Homes in Stockport
Stockport has one of the most varied housing stocks in the area. Around the town centre and Edgeley there are Victorian terraces, the Heatons have substantial Edwardian semis and villas, and areas such as Davenport, Offerton and Great Moor have large numbers of interwar and post-war semis.
The town sits on the steep valleys of the Mersey, Goyt and Tame, so many streets are sloping and some houses have split levels or deep cellars. That shapes how extensions are founded and how drainage is routed.
Typical projects
What works well in Stockport?
Loft conversions on terraces and semis, rear extensions with knock-throughs, and full renovations of Edwardian houses in the Heatons are common Stockport projects. We also carry out structural repairs and alterations, and commercial refurbishment work for local businesses and landlords.
Sloping plots and older retaining walls need more than a standard detail. Our director's ground engineering background helps here, from foundation design to retaining structures at the back of a stepped garden.
In the Heatons, larger Edwardian houses often need a full renovation: new wiring and plumbing, heating upgrades, repairs to old timber floors and a better connection between the kitchen and garden. We plan these as one programme.
Planning
Planning notes for Stockport
Planning applications in Stockport are decided by Stockport Council. The borough has a number of conservation areas, including parts of Heaton Moor, where extensions and roof alterations need more careful design and often planning permission.
Elsewhere, many rear extensions and loft conversions can use permitted development or prior approval. We confirm the right route, and any party wall requirements, during the feasibility check.

FAQs
Building work in Stockport: frequently asked questions
Do you build extensions in the Heatons?
Yes. Everstone builds extensions, loft conversions and renovations in Heaton Moor, Heaton Chapel, Heaton Mersey and Heaton Norris, as well as across the rest of Stockport.
Which council handles planning in Stockport?
Planning applications across the borough, including Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme, are decided by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.
Can you build on a sloping garden in Stockport?
Yes. Sloping gardens often need stepped or deeper foundations and sometimes retaining walls, which Everstone's Chartered Engineer director designs in-house.
Do you do commercial building work in Stockport?
Yes. Everstone carries out commercial refurbishments, structural alterations and fit-outs in Stockport as well as residential projects.
How much does an extension cost in Stockport?
As a guide, single-storey extensions in Stockport typically start from around £2,000 to £2,800 per square metre plus VAT for the build, before kitchens and finishes.
Do I need a party wall agreement for a Stockport terrace?
Extensions and loft conversions on Stockport terraces and semis usually need party wall notices to the neighbours, because foundations or steel beams affect the shared walls. Everstone flags this at the first visit.
