If you live near Great Harwood town centre, chances are you have driven past a job or two of ours without knowing it. House extensions are the project most Preston homeowners ask us about first, and it is easy to see why: a well-planned kitchen-diner or side-return extension changes how a family actually uses a house, without the upheaval of moving. The housing in Great Harwood is typically stone and brick mill-town terraces with pockets of postwar and newer housing, and each of those property types brings its own structural quirks that we plan around from the first site visit.
Extending a home in Great Harwood usually means matching brick or render to the existing house, and working within the boundaries and neighbour considerations typical of these streets. Drive time from our 2 Longley Close, Preston, PR2 9FL base is around 34 minutes (roughly 18 miles), which means site visits, deliveries, and snagging call-backs never sit on the back burner the way they might with a contractor based further out.
As one team covering design through to build, we handle every stage of a project in Great Harwood ourselves, so you are never passed between separate contractors.
Quick Answer
A house extension adds new, permanent floor space to an existing property, most commonly a single-storey rear or side-return extension for a larger kitchen-diner, or a two-storey extension adding a bedroom above. It involves new foundations, brickwork or block-and-render walls, a roof structure, and full connection into the existing house's services and structure.

on site, from foundations to handover, for a standard single-storey extension
A house extension adds new, permanent floor space to your existing home, typically a single-storey rear extension for a bigger kitchen-diner or a two-storey extension for extra bedrooms. It involves foundations, a new structural shell, a roof, and full integration into your home's existing services. It is one of the more common enquiries we get from Great Harwood, particularly from stone and brick mill-town terraces with pockets of postwar and newer housing.
