Why Choose a Home Extension Sale Project?
Designed for Your House
Every house in Sale is different. We design specifically for your property type, ensuring the structure is safe, buildable and compliant with regulations.
More Light & Space
Installing steel beams allows for wide spans and bi-fold doors. This floods the ground floor with light and connects your living space to the garden.
Avoid Moving Costs
Extend the home you enjoy rather than paying stamp duty and removal fees. You gain the extra space you need while staying in your local area.
Add Property Value
A compliant, well-designed extension or loft conversion is a solid investment that increases the value and appeal of your home.

FAQs
Do I need structural calculations for a home extension or loft conversion in Sale?
Yes. Building Control will ask for structural calculations to prove the design is safe and compliant. We prepare calculation packs and drawings for home extension Sale and loft conversion Sale projects.
How long do structural calculations take?
Most small to medium projects are turned around quickly once we have your drawings and brief. If you’ve got a deadline, tell us and we’ll prioritise where possible.
Can you work from my architect’s drawings or a simple sketch?
Yes. We can work from planning drawings or measured survey drawings. If you don’t have full plans yet, clear sketches and photos are fine for a quote and early advice.
What information do you need to give me a quote?
Your address, any drawings or sketches, a short description of what you want (extension, loft, knock-through), your preferred spans or opening widths, and any known site constraints. Photos of the existing structure help a lot.
Are your calculations accepted by Building Control?
Yes. Our packages follow UK Building Regulations and are issued in a clear format that Building Control can review and approve.
Do you cover areas outside Sale?
We cover Sale, Altrincham, Timperley, Hale, Bowdon, Didsbury, Stockport and wider Greater Manchester. If you’re just outside that, ask and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you design RSJ beams for open plan spaces and wide bi folds?
Yes. We design steels for knock throughs, rear extensions and large glazed openings. That includes beam sizing, bearings, padstones, posts and connection details for your builder.
What about loft specifics like dormers, ridge beams and stairs headroom?
We size ridge beams, purlins, trimmers and dormer framing, and we check the floor build-up. We also review stair opening trims and practical headroom so the loft is actually usable.
Do I always need a site visit in Sale?
Not always. Many domestic projects are completed from drawings, photos and a short call. If a visit in Sale or nearby will add value, we’ll recommend it.
How much do structural calculations cost?
We provide a fixed fee once we’ve seen your drawings and scope. No hidden extras. If the brief changes, we’ll confirm any update before doing extra work.
What happens after I receive the calculations and drawings?
Share them with your builder and Building Control. If any queries come back, we respond quickly and provide reasonable clarifications so approval runs smoothly.
