Joiners and builders in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Opening up and extending family homes

Newcastle-under-Lyme has many 1930s semi-detached and detached houses, especially in Westlands, Clayton, Porthill and May Bank. These homes have good-sized gardens and solid construction, but their layout of separate small rooms does not always suit modern family life.

The most popular projects we carry out in Newcastle-under-Lyme are:

• Kitchen extensions that create a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family space
• Knock-throughs between the kitchen and dining room, with a new steel beam
• Loft conversions to add a bedroom and bathroom
• New kitchens with islands and breakfast bars
• Original-style doors and staircases that suit the period of the house

Student lets near Keele

With Keele University on the doorstep, many landlords in areas such as Silverdale and the town centre let to students. We help landlords refresh properties over the summer with hard-wearing flooring, fire doors and practical kitchens that stand up to busy shared houses.

Planning in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Planning applications are handled by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development, and the Planning Portal has an interactive guide to the rules. We can build from your architect's drawings and work with building control throughout the project. See our extensions and renovations page for more.

Bay windows, hallways and fitted storage

Many 1930s homes in Westlands and Clayton have large bay windows, wide hallways and awkward spaces under the stairs. These are perfect for bespoke joinery, such as a built-in window seat with storage underneath, a boot room bench in the hallway or a pull-out cupboard under the stairs. In the former mining villages of Silverdale and Chesterton, terraced houses benefit from the same space-saving ideas, alongside new kitchens and flooring.

Period homes in Wolstanton and May Bank

Wolstanton and May Bank also have larger Victorian and Edwardian houses with high ceilings, original staircases and panelled doors. Here we focus on joinery that suits the character of the house, from restoring a staircase with new spindles to fitting alcove cupboards beside original fireplaces.

Whether you are extending a 1930s semi in Clayton, refreshing a student let in Silverdale or restoring a period home in Wolstanton, the process is the same. We visit, listen to what you want, explain the options and costs honestly and give you a written quote. Once work starts, you deal with the same small team from the first day to the final tidy-up.
