Covering Morecambe
Alongside Morecambe, we also cover Lancaster, Fleetwood (12 miles to the south-west) and Ulverston.
Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
What does a single-storey extension involve?
We design the extension around how you use the house: where the light comes from, how the new room joins the old one, and what happens to the drains and the garden. The structure is built in brick or block to match the house, finished with a flat roof and lantern or a pitched roof, then insulated, plastered and handed back ready to decorate.
- Measured survey and design drawings
- Planning or lawful development certificate where needed
- Brickwork, roof, glazing and insulation
How much does a single-storey extension cost in Morecambe?
Typical ranges for single-storey extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,600 to £3,000 per m² |
| Good specification | £3,000 to £3,500 per m² |

Do you need permission for a single-storey extension in Morecambe?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary.
What can affect a single-storey extension?
- Large glazed areas need to meet energy rules, which can shape the size of doors and rooflights.
- Kitchens and doors have long lead times, so we order them early.
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.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
