HOW WIGAN BUILDS

Every corner of the borough asks for something slightly different

NORTH · STANDISH & ASPULL

New Builds

Larger plots and more room to extend outward — where most of our ground-up enquiries come from.

NORTH-EAST · SHEVINGTON

Kitchen & Bathroom

Older layouts due a full refit, usually alongside a wider renovation.

WEST · ORRELL & PEMBERTON

Garage Conversions

Integral garages that rarely house a car — converted into offices and playrooms.

THE USUAL WORRY

Quotes that creep up once the work has started.
Left chasing planning permission and building control yourself.
Different trades in and out, nobody quite in charge.
A site left messy overnight, or over the weekend.
No idea when it will actually be finished.

Makerfield did a fantastic job transforming our kitchen and bathroom at our home in Wigan. From removing the old fittings to the new installation and finishing touches, everything was handled professionally from start to finish. The team were tidy, dependable and paid great attention to detail.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions.

Do you need planning permission for an extension in Wigan?

Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but this depends on your property, its history and the size of the extension. We check this for you as part of the quote and handle the Wigan Council application if one is needed.

How long does a garage conversion take in Wigan?

Most garage conversions we complete in Wigan take 3–5 weeks from start to finish, depending on whether plumbing or heating extensions are involved.

Which parts of Wigan do you cover?

We work right across Wigan and the surrounding areas, including Standish, Orrell, Aspull, Pemberton, Beech Hill and Ashton-in-Makerfield, as well as neighbouring towns like Leigh and Hindley.

Yes, we carry full public liability insurance and all work is signed off through building control where required.
