Understanding what you want
Some clients have scheme drawings produced before contacting their preferred Manchester building companies for quotations. First Choice Extensions are happy to work from client supplied drawings.
However, If no drawings are available, we can also discuss your ideas and offer our advice and guidance. Our experienced team can work with you to design and plan your home extension. Manchester-based clients we’ve worked with in the past have come to us at various stages of their journey, and we understand that extending your home is a very personal process. Whether you prefer us to work from your own pre-made designs, work with you to collaboratively design a blueprint, or take full ownership of the design and planning process, we will be able to assist.
Working together we will develop a scheme that meets you/your family’s needs and that will also comply with the requirements of the Local Authority.
Your wish list
Once you have approved the final size, design and layout of your home extension we can start to discuss all the specifications that will make the extension part of your home. Many clients see this as the most important aspect of the build and these personal additions will provide us with a full understanding of your project allowing for a fixed price quotation to be provided.
Who to choose?
Most clients arrange for three or four building companies to provide quotations for their projects. Three key factors that are always considered are the final quotation, the quality of the workmanship and the company’s reliability.
We have worked with thousands of clients around the North West region on home extensions -- including singley storey, double storey, multi-storey, rear and wrap-around extensions. To view some of our completed builds, look through our completed projects section.
At First Choice Extensions, we guarantee three things: time, cost and quality. We’ll guarantee a completion date based on all your circumstances and goals -- which we will stick to. We’ll also set a fixed rate fee, which won’t budge once you’ve instructed our services. As well as this, we offer quality guarantees, to ensure you are happy with the final completed extension, and that it matches up with your plans and specifications.

Home Extensions Manchester: A Complete Breakdown of Our Service
At First Choice Extensions, we pride ourselves on the fact that we are versatile and consistent in how we work with clients.
We understand that the needs of different clients are all different. Our Manchester home extensions service is comprehensive, and crafted around you and your requirements and circumstances.
STEP 1 - We assess your needs
First, our team works with you to assess your needs. We will discuss your requirements, time frame, budget and goals for the home extension, and either process your existing home plan or create one for you.
STEP 2 - We set a fixed price
We then set a fixed price for your home extension, which is included in your customer contract. This is completely transparent; there are no hidden costs. with your specifications. This contract includes a payment schedule and your preferred start date.
We understand that client specifications can change. To combat this, we use a contract variation form with which we can quickly increase or reduce the scope or requirements of the project at your request.
STEP 3 - We build your home extension
We will take full charge of your home extension build; we understand that your personal life and commitments should take priority, so we take care of all aspects of the build, so that your day to day routine can continue as normal, without disruption.
While your build is ongoing, we will communicate with the Building Control officer and labourers working on the extension to ensure compliance during each of the build phases. As well as this, we will also provide you with weekly progress reports and set aside time for pre-agreed on-site client/company meetings. In these, we’ll provide you with in-depth updates, make sure you’re happy, and ensure we are meeting targets.
THE FINAL FINISHES
Towards the final phases of the home extension, our Manchester-based team will initiate a closer working relationship, to keep on top of deadlines and your budget requirements. We may be responsible for the installation of finishing touches, such as kitchen white goods, bathroom suites, floor panels and wall tiles, if you have chosen to instruct us for this service. If this is the case, we will communicate with your suppliers to ensure the products are supplied on time to allow for continuity of work. Our experienced team will then install these, ensuring they comply with our time and quality guarantees.
COMPLETION AND GUARANTEES
On completion, our team provides you with all your relevant documentation from the local authority. All our extensions carry an insurance backed Ten-year guarantee with the Home Improvement Protection scheme. (http://www.hip.insure). This means you can have extra protection and peace of mind when choosing to instruct First Choice Extensions for your home extension in Manchester.
Committed to delivering you our promise
What our customer's say
From start to finish the service from First Choice Extensions has been excellent and really professional. We had a dormer loft conversion done in what was a smaller size loft. They helped us with drawings to maximise space and created a stunning spacious loft area with an en-suite bathroom. Any snags were quickly quickly rectified with no fuss. The build itself was made significantly less intrusive by the creative way they accessed the loft space via scaffolding for the majority of the works. We have no hesitation in recommending them.
