Building renovations and extensions in Alderley Edge
Chartered Civil Engineer-led extensions, conversions and renovations, around 2 miles from our Wilmslow base.
Everstone Build & Development designs and builds extensions, renovations and structural alterations for homes in Alderley Edge. Every project is led by Dr Omid Khalaj, a Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE) with over 20 years of experience, which matters on the village's larger period houses where structure, planning and finish all need care.
Homes in Alderley Edge
Alderley Edge grew after the railway arrived in the 1840s, when Manchester merchants built large villas on the slopes below the Edge. Many of those Victorian houses survive, alongside Edwardian homes, interwar detached houses and more recent contemporary rebuilds on large plots.
Houses here are often substantial, with high ceilings, solid walls and older extensions of varying quality. Period details such as sandstone, decorative brickwork and original joinery are part of the value, so new work has to respect them.
Typical projects
What works well in Alderley Edge?
Typical Alderley Edge projects include rear and side extensions that open a period house onto the garden, reconfigured ground floors with new steelwork, and full refurbishments that bring services up to date without losing character. On larger plots, double-storey and wraparound extensions are common.
Because many homes are large and older, the structural questions are bigger: long spans for glazing, removing chimney breasts, or strengthening old timber floors. Having the engineer running the build means those decisions are made early and priced accurately.
Many owners also want to improve energy performance without spoiling the look of the house, for example with better insulation to extensions and loft spaces and upgraded heating. We build that into the scope rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Planning
Planning notes for Alderley Edge
Alderley Edge is in Cheshire East. A large part of the village is a conservation area, which reduces permitted development rights and means materials, roof forms and anything visible from the street are judged more carefully. Some buildings are also listed.
Beyond the village, much of the surrounding countryside is Green Belt. We look at designations, trees and neighbouring properties before design so the application has a realistic chance of approval.

FAQs
Building work in Alderley Edge: frequently asked questions
Can I extend a house in the Alderley Edge conservation area?
Yes, but extensions in the Alderley Edge conservation area usually need planning permission and a design that respects the character of the house and street. Everstone checks the constraints before any drawings are commissioned.
Do you work on Victorian houses in Alderley Edge?
Yes. Everstone renovates and extends Victorian and Edwardian houses in Alderley Edge, including structural work to old walls, floors and chimney breasts designed by a Chartered Civil Engineer.
Who handles planning applications in Alderley Edge?
Planning applications in Alderley Edge are decided by Cheshire East Council.
How far is Alderley Edge from Everstone's working area?
Alderley Edge sits at the heart of the South Manchester and Cheshire area Everstone covers, about two miles from Wilmslow.
Can you create large glazed openings in an older house?
Large glazed openings in older houses are possible with properly designed steel beams and supports. Everstone designs these in-house, which allows wider openings with fewer visible posts.
Do you replace old services in period houses in Alderley Edge?
Yes. Full renovations in Alderley Edge often include rewiring, replumbing and new heating, planned alongside the structural work so that walls and floors are only opened up once.
