Village life, with a bit more room
Higher Wheelton is a couple of miles up the road from us. It’s a village people choose on purpose, for the countryside and the quieter pace. That’s a lot to give up just to get an extra bedroom.
Extending gives you the space without the move. And because the money goes into the house rather than into stamp duty and fees, you’re adding to what your home’s worth while you’re at it.
Planning in Higher Wheelton
Higher Wheelton is in Chorley borough, so planning goes to Chorley Council. If your house is older or listed, or sits in a conservation area, the rules are different, and we’ll tell you exactly what applies before you commit to anything.
What we do in Higher Wheelton
One family-run team for the whole job, from the first visit through to handover.
Work like this
Three of our builds. The full stories go up as Natasha’s photographs come in.


From abandoned 1950s house to five-bedroom family home
This house had been left empty for years, and three bedrooms and one bathroom became five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

A single-storey kitchen extension, matched brick for brick
The whole point was that you can’t tell where the original house stops and the extension starts.

A contemporary remodel, extended on three sides
Front, side and rear extensions with a full internal remodel. Build photos, stage by stage.

The local bits people ask us before they ring.
Do you work in the villages, or just the towns?
Both. Higher Wheelton is about two miles from our base, so it’s very much on our patch.
Can an extension match an older house?
Yes. Matching the brick, the stone, the mortar and the details is a big part of doing an extension properly, and it’s something we care about.

We cover nineteen towns and villages across this part of Lancashire.