I would recommend First Choice Extensions. We had, what turned out to be, a complicated renovation of our 1899 semi-detached house. The project was to create a utility room off the hallway into a reception room and to take out and replace the kitchen. We also had a new cylinder based boiler/heating system installed. The kitchen involved the removal of a chimney breast, the removal of the existing door and window and replaced with a bi-folding door. We also ended up having the floor taken out and replaced to ensure it was at the same level as the rest of the house. Underfloor heating was installed, new kitchen units from AS Kitchens and a feature brick slip wall. First Choice were able to meet all of the requirements and challenges discovered on the way. When we get around to it, we are hoping to use First Choice again for our loft conversion.
We have been delighted with the work from First Choice Extensions. There has been excellent communication and the team has cultivated a level of trust over the project that put us at ease. We particularly liked the transparency in the planning stage, where Tony gave us plenty of time to understand our designs and over the following weeks he was very patient, answering all our questions until we felt comfortable to commit. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured at any stage. During work the whole team was friendly and professional, they were also understanding of our son’s sensory needs and were thoughtful in letting us know when particularly noisy things were about to happen. They even brought him a pair of ear defenders which was a very nice touch. The work has been to a high standard and the team have been focused on making sure the final finish is excellent and that we are happy. When small issues have cropped up they have reassured us that everything will get sorted and they have delivered on that promise completely. We are grateful for the attention to detail and customer focus and we are really happy with our new family space. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
We chose First Choice as wanted our extension managed by just the one contact rather than us having to source lots of suppliers - it was important to us to have someone project manage the whole thing - both having busy jobs and working full time we didn’t have the time to arrange all the different elements that comes with having an extension. FCE provided lots of advice at quote stage and was prompt with the turnaround of quote and always on the other end of the phone before and all throughout the works taking place. We were happy with the price and knew we were in good hands. We now have the large kitchen and dining area we always wanted and are thrilled with the outcome; we love it! Thank you, First Choice Extensions.
Our build was finished on time (would had been early if it were not for Corona virus!), Very polite staff and nothing was a problem! I would highly recommend FCE and the team to anyone.
When we knew we wanted to have the work done (extension on the back of the house to open-up a larger Kitchen Diner), we did not really know where to start. We gave Tony a call on our friend’s recommendation, and I am glad we did! From start to finish, Tony and his team were brilliant. It is pretty daunting having building work done but First Choice Extensions made sure it was a smooth as it could be. Communication was first class; completions were on time and if there were ever any issues, they were always quick to respond and rectify. Using First Choice Extensions network, we were able to pretty much kit out the entire build and the team were always accommodating with other trades when on site. The attention to detail on finish is second to none! When it comes to after sales service, I have been blown away. Tony always picks up the phone, and no matter how big or small the issue, will be over to take a look. I can’t recommend these guys enough!
Further to my five star review of First Choice Extensions I would like to say how delighted we are with our new home. It has the real wow factor we were hoping for and we are so pleased we chose First Choice Extensions for our project. The renovation was delivered on time and within budget. The FCE team was very transparent with both costs and timescales and his communication was excellent. He was always at the end of the phone if we had a query and always came up with a solution for any problems we encountered.
We needed a single storey extension and were recommended First Choice Extensions by friends. They helped us with ideas prior to planning and the price was reasonable. The workforce were friendly, honest and easy to have around. We would certainly be happy to recommend the FCE team.
What we loved about First Choice Extensions was their transparency, they are very detailed in providing schedules of work, realistic time scales, and very well detailed costs. We are very happy with the finished work, our home is absolutely gorgeous, many thanks to the First Choice Extensions team.
Excellent work done by First Choice Extensions and the team. We ended up going for a loft conversion and an amazing job was done. Highly recommend FCE for their professionalism and help throughout the process.
As First Choice Extensions were very competitively priced and recommended by friends, I used them to do a loft conversion and re-modelling the downstairs of my bungalow. All works were completed to a high standard and on schedule. I would definitely recommend them.
Great service. I would highly recommend them and all ready have. First Choice are easy to contact and to talk to, friendly, extremely helpful, clean, tidy and efficient. Great service competitive cost.
One Word, Fantastic. Always there on time, work perfect, reliable. All the guys are friendly and helpful, pricing is competitive. Would definitely recommend them.
Really great service, price and workmanship. A pleasure to deal with.
So pleased we used them twice! First Choice Extensions designed and constructed our loft conversion and subsequently our kitchen extension. They were on time, on budget and we we're delighted with their work on both projects. FCE were responsive, personable and trustworthy.
Garden wall and gate. Came at short notice when I was let down by a 3rd party. Can’t recommend more highly.
