Dormer loft conversion bedroom with en-suite completed by Builders Manchester Ltd in Didsbury

Builders Manchester Ltd is based at 792 Wilmslow Road, in the middle of Didsbury village. We live and work locally, we know the streets and the houses, and we have built extensions, loft conversions and renovations for neighbours all over M20.

Didsbury's homes are a big part of its appeal, and they need builders who respect them. Whether you are opening up a Victorian semi off Wilmslow Road, adding a loft bedroom to an Edwardian terrace near Burton Road or extending a 1930s semi towards Parrs Wood, we will help you add space while keeping the character that made you buy the house.

Homes we work on in Didsbury

  • Large Victorian and Edwardian semis and villas around the village and West Didsbury
  • Edwardian terraces off Burton Road and Lapwing Lane
  • 1930s semis towards Didsbury East and Parrs Wood
  • Converted flats and apartments in larger period houses

Popular projects in Didsbury

We recently finished a dormer loft conversion in Didsbury that turned an unused attic into a bright master bedroom with en-suite. Loft conversions and side return extensions are the most popular projects in M20, along with open-plan kitchen extensions and full renovations of period homes.

Planning permission in Didsbury

Didsbury falls under Manchester City Council. Parts of the area sit within conservation areas, including Didsbury Village and Didsbury St James, where permitted development rights are more limited. In a conservation area, side extensions, two-storey rear extensions and roof alterations facing the road usually need planning permission. We check your address before any design work starts.
