Burnage is a short drive east of our Didsbury office and is full of solid, well-built 1930s semi-detached houses. They are great family homes, but many have a small kitchen, a hipped roof that limits the loft, and a garage or side space that is not being used.
That makes Burnage ideal for a few tried-and-tested projects: a hip-to-gable loft conversion for an extra bedroom, a single-storey rear extension for a bigger kitchen, or a garage conversion for an office or playroom. We also work on the older cottage-style homes of Burnage Garden Village.

Popular projects in Burnage
For a typical Burnage semi, a hip-to-gable loft conversion with a rear dormer adds a large bedroom, while a rear extension creates an open-plan kitchen. If you have a garage, a garage conversion is a quick way to add a room. We also carry out kitchen renovations and knock-throughs.
Planning permission in Burnage
Burnage is covered by Manchester City Council. Most 1930s semis keep their permitted development rights, so hip-to-gable lofts and 3 metre rear extensions often do not need planning permission. If your home is in or near Burnage Garden Village, check with the council whether extra controls apply.
