North Leeds continues to be a highly desirable location, blending the charm of established neighbourhoods with the convenience of city connections.
Well-regarded areas like Adel, Alwoodley, Bardsey, and Bramhope are known for their spacious properties, excellent schools, and strong sense of community — making them ideal settings for thoughtful, well-executed home extensions.
Whether you're looking to add extra space for a growing family or reconfigure your layout to better suit your lifestyle, extending your home in North Leeds is a smart investment in both comfort and value.
Extending your home is one of the most effective ways to enhance your living space, increase property value, and create a layout that works perfectly for your lifestyle. At Andrews Construction, we specialise in designing and delivering high-quality home extensions across North Leeds and beyond. With a reputation built on craftsmanship, transparency, and outstanding service, we’re the trusted choice for homeowners looking to transform their space without the stress.
Whether you have detailed architectural drawings or just a vision for how you'd like your home to evolve, we work with you from concept to completion — managing every stage from initial planning and building regulations to structural work, finishes, and final sign-off. Our experienced team brings local insight and decades of building expertise to every project, ensuring your extension is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.
We start by reviewing your plans and ensuring all necessary permissions are in place—this could include planning permission or permitted development approval. We’ll also agree on key design details and structural specifications. If you haven’t already appointed an architect, we can recommend trusted professionals we work with regularly.
Once ready, we prepare the site by carrying out excavation, setting foundations, and connecting essential services like drainage. This early phase sets the groundwork for a solid and long-lasting structure.
We then construct the walls, roof, and openings to form the new space. Whether we’re matching the existing building or going for a more modern contrast, we ensure materials and craftsmanship are aligned with your vision and planning conditions.
At this point, we move inside to install electrics, plumbing, and insulation. Walls are boarded, and spaces start to take shape. We also liaise with suppliers for key elements like windows, glazing, and doors.
We complete internal finishes including plastering, painting, flooring, joinery, and installation of fixtures and fittings. We carry out a thorough snagging process to ensure everything is finished to the highest standard before we hand over your beautiful new space.
In many cases, small extensions fall under 'permitted development' rights, meaning you won't need formal planning permission. However, larger extensions, or those on designated land, may require approval from Leeds City Council. It's essential to check specific regulations and consult with professionals to ensure compliance.
Yes, a well-designed and executed home extension can increase your property's value. In Leeds, extensions have been shown to add significant value, depending on the type and quality of the extension. However, the exact increase varies, so it's recommended to consult with local estate agents or property experts for specific insights.
The duration of a home extension project depends on its complexity and size. Typically, a single-storey extension with a kitchen and internal alterations can take 8–16 weeks to complete. Factors like plumbing, electrical installations, and bespoke cabinetry can influence the timeline.
We only work with customers who have employed an Architect - the success of your project relies heavily on the planning stage. Please read Why Detailed Plans Are Essential for Your Construction Project
We handle Building Control inspections on your behalf with either Leeds Building Control or Enevo or alternative (as specified at the beginning of the project). You are responsible for applying for Building Control and ensuring that you have the correct plans in place which are required for this application. You need to confirm that you have sign off from your Principal Designer when the project is completed (this will be your designer/architect – we do not complete this and are not authorised to complete any design work for you). Your Principal Designer will advise you on the Building Control notice you should apply for.
Inspections take place at key stages:
At Andrews Construction, every project we deliver, whether it’s an extension, full renovation, or new build, it is led by a dedicated Project Manager. This is not an optional extra. It’s a core part of how we protect your budget, your timeline, and the quality of your build.
High-end projects don’t run themselves. They succeed because they’re professionally managed from start to finish.
1. Plans the entire build from day one
Your PM develops a detailed schedule, orders long-lead materials, coordinates trades, and ensures everything is on site exactly when it needs to be.
Good planning saves weeks — and thousands of pounds in delays.
2. Keeps the build on budget
They track labour, materials, variations, and allowances daily.
Small issues caught early prevent costly overruns later.
3. Manages every trade and specialist
A typical extension involves 15–25 different subcontractors.
Your PM ensures each one delivers to the right standard, in the right order, with no clashes or downtime.
4. Handles quality control & Building Regulations
From structural inspections to fire safety, insulation levels and finishing details — your PM ensures everything is built correctly and signed off.
5. Communicates with you clearly and consistently
With weekly updates, site meetings, and full transparency, you always know what’s happening and what’s coming next.
This stops surprises and gives you complete peace of mind.
6. Protects your home and your investment
A well-managed site is safer, cleaner, more efficient, and far less stressful.
It also means you get a better finish — and more value from your build.
