Greenbank is based in Gatley, so Cheadle site visits are usually available the same week, and we respond to every enquiry within 48 hours. Local knowledge ## Home Extensions in Cheadle — what the housing stock demands. Cheadle, Gatley and Cheadle Hulme are dominated by inter-war and post-war semis and detached homes with rear gardens deep enough for a 3–4 metre extension without swallowing the garden. The classic project here is knocking the rear reception and kitchen together and extending out to create one continuous family space. ### Typical Cheadle projects - 1930s semis in Cheadle and Gatley — 3–4m rear extensions with a structural opening into the existing kitchen. - Detached homes in Cheadle Hulme — side-and-rear wrap-arounds adding a utility and boot room alongside the kitchen. - Terraces near Cheadle Heath — side-return extensions where the plot allows. - Properties on Cheadle Heath's sandstone — foundation depths that differ significantly from the clay a few streets away. ### Planning & Building Regulations Stockport Council covers Cheadle. Most 3–4 metre single-storey rear extensions are permitted development or handled through the larger home extension prior approval route. Double-storey work needs full planning. Building Regulations approval applies to all of it and we manage the submissions. Costs & timescales ## Honest guide prices for Cheadle. These are guide ranges, not quotes. Every Greenbank price follows a proper site survey — we respond within 48 hours to book yours. ### Single-storey rear extension £2,200–£3,000 per m² Includes structure, glazing, plastering and decoration. ### Side return extension Priced individually Drainage diversion and roof tie-in drive the cost. ### Double-storey extension £1,800–£2,400 per m² Stronger value per square metre where planning permits. 10–16 weeks on site, with 6–12 weeks beforehand for design, approvals and structural drawings. How we build it ## The detail that decides whether it lasts. 01 ### Ground conditions change street by street Cheadle Heath sits on sandstone in places while much of Cheadle and Gatley is clay. Those need different foundation solutions, and guessing is expensive. We dig a trial hole before pricing anything substantial so the foundation cost in your quote is real. 02 ### The structural opening is the whole project Most of the felt difference in a Cheadle rear extension comes from how wide the opening between old and new is, and whether the steel is flush with the ceiling. We design for a flush beam wherever the structure permits, because a downstand across the middle of your new space is the detail clients regret most. 03 ### Local, and easy to get hold of We are five minutes away in Gatley. Site decisions get made in person on the same day, and the team is not spread across three towns. For a project living in your house for three months, that responsiveness matters more than any brochure. FAQ ## Home Extensions in Cheadle — your questions.
