Single & Double-Storey Extensions

Ideal for general builders, roofers, electricians and plumbers.

Loft Conversions & Dormers

Attic transformations across Victorian terraces and semis – often needing full structural, insulation and roof work.

New Builds & Infill Homes

From self-build plots in Prestwich to city-centre mews houses – full build teams can benefit.

Outbuildings & Garden Rooms

Popular across suburban areas – great for electricians, joiners and floor fitters.

Change of Use Projects

Turning offices or shops into residential units – requiring full-service refurb teams.

HMO Conversions
