Withington is a short drive up Wilmslow Road from our office, and we work in the area all the time. The streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, with a mix of family homes, houses shared by students and hospital staff, and larger properties split into flats.
That mix means very different projects. Families often want a wider kitchen or an extra bedroom in the loft. Landlords usually need reliable refurbishments carried out quickly between tenancies. We do both, and we bring the same care to each.

Popular projects in Withington
Terraces with a rear outrigger are ideal for a side return extension downstairs and an L-shaped dormer loft conversion above. For landlords, we carry out property refurbishments, bathroom refits and kitchen replacements with minimal downtime.
Planning permission in Withington
Withington is covered by Manchester City Council. Most terraces and semis keep their permitted development rights, but if you are converting a family house into a shared house (HMO), check with the council first, as planning permission may be required. Side return and loft work on terraces will normally involve party wall notices.
Read our guides to extensions without planning permission and loft conversion planning rules for more detail.
