Yes. Any work that affects the structure of the building, including load bearing wall removal Southport projects, requires Building Regulations approval. We handle the application, structural calculations and inspections on your behalf.

A structural engineer will assess the wall and confirm whether it is load-bearing. We arrange this assessment as part of our service so you have clear advice before any work begins.

A straightforward non-load-bearing wall removal can often be completed in a few days. Load-bearing wall removal and associated making-good usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the size of the opening and the amount of finishing work required.

Yes. This is one of the most popular requests we receive. We specialise in open plan knock through Southport projects that combine kitchen, dining and living spaces into one flowing area.

Yes. In addition to removing walls we install new partition walls Southport homeowners need when they want to create extra rooms or redefine the layout of their property.

A single-storey extension adds space at ground level only, while a multi-storey extension increases accommodation on more than one floor. Multi-storey projects involve more complex structural design and usually require full planning permission.

Yes. Many of our projects involve removing internal walls, inserting structural steelwork and creating flowing open-plan spaces that connect kitchen, dining and living areas with the garden.

Timescales depend on the size and complexity of the project, planning requirements and site conditions. Once drawings and approvals are in place we provide a realistic construction programme, so you know what to expect.

Yes. We use materials from established UK suppliers that carry manufacturer guarantees, and our workmanship is fully guaranteed. You receive clear documentation at the end of the project.

Absolutely. All structural work, insulation, ventilation and other regulated elements are designed to meet current Building Regulations. We manage the Building Control process and obtain the necessary approvals and completion certificates.

Wrap-around extensions combine a rear and side addition into one continuous L-shaped space, unlocking far more usable floor area than a standard rear extension alone. These projects are particularly effective on semi-detached and detached homes in Southport, Churchtown and Birkdale where side access or a wider plot allows the design to flow around the property. The result is a generous, light-filled living area that can accommodate a large kitchen, dining zone and informal seating while improving the connection between house and garden.

• Creates substantially more floor space than a rear-only extension
• Excellent for open-plan living with distinct zones within one large room
• Makes clever use of side and rear gardens that might otherwise be under-utilised
• Can improve the external appearance and proportions of the house
• Supports high-specification finishes such as roof lanterns and extensive glazing

Delivered as a complete design-and-build package with full project management

Open plan extensions are designed specifically to remove internal walls and create flowing, multi-functional living spaces. Many Southport homeowners commission these when they want a modern kitchen-diner that opens directly onto the garden, or a large family room that feels bright and sociable. Our open-plan projects carefully balance structural requirements, natural light, heating and ventilation so the finished space is both beautiful and practical for everyday life.

• Transforms traditional cellular layouts into contemporary open living areas
• Perfect for modern family life, entertaining and improved natural light
• Can incorporate structural steelwork and knock-throughs as part of the package
• Allows for statement features such as bifold doors, roof lights and kitchen islands

When ground-floor space alone is not enough, a multi-storey extension provides the opportunity to add bedrooms, bathrooms or home offices above while expanding living space below. These projects require careful structural design, thoughtful external appearance and close attention to neighbour amenity and local planning policy. As high-end extension builders Southport clients choose for more ambitious work, we manage the full process — from initial feasibility and structural calculations through to construction — ensuring the finished extension looks intentional and performs to a high standard.

• Adds valuable accommodation on more than one level
• Ideal for growing families needing extra bedrooms or larger living areas
• Requires detailed structural engineering and Building Regulations approval
• Can be designed to match or complement the existing house style
• Increases both lifestyle benefit and long-term property value

A side extension makes excellent use of unused space beside the house, whether filling a narrow gap or creating a more substantial addition. In Southport and surrounding areas such as Ainsdale and Formby, side extensions are often used to enlarge kitchens, create utility rooms, or form the first stage of a larger wrap-around scheme. We pay particular attention to matching materials, roof lines and the impact on neighbouring properties so the finished result feels coherent and well considered.

• Utilises often overlooked side space to increase floor area
• Suitable for both modest and more substantial additions
• Can be combined with rear extensions for a wrap-around design
• Helps create better internal flow and more practical room layouts
