Extension Types
Types of House Extension We Build in Macclesfield
Every extension project is different. We assess your property, your budget, and your goals — then advise the best approach.
Single-Storey Extensions
The most popular type of house extension in Macclesfield. A single-storey rear or side extension adds a kitchen-diner, utility room, home office, or extra living space. Most fall under Permitted Development.
Two-Storey Extensions
Double your extra space with a two-storey extension. Ideal for adding a bedroom and en-suite above a new kitchen or living room. We handle full planning applications and structural engineering.
Porches & Entrance Extensions
A porch adds kerb appeal and practical storage. Most porch extensions in Macclesfield fall within Permitted Development. Quick build time, competitive pricing.
Garden Rooms & Summer Houses
A garden room is a cost-effective alternative to a full extension. Perfect for a home office, gym, or studio. We design and build fully insulated, habitable garden structures across Cheshire.
