How long does a typical house extension take?

The timeline varies depending on the extension type and size, but typically ranges from 8-16 weeks for construction. Single-storey extensions usually take 8-12 weeks, while double-storey extensions may require 12-16 weeks. Additional time should be allowed for planning and design phases, which typically take 4-8 weeks depending on whether planning permission is required.

How do I know if my property is suitable for an extension?

Most Wigan properties have extension potential, but factors such as land availability, property type, local planning restrictions, and structural considerations all play a role. Our initial consultation and site survey will determine the feasibility of your extension ideas and identify the most appropriate solutions for your specific property and requirements.

Will I need to move out during the extension work?

Most extensions can be completed while you remain in your home. We take extensive measures to minimise disruption, including dust containment, maintaining essential services, and creating clear separation between living areas and construction zones. For more extensive renovations, some homeowners choose to temporarily relocate during the most disruptive phases, but this is rarely essential.
