Make My Space – Design & Build Construction Company in Sale, Manchester

What We Do

Most construction projects split design, build, and interior work across separate companies, and every handover between them is where delays, miscommunication, and budget surprises creep in. Our design-build approach removes those gaps entirely. Based in Sale and working across the Trafford Borough and Greater Manchester, we handle the whole project – including planning applications and building control – so you don't have to manage a chain of contractors yourself.

• Home extensions, new builds, and full renovations
• Loft and garage conversions
• Interior design and fit-out
• Planning applications and building control, managed in-house
• Budget planning and mortgage advice from day one

Home Extensions, New Builds & Renovations in Sale and Trafford

Home extensions are the most common way Sale and Trafford homeowners add space and value without moving. Whether it's a single-storey rear extension to open up a kitchen, a double-storey addition, or a full home renovation, Make My Space manages the design, structural work, build, and finishing as one continuous process. Because the same team handles your home extension or new build from drawings to decoration, decisions made early – window positions, ceiling heights, structural openings – carry through to the finished result instead of being lost between contractors.

For larger projects, our full home renovation service reworks how an entire property functions, not just one room. We assess what's possible on your property and your budget before any commitment is made, so you start with a clear, realistic plan.

Loft Conversions and Garage Conversions in Greater Manchester

Loft and garage conversions are among the highest-value-per-pound ways to gain a bedroom, home office, gym, or utility room – using space your home already has. Most loft and garage conversions in Sale and Trafford fall within permitted development and don't require full planning permission, provided they meet the size, height, and boundary conditions. We assess this from the outset and tell you clearly what your specific property needs before work begins.

Every conversion is designed and built to full Building Regulations compliance, including structural calculations, insulation, and all inspections – so the finished space is properly certified, which matters at the point of sale or remortgage.

Interior Design and Fit-Out for Sale and Trafford Homeowners

Construction without considered interior design often produces spaces that function but don't feel right. Make My Space includes in-house interior design and fit-out, so your build doesn't end at plastered walls. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, joinery, and styling are all part of the service.

This matters most on full renovations, where structural decisions and interior choices are deeply connected. Having the design team involved from the planning stage – rather than retrofitted at the end – produces a more coherent, considered result.

Budget Planning and Mortgage Advice for Your Construction Project

Understanding the true cost of a project before work starts is one of the biggest pain points for homeowners. Make My Space includes budget planning as part of the service, helping you understand realistic cost ranges for extensions, conversions, and renovations early – before commitments are made.

For homeowners who need to fund their project, our team can also advise on mortgage and finance options relevant to home improvement work. This is unusual for a construction company, and it reflects a simple principle: financial clarity from day one prevents the mid-build surprises that cause projects to stall.

Planning Applications and Building Control in the Trafford Area

Planning applications for residential projects across the Trafford Borough – which covers Sale, Stretford, Altrincham, Urmston, and surrounding areas – follow Trafford Council's local plan and national permitted development guidelines. Make My Space manages the entire planning and building control process: drawings, application preparation, submission, and responses to any council queries or conditions.

Building Regulations approval is separate from planning permission and applies to most structural work regardless of permitted development status. We liaise directly with building control throughout, manage all inspections, and make sure your completion certificate is issued correctly.

Why Homeowners in Sale Choose a Design-Build Approach

The traditional construction process separates design, project management, and build into different contracts with different companies. Each handover point is an opportunity for miscommunication, scope creep, and delay. A design-build approach – where one team holds responsibility from concept to completion – removes those handover points.

Our 360° Process covers eight stages: Design & Planning, Planning Permission, Structural Engineering, Building Control Liaison, Full Build Management, Fit-Out & Styling, Quality Control, and Handover — every stage managed internally. For homeowners in Sale and Trafford who want to build without juggling multiple contractors, that's a fundamentally different experience.
