Local knowledge ## Home Extensions in Hale — what the housing stock demands. Hale and Hale Barns fall under Trafford Council, and the plots here are among the largest we work on. That opens up wrap-around and double-storey options that simply are not available on tighter Stockport streets — but it also means the design has to hold its own against a substantial existing house rather than just add floor area behind it. ### Typical Hale projects - Edwardian and inter-war villas near the village — rear extensions that need careful material matching against original brickwork and stonework. - Large detached homes in Hale Barns — double-storey and wrap-around extensions, often with structural openings across the full rear elevation. - Conservation area properties — full planning applications with detailed material and glazing specification. - Modern detached housing — straightforward structurally, but with high expectations on glazing, screed quality and finish tolerance. ### Planning & Building Regulations Hale sits within Trafford Council. Conservation area coverage around Hale village restricts permitted development, and larger extensions on substantial plots frequently need full planning permission regardless. We prepare and manage the application, structural design and Building Regulations submission. Costs & timescales ## Honest guide prices for Hale. 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 from £2,200 per m² Rising with structural glazing and premium finishes. ### Double-storey extension £1,800–£2,400 per m² Best value per square metre on larger footprints. ### Wrap-around / full remodel Priced individually Typically combined with internal reconfiguration. 12–20 weeks on site for most Hale projects, with 10–16 weeks beforehand for design, planning determination and structural approvals. How we build it ## The detail that decides whether it lasts. 01 ### Structural glazing needs early decisions Large sliding or slim-framed systems common in Hale carry 10–16 week lead times and dictate the steel design above them. We fix the glazing specification during design so the structural engineer designs to the real loads and openings, rather than reworking steels after the order is placed. 02 ### Matching a house that people notice On Hale properties the extension is judged against original brick bonds, stone cills and roof detailing. We specify matched materials, keep mortar colour consistent and set out brick courses to align with existing openings. It is slow work at the start and invisible when done properly. 03 ### One team, one point of accountability Larger Hale projects often involve structural engineers, glazing suppliers, kitchen fitters and landscapers. Lewis coordinates all of it directly rather than leaving you to referee between trades — which is where most large residential builds go wrong. FAQ ## Home Extensions in Hale — your questions.
