Home Extension Heaton Moor by Dolan Developments | Full Roof Rebuild and Extension Project

Transforming a Home in Heaton Moor: A Major Home Extension and New Roof Installation… If you are researching a home extension in Heaton Moor and wondering what the process looks like, our latest project offers a clear view of the craftsmanship and structural work involved. This build is a full extension paired with a complete new roof structure, carried out by our qualified team at Dolan Developments.

From opening up the existing property to constructing a new timber roof frame, the project showcases the level of detail, planning and skill required to deliver a high quality home extension in Heaton Moor and the surrounding South Manchester areas.

Building the new roof structure

A key stage of this Heaton Moor home extension is the full replacement of the original roof. Once the scaffolding was erected and safety measures were in place, our joiners began installing a completely new timber roof frame. This structure will support the extended upper floor and improve the overall strength and performance of the property.

Every element has been cut and fitted on site by our City and Guilds qualified joiners, ensuring the build meets both structural requirements and the character of typical Heaton Moor properties.

Extending the home for better space and layout

This home extension in Heaton Moor includes a full rebuild of the external walls to create a larger internal footprint. Matching the brickwork and tying new structures into the original home is an essential part of maintaining the look and feel that residents in the area value. Once complete, the extension will provide significantly more living space and a layout that works for modern family life.

Why homeowners in Heaton Moor choose extensions

Many Heaton Moor homeowners decide to extend rather than move, particularly where loft space, side returns or generous gardens allow for meaningful expansion. A well planned home extension can:

Create larger open plan kitchen and dining areas
Add extra bedrooms or bathrooms
Improve energy efficiency
Increase property value
Future proof the home for growing families

This project is a strong example of how thoughtful design and expert construction can completely transform how a property functions.

Safe, efficient construction from start to finish

With scaffolding providing full access around the property, the build is progressing smoothly and safely. Our team works across joinery, brickwork and roof installation, coordinating each phase to reduce disruption for the homeowners and their neighbours. When you choose Dolan Developments for a home extension in Heaton Moor, you get a team that prioritises structure, accuracy and a high standard of finish.

As the roof frame is now installed, the next stages include tiling, insulation, internal framing and preparing the extension for first fix joinery and electrics. Each step brings the home closer to its final shape, with more updates to follow as the project develops.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Matthew to install a media wall in the nail area of my salon, and I am beyond impressed with his work! From start to finish, Matthew was professional, knowledgeable, and truly understood my vision. He took the time to discuss ideas, offered creative suggestions, and brought everything to life seamlessly. I would highly recommend Matthew and his team !

Matt and the team at Dolan developments really are a credit to the building trade. They made my Dorma installation seem like a walk in the park. Matt was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and his lads were always polite and well mannered. Communication was great throughout and no question went unanswered (I’m actually very fussy). The work was carried out to a very high standard and my property was treated with respect at all stages of the build. I obtained 4 quotes prior to instructing Dolan Developments and in my opinion they was fairly priced. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company Thank you for making what could of been a stressful time an absolute pleasure

Aaron Hamnett

Brilliant service. We had a relatively small job to get done in our house and Matt was great from the start. Really communicative and made it clear how it would all work. The work was all done on time and they made a good effort to keep things as clean as possible which was really appreciated. We spotted a minor issue about a week later and Matt came straight back to sort it. Would definitely use Dolan's again.

Sorcha Gilroy

We recently had an extension and full refurb through out the house, I cant thank Matthew and the team enough. We were dreadding having work done and young kids living in the house but the job was managed and organised to perfection. We used the design and built option so were all in and from start to finish they were amazing, informative, full or ideas, ways to cut costs and just a complete breath of fresh air as we had no worries or concerns. The work itself was completed on budget and a week earlier that programmed which was appreciated greatly just before Christmas time. The quality of workmanship is brilliant ive had no issues what so ever. We are hoping to start a dorma in a few years time and will be certainly giving the dolan development team the call when we are ready.

Dolan Development recently completed a full house renovation, including a rear kitchen extension. From start to finish, Matthew was incredibly professional and provided valuable assistance throughout the entire process. As this was my first project, I was unsure where to begin. After meeting with Matthew and sharing my vision, the architect created the drawings, and the project was underway. Matthew and his team maintained a high level of professionalism and transparency throughout the project. Any questions I had were promptly addressed, and any changes to the plan were smoothly implemented. I truly appreciate how well-run the project was, with regular updates on progress and adherence to timelines. Not only was the entire process stress-free, but the results speak for themselves – the house looks amazing. I am extremely satisfied with the work. i highly recommend the team at Dolan development Thank you to Every one involved at dolan development!!.

Richard Foster

We had a fantastic experience with Dolan Developments who built our double storey side extension. Every trade we encountered was skilled, professional, and treated our property with respect. The quality of workmanship was outstanding. Matt was always responsive to any queries we had and more than happy to meet with us at short notice to discuss with us on site. His commitment made the process smooth and stress free. They were honest throughout the project and delivered on programme, which was very reassuring. We’re absolutely delighted with the final result and would definitely recommend Dolan Developments to anyone looking for a reliable and professional builder. Thanks again to Matt and the whole team!
