Everstone Build & Development builds house extensions, loft conversions and renovations in Cheadle Hulme, from 1930s semis to larger detached homes. The company is led by Dr Omid Khalaj, a Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE), so knock-throughs, steelwork and foundations are designed in-house. Omid has over 20 years of experience and manages every project from design to handover.
Homes in Cheadle Hulme
Much of Cheadle Hulme was built between the wars, and the 1930s semi-detached house with a bay window, hipped roof and long rear garden is the classic local home. There are also Victorian and Edwardian houses nearer the station, and post-war and later detached homes across the area.
The 1930s semi has a layout that families quickly outgrow: a separate front room, a narrow kitchen and a small third bedroom. The good news is that its structure and plot usually lend themselves to extending both back and up.
Typical projects
What works well in Cheadle Hulme?
Popular Cheadle Hulme projects include full-width rear extensions with a kitchen, dining and family area, removal of the wall between the front and back rooms, side extensions along the drive, and hip-to-gable loft conversions with a rear dormer to add a bedroom and shower room.
Opening up a 1930s ground floor almost always needs steel beams, and the chimney breast is often part of the question. We design the steel and supports ourselves, so you can have the open plan you want with a clear, costed structural solution.
Planning
Planning notes for Cheadle Hulme
Cheadle Hulme is in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, so planning decisions are made by Stockport Council. Many rear extensions and loft conversions on semis fall within permitted development, while side extensions and larger schemes often need planning permission.
On shared boundaries, most semis will need party wall notices for foundations or work to the party wall. We flag this early so notices can be served in good time.

FAQs
Building work in Cheadle Hulme: frequently asked questions
Can you knock through the ground floor of a 1930s semi in Cheadle Hulme?
Yes. Everstone removes internal walls in 1930s semis, with steel beams designed in-house by a Chartered Civil Engineer and approved by building control.
Will I need a party wall agreement for my Cheadle Hulme extension?
Most semi-detached houses in Cheadle Hulme need party wall notices when foundations are dug near the neighbour or work is done to the shared wall. Everstone identifies this at the feasibility stage.
Is a hip-to-gable loft conversion possible on a Cheadle Hulme semi?
A hip-to-gable loft conversion with a rear dormer is often possible on a hipped-roof semi and can add a bedroom and shower room. Everstone checks head height and structure before drawings.
Which council covers Cheadle Hulme?
Cheadle Hulme is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, and planning applications are decided by Stockport Council.
How long does a rear extension take in Cheadle Hulme?
A typical single-storey rear extension takes around 10 to 16 weeks on site, with the programme agreed with the homeowner before work begins.
Can I live in my Cheadle Hulme house during an extension?
Most Cheadle Hulme families stay at home during a rear extension, because the new structure is built outside first. There is usually a short spell without a working kitchen when the old rear wall is removed, which Everstone plans with you in advance.
