Builders in South Ribble
Family-run builders covering South Ribble: Leyland, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Lostock Hall, Longton and more
DC Carpentry & Construction is a family-run builder based in Chorley, next door to South Ribble. We build extensions, take out walls and chimney breasts, fit kitchens and renovate homes across the borough, including Leyland, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Lostock Hall, Walton-le-Dale and Longton. Free site visit. Call 01257 543082.
Right next door
South Ribble starts a few miles from our base, so most of the borough is within easy reach. We cover the towns and the villages, from Penwortham and Leyland to Longton and Hutton.
Wherever you are in South Ribble, the story we hear is usually the same. The house is in the right place, it’s just not big enough any more. We can help with that.
Planning in South Ribble
Planning across the borough goes to South Ribble Borough Council. Single storey rear extensions are often permitted development. Two storey and side extensions have tighter limits, and many need an application. Buckshaw Village is split between South Ribble and Chorley, so check which side of the boundary you’re on.
What we do in South Ribble
One family-run team for the whole job, from the first visit through to handover.

Three of our builds. The full stories go up as Natasha’s photographs come in.


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.
