Covering Swinton
We work in Swinton (M27) and the places around it, including Eccles, Walkden and Salford.
Homes in the North West
The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.
What goes into a new-build home?
A new-build home is a house built from the ground up on a plot, whether a one-off self-build for your family or a small group of homes. Building a new dwelling is usually zero-rated for VAT when carried out by a VAT-registered builder, which is a major cost difference from extensions and renovations.
- Design, planning application and discharge of conditions
- Groundworks, services and drainage connections
- Superstructure, roof, windows and external finishes

Do you need permission for a new-build home in Swinton?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
This needs full planning permission from the council.
What should I think about before starting?
- Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
From first call to completion
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
