Salford at a glance
Homespace Improvements provides house extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms, renovations, kitchens and bathrooms to homeowners in Salford, bringing a property development background to residential projects rather than starting out as a single trade.
We're builders in the sense that we build - but the business was built from a property development background, not from a single trade scaling up. That's the difference between a contractor and the organisation, supply chain and project management behind a developer.
Local authority
Planning applications go through Salford City Council.
Housing character
A varied borough: dense terraced housing in the older inner areas, substantial new-build apartment development around MediaCityUK and the Quays, and more typical suburban semis further out.

Common questions
FAQs for Salford
Do I need planning permission in Salford?
Planning applications in Salford go through Salford City Council. Article 4 directions remove some permitted development rights on specific streets and in specific conservation areas - they vary within a borough, not across the whole of it. Always check your own property against your council's planning register before assuming what's allowed.
Do you work on Salford's older terraced housing as well as newer estates?
Yes - both. The right approach differs, so we assess the property type before quoting.
What council handles planning in Salford?
Salford City Council. Article 4 directions remove some permitted development rights on specific streets and in specific conservation areas - they vary within a borough, not across the whole of it. Always check your own property against your council's planning register before assuming what's allowed.
What areas do you cover?
We currently work across the North West.
How does Homespace Improvements differ from a typical builder?
The business was created from an existing property development background, so the trades, supplier relationships, construction experience and project management infrastructure already exist. That's what allows a project to be properly organised before it starts, rather than assembled on the fly.
How much does a home improvement project cost?
It depends entirely on the type and scale of project. We publish industry cost ranges with visible sources on our cost guides for extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms, garage and basement conversions, kitchens and bathrooms - a genuine starting point for budgeting, not a quote for your specific property.
Is it cheaper to extend or to move house?
It depends on your local property market, the size of the move you'd otherwise need to make, and moving costs (stamp duty, agent fees, legal fees) versus construction costs. Extending is often - though not always - the more cost-effective way to gain space if you're happy with your current location.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. Get in touch and tell us about your project - we'll talk through what's realistic for your property before any commitment is made. This is a conversation, not a formal quotation or set of technical drawings.
How do I get started?
Use our project finder or contact form to tell us what you're thinking, or try one of our free tools - the project matcher, the permitted development checker, the extension size visualiser or the cost calculator - to get a first steer before we talk.
