    Trusted Builders in Perton

    Perton's planned 1970s and 1980s estates have come of age — and many of its homes are ready for the extensions, garage conversions and modernisations that turn them into forever family homes.

    About the Area

    Local Building Experts Serving Perton

    Perton is a substantial planned community on the south-west edge of Wolverhampton, developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s on the site of a former RAF airfield. It's now home to thousands of families across well-defined estates like Pattingham Road, Lakeside, Anders Square and the Severn Drive area, with a busy local centre and excellent transport links.

    The housing stock here is overwhelmingly modern by Tettenhall standards — three- and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes from the late 1970s through to the 1990s, with integral or attached garages, cavity-wall construction, and generally compact original kitchens and bathrooms by today's standards. That makes Perton homes excellent candidates for the kind of work we do most: rear extensions, garage conversions, kitchen-diner remodels and loft conversions.

    Planning in Perton sits with South Staffordshire Council, and the good news is that most Perton extensions can proceed under permitted development rights, provided they stay within size and height limits. That speeds up the start date significantly and removes a lot of risk for homeowners. We assess your specific property at the first visit and tell you whether you need a planning application or just a Lawful Development Certificate.

    From a kitchen-diner extension on a 1980s Pattingham Road home to a full garage-and-loft conversion on a Lakeside semi, we deliver Perton projects on time, on budget, and with the kind of finish that genuinely adds value when you come to sell.

    Why Choose Us

    Why Perton Homeowners Choose Tettenhall Construction

    Permitted Development Expertise

    Most Perton extensions qualify under permitted development. We design to maximise what you can do without a full planning application — saving time and reducing risk.

    1970s & 1980s Construction Knowledge

    We understand the cavity-wall construction, lintel sizes and structural quirks of Perton-era housing — no nasty surprises mid-build.

    Garage Conversion Specialists

    Most Perton homes have an integral or attached garage that's underused. Converting it adds a high-quality bedroom, office or family room at much lower cost than a full extension.

    Local, Reachable, Responsive

    We're based locally, so site visits, snagging and follow-ups happen quickly. No driving in from miles away to look at a problem.

    Recent Work

    A Perton Project Snapshot

    A recent Perton project on a 1980s detached home near Lakeside combined two upgrades into a single coordinated build: a 5m single-storey rear extension to create an open-plan kitchen-diner-family room, and a full integral garage conversion to create a downstairs home office and utility. The original kitchen, dining room and garage were three small, separate rooms — the new layout reads as one connected ground floor with bi-fold doors onto the garden. Both elements were delivered under permitted development, meaning work started just six weeks after first contact and completed in eleven weeks on site.

    FAQ

    Perton Building Questions

    Many Perton extensions fall within permitted development limits, so a full planning application isn't needed — though we usually recommend a Lawful Development Certificate to confirm it formally for your records and any future sale. We tell you which route applies at the first visit.
