Home Extensions in Radcliffe & Manchester
Create the room your home is missing with a well-planned extension that connects naturally to the existing building and gives you useful space where you need it most.
01 / Overview
Add space without leaving the home you already know
A good extension should feel like part of the original house, not an afterthought. We plan the structure, circulation, natural light and finish together so the new space works day to day as well as looking right from inside and out.
Drytech handles home extension projects across the North West, from the initial site conversation through to the finished build. Whether the goal is a larger kitchen, extra living space, another bedroom or a more open ground floor, the design is shaped around the way you want to use your home.
02 / Options
Extension types
02
Side-Return Extensions
Use narrow side space to widen the ground floor and improve the layout of terraces and period homes.
03
Wraparound Extensions
Combine rear and side space for a larger transformation with more flexibility in the internal layout.
04
Double-Storey Extensions
Add space over two floors where the property and planning position allow, creating bedrooms as well as ground-floor living space.
03 / The Drytech Approach
Designed around the whole house
The strongest extension projects solve more than a square-footage problem. We consider how people move through the house, where light enters, how the old and new structures meet and how the finished space will be used throughout the year.

05 / FAQs
Home Extensions FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?+
Some extensions may fall within permitted development rights, while others require planning permission. The answer depends on the property, previous alterations, dimensions and local restrictions, so it should be checked for the individual project.
Can you build a kitchen extension?+
Yes. Rear and side extensions are commonly used to create larger kitchen, dining and family spaces, and the layout can be planned around the way you use the home.
Can an extension be built to match the existing house?+
Yes. Brickwork, roof form, windows and external details can be selected to complement the existing property, or the design can deliberately use a more contemporary contrast.
Which areas do you cover for extensions?+
Drytech undertakes extension projects across the North West. Send us your postcode and a short outline of the project and we can confirm whether we cover your area.
What affects the cost of a home extension?+
The size and number of storeys, ground conditions, access, structural changes, glazing and internal specification all affect the quote. Send your postcode, drawings if available, and a description of the rooms you need so we can discuss a site survey and a project-specific quotation.
What should I prepare before an extension site survey?+
Bring any existing plans, an outline of your budget and priorities, and details of how you want to use the new space. Tell us about access to the side or rear of the property and whether you plan to remain at home during the build.
