Thinking about an extension… but still working out if it’s the right move?
For a lot of couples, the hardest part isn’t the building work —
it’s agreeing on whether it’s affordable, what’s realistic, and where to even start.
Before architects, before builders, before big commitments, it helps to have a clear, neutral view of the costs.
We’ve created an independent extension cost guide and calculator designed for homeowners who just want answers early on, without pressure.
It helps you understand:
• Rough costs per m² for extensions in Bolton / Greater Manchester
• How choices like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and finishes affect the budget
• The difference between a “basic” build and something more aspirational
• What’s realistic — and what might be a stretch
It’s not a quote and it’s not a sales pitch.
It’s simply a way to sit down together and say “OK… this is roughly what we’re talking about.”
Ideal if you’re:
✔ In the “what if we did this?” stage
✔ Trying to align expectations
✔ Not ready to involve builders yet
✔ Wanting clarity before emotions (or Pinterest) take over
Most people use it to:
• Decide whether to proceed at all
• Shape sensible design conversations
• Avoid awkward or unrealistic quotes later
If you’re at the kitchen table stage — tea in hand, ideas on the go — this is designed for you.

No pressure. No jargon. Just a clearer starting point.
