'll be upfront about the disruption and can help plan around it.
What guarantees do you offer?+
All our work is backed by ICW warranty cover where applicable, plus a workmanship guarantee direct from HJK. Manufacturer warranties (boilers, windows, roofs, etc.) pass through to you on handover.
