Experienced House Extension Builders
Homes in Stalybridge range from period terraces and semis to inter-war housing, post-war estates and newer developments, and each brings its own considerations when extending. KJL Builders design and build house extensions that suit each of them — matching brick, roof lines and proportions so the extension looks like it has always been part of the house — and we liaise with Tameside Council building control throughout, so your finished extension is fully signed off.

Types of House Extensions We Build
Whichever type of extension suits your home, our experienced team manages the project from first design to final finish.
Double Storey Extensions
Significantly increases both ground and upper floor space — ideal for additional bedrooms, extra bathrooms or a complete layout transformation, offering excellent value by sharing structural costs.
Rear Kitchen Extensions
Expands the back of the property to create larger living areas or open-plan kitchens that connect to the garden, often finished with bi-fold doors and roof lights to maximise natural light.
Side Return Extensions
Uses the narrow unused space beside a property to extend the kitchen or living area — particularly popular with terraced and semi-detached homes looking to improve layout and functionality.
Wrap Around Extensions
Combines a rear and side extension to create one large open living space, completely transforming the ground floor — ideal for large open-plan kitchens and modern family living areas.
How Much Does a House Extension Cost in Stalybridge?
While every project is different, a typical extension in the UK generally ranges between £2,500 and £3,000 per square metre. The final price depends on the size of the extension, the type of extension (single storey usually costs less than double storey or wrap-around), the materials and finishes chosen, the complexity of the design, and site-specific factors such as access and ground conditions. Here are some rough examples based on that typical range.
£50,000 – £60,000
Small Single Storey (20m²)
Ideal for kitchen or dining room expansions.
£100,000 – £120,000
Medium Double Storey (40m²)
Perfect for adding bedrooms and expanding living areas.
£150,000 – £180,000
Large Wrap Around (60m²)
Great for full ground floor transformations and open-plan living.
