Home Extensions in Alsager, Cheshire East

Most of our projects in the ST7 area start with a simple wish: a bigger, brighter kitchen-diner. Whether you're in one of the Victorian properties near the town centre or a more modern semi, a single storey rear extension can completely change the flow of your ground floor. We’re experts at the 'knock-through'—removing that old back wall and installing the necessary RSJs (rolled steel joists) to create a seamless, open-plan space. Imagine sliding open bi-fold doors on a summer evening, or finally having enough room for a kitchen island where the kids can do their homework while you cook. It’s not just about adding square metres; it's about making your home work for the way you actually live.

If it’s bedrooms you’re lacking, a double storey side or rear extension is often the smartest investment you can make. It’s a common sight across Cheshire East—families adding that much-needed fourth bedroom or a proper master ensuite. The beauty of a two-storey build is that the 'expensive' part (the foundations and the roof) is already being done for the ground floor, so the cost per square metre for the upper level is often surprisingly good value. We ensure the new brickwork and roof tiles match your existing home perfectly, so it doesn't look like a bolt-on, but like it was always meant to be there.

We know the biggest worry for homeowners is the thought of managing a dozen different tradespeople. Who shows up when? Is the plumber talking to the brickie? With P D Roofing & Building Contractors Cheshire, you don't have to worry about any of that. We handle the entire project from the first spade in the ground for the footings to the final lick of paint. We break our work down into clear stages: 1st Fix (the structural shell, wiring, and plumbing), 2nd Fix (plastering, internal doors, and skirting), and 3rd Fix (fitting the kitchen, bathrooms, and those all-important finishing touches). You get a single point of contact and a team that takes pride in keeping a tidy site.

Does the thought of Cheshire East Council's planning portal give you a bit of a headache? It's one of the first questions we get asked: 'Do I need planning permission?' The good news is that many home extensions fall under Permitted Development (PD), meaning you can often build without a full planning application, provided you stick to certain limits. However, every extension requires Building Regulations sign-off. This is the legal bit that ensures your home is structurally sound, well-insulated, and fire-safe. We work closely with building inspectors throughout the build, ensuring every stage is signed off so that when you eventually come to sell your house, you have all the paperwork in order.
