House Extensions & Building Work in Wigan
House extensions and general building work for homeowners in Wigan who need more space or want to improve their property.
Illustrative photoAn extension starts with a simple question: what do you want the extra space to do? A bigger kitchen diner, an extra bedroom or a utility room all lead to different layouts and different building work.
We’ll talk through your existing property, your ideas for the layout and anything already prepared, such as drawings. Extensions can need planning permission, building regulations approval, or input from architects and structural engineers, and we’ll discuss which approvals and professional input your project is likely to need.

Before you enquire
Points to consider
Having a rough idea of these makes the first conversation more useful. You don’t need every answer.
- What you want the extra space to achieve
- The existing property: its age, construction and access
- Your proposed layout
- Whether drawings are available, or still to be prepared
- The likely scope of building work
- Necessary approvals and professional input, such as planning permission, building regulations and structural design

Questions
Extensions & Building FAQs
Do I need plans before I contact you?
No. You can get in touch at the idea stage. If you already have drawings, mention them in your enquiry as they help with the discussion.
Will my extension need planning permission?
It depends on the size, position and type of extension and on your property. Some extensions need planning permission and most need building regulations approval. Check with Wigan Council’s planning service and we can talk through what your project is likely to need.
Do you design extensions?
Design, architectural drawings and structural calculations are usually provided by specialist professionals. We’ll discuss what input your project needs.
Can you fit the kitchen or bathroom in a new extension?
Yes. Kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing and joinery are all part of what M&P does, so they can be discussed as part of the extension.
