Bridge Trafford Builders

The ground stays wet round here

Cheshire clay holds moisture. It shifts, it swells, and if your foundations are not right, you will know about it come winter. We have been building in this area long enough to understand what the ground does and how to work with it properly.

Bridge Trafford Builders handles the full scope of residential building work, from breaking ground on a new build to finishing the last coat of render on a renovation. We do not cut corners on prep. The structure underneath has to be right before anything else matters.

Extensions, from the ground up

People often ask what type of extension is actually available to them. There are more options than most realise.

• Single-storey rear extension
• Single-storey side extension
• Double-storey extension
• Side return extension
• Wrap-around extension (combining rear and side)
• Over-structure extension, built above an existing garage or outbuilding
• Infill extension
• Basement conversion or dig-down extension
• Modular or prefabricated extension

We have done most of these across CH1 and the surrounding villages. Each one starts the same way, with a proper look at the ground conditions and what the existing structure can carry.

Loft and garage work

Loft conversions get talked about a lot. Garage conversions less so, but they can be just as useful. We recently finished a new garage build out near Mickle Trafford for a customer who needed the existing one converted for living space. Straightforward enough job once the drainage was sorted.

Structural and general work

We handle brickwork, blockwork, plastering, rendering, and structural alterations. It is not glamorous. It holds buildings together, which matters more.

(We cover Chester, Ellesmere Port, and out towards Tarporley, so distance is rarely an issue.)

However rough the weather or tight the site, we get the work done without fuss or drama.
