Greater Manchester Coverage
Greater Manchester's dense urban fabric spans Victorian mill towns, Edwardian suburbs, inter-war estates, and modern city centre developments. Red-brick terraces line streets from Levenshulme to Heaton Moor, while apartment blocks have transformed areas around Deansgate and Ancoats.
Common projects include ground-floor wall removals to create open-plan kitchens, loft conversions in 1930s semis, and rear extensions maximising use of compact urban plots. In the city centre, we also work on apartment internal alterations within concrete and steel-framed structures.
We prepare documentation suitable for Building Regulations Part A compliance. Regular work with Manchester City Council, Salford, and Stockport Building Control means we understand the submission standards they expect.
