Construction Services in Altrincham
Extensions, loft conversions, renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing and bespoke joinery – drawn, built and finished by one in-house team. Builders, joiners and NICEIC electricians, all under one roof.
Every part of Altrincham builds a little differently
Ask any builder who works around here and they'll tell you the same thing: Altrincham's housing changes street by street. Bowdon's big Victorian villas, Hale's Edwardian semis, Timperley's 1930s family homes and Broadheath's newer estates all bring different foundations, different rooflines and different rules from Trafford Council.
We've spent more than 13 years building across Greater Manchester, and we plan every Altrincham project around the house in front of us – not a template. Our drawings, building work, joinery and electrics are all done in-house, so the person who designs your extension is talking to the people who build it.

How an Altrincham build runs with us
No vague start dates, no disappearing builders. Here's exactly what happens from your first call.
Free site visit
We visit your Altrincham home, listen to what you want, measure up and tell you honestly what's possible and roughly what it'll cost.
Drawings & fixed quote
Our in-house team produces the drawings and an itemised quote. You can see exactly what's included before committing to anything.
Planning & building control
We submit any planning application to Trafford Council, prepare building regs drawings and calcs, and arrange party wall notices if they're needed.
The build
Groundworks, structure, roof, first fix electrics and plumbing, plastering and second fix – all run to one programme, with one contact keeping you updated.
Finish, snag & sign off
We walk through every detail with you, put right any snags, and hand over building control completion and electrical certificates.
Do you need planning permission in Altrincham?
Altrincham comes under Trafford Council. Some projects can go ahead under permitted development rights, while others need a full planning application. It depends on the size and position of the work, the type of house, and whether you're in a conservation area – which covers parts of Bowdon, Hale and the town centre.
You don't need to work this out yourself. We check it at the first site visit and handle every application and approval for you.
| Often permitted development | Usually needs planning |
|---|---|
| Modest single-storey rear extensions within set size limits | Two-storey and larger rear extensions |
| Many loft conversions using rear dormers or roof lights | Front dormers or raising the roof ridge |
| Internal renovations, kitchens and bathrooms | Most work in conservation areas that changes the outside |
| Like-for-like roof repairs and re-roofs | Side extensions beyond permitted limits |
| Most garage conversions (internal works) | Flats, maisonettes and commercial changes of use |
A general guide only – rules depend on your exact property. We confirm what applies to your home before any work is planned.
One team instead of five contractors
Most building projects in Altrincham involve an architect, a builder, a joiner, an electrician and a plumber who've never met. Here's why we do it differently.
The usual way
- Separate architect, builder and electrician to find and manage
- Drawings that look good but are awkward to build
- Trades waiting on each other, so the job drags on
- Several quotes, several invoices, several excuses
- Paperwork chased at the end – if it turns up at all
The GreenerAmps way
- Design, build, joinery and electrics from one in-house team
- Drawings produced by people who actually build them
- One programme, so every trade arrives at the right time
- One clear, itemised quote and one point of contact
- Building control and NICEIC certificates handed over on completion

Huge thanks to the team at Greener Amps Ltd for the work on our new house. It's hard to find tradespeople who show up when they say they will and do the job to such a high standard, but these guys delivered on both.

Building in Altrincham: your questions
The things Altrincham homeowners ask us most before starting a project. Can't see yours? Give us a call – we're happy to talk it through.
Call 07446 367389Do you cover all of Altrincham?
Yes. We work across Altrincham's WA14 and WA15 postcodes, including Hale, Bowdon, Timperley, Broadheath and Hale Barns, as well as nearby Sale and Partington.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Altrincham?
It depends on the size, height and position of the extension and whether your home is in a conservation area. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, while larger projects need an application to Trafford Council. We check at the site visit and handle the application if one is needed.
Do you produce the drawings yourselves?
Yes. Our in-house team prepares planning drawings, building regulations packs and structural calculations, so most domestic projects don't need a separate architect or engineer.
How long does a house extension take?
A typical single-storey rear extension is usually built in around 8–12 weeks once approvals are in place, depending on size, groundwork and finish. You'll get a written programme with your quote.
Can I stay in my home while the work is done?
For most extensions, loft conversions and single-room projects, yes. We seal off work areas, keep dust down and keep essential services running. For whole-house renovations we'll talk through the options honestly.
Do you do the electrics as part of the build?
Yes. Our own NICEIC registered electricians handle all electrical work on our builds, certified to BS 7671 – no waiting for a separate contractor.
Do you work on period and conservation-area homes?
Yes. We regularly work on older properties in Bowdon and Hale, using matching materials and bespoke joinery where off-the-shelf products wouldn't suit the house.
How much does building work cost in Altrincham?
Every project is different, so we don't give guesswork prices. After a free site visit you'll get a clear, itemised, no-obligation quote showing exactly where the money goes.
