Sensitive renovations of period townhouses, contemporary rear extensions, kitchens and full refurbishments across Knutsford and the surrounding WA16 villages — Tatton, Mobberley, Over Peover and the wider Cheshire countryside.
Knutsford\'s housing stock runs from Georgian townhouses on the Heath and King Street, through Victorian semis off Northwich Road, to the scattered farmhouses and converted barns across the WA16 rural belt. What clients want tends to land in the same place: keep the character, add the space, and make the services and insulation work for the 2020s.
We\'re comfortable with the planning and conservation scrutiny that comes with working in central Knutsford, and we\'ve got a long history of sympathetic period renovations across Tatton, Over Peover and the surrounding villages.
Every service we offer, delivered across Knutsford and the WA16 area — period-sensitive renovations, rear extensions, loft conversions and new builds.

The questions we're asked most often by Knutsford homeowners.
Yes — much of central Knutsford falls within the conservation area, and we're experienced with the materials-matching and design-statement requirements that come with that. We'll coordinate with the Cheshire East conservation team throughout the planning submission.
Tatton, Mobberley, Over Peover, Plumley, Great Budworth, Mere, and the Toft and Bexton areas are all standard working territory for us. WA16 postcodes generally.
Yes — rear or side extensions on Knutsford's Georgian and Victorian townhouses are a regular project type. The constraints are usually access, neighbour boundaries and the party wall process, all of which we handle as part of the build package.
Yes — listed building consent applications (not just planning) are coordinated through our architectural partners, and we're comfortable specifying appropriate traditional materials and methods throughout the build.
Standard territory — we work across the rural Cheshire villages on listed barns, farmhouses, conversions and new-build replacement dwellings. Site conditions are often different to the town centre, but the process and standards are the same.
Most of our builds are booked in 8–16 weeks ahead. For a site visit and quote we aim within 1–2 weeks; to start on site, typically 3–4 months from a signed contract, depending on planning timelines if applicable.
