The semis around Crossgates share a layout that suits two extensions particularly well: a single-storey rear to open up the kitchen, and a side extension using the strip down the side that is currently doing nothing but holding bins. Done together as a wraparound they change how the whole ground floor works. CLM Projects handles drawings, planning support, groundworks, steels, brickwork matched to the original, roofing, glazing and finish through to Building Regulations sign-off.

Local Knowledge
Working in Crossgates
Ground & Access
Long-established streets, so what is under a driveway or garden is usually decades of previous work rather than virgin ground — old concrete, a tired base, sometimes more than one layer of it. We dig out and see what is actually there before pricing the build-up.
Local Housing
Largely interwar and post-war housing — a lot of semis with a strip down the side and a garden at the back, plus later infill.
Planning & Permits
Standard driveway and garden work rarely needs permission, but a dropped kerb onto a busier road does. We check what applies to your address at quote stage and handle the application if it is needed.
Coverage
Crossgates is a few minutes from our base on the east side of Leeds — close enough that travel never eats into the working day.

FAQs
Building in Crossgates — Your Questions
What extensions suit a Crossgates semi?
The two that come up most are a single-storey rear extension to open up the kitchen, and a side extension using the strip down the side that is otherwise doing nothing. On a house of this layout the side return is often the most wasted space on the plot, and turning it into real floor area changes how the ground floor works.
Can I do a wraparound on a house like this?
Often yes, and it is usually the biggest gain a single storey can give — the rear and the side built as one L-shaped space. It needs more steel and more roof than a straight rear extension, and permitted development treats the side more strictly, so we confirm the position before drawings rather than after.
Will the new brickwork match?
That is the detail that decides whether an extension looks right, especially a side one in full view from the street. We match brick, bond and mortar as closely as the original allows and tell you honestly where an exact match is not achievable — brick weathered over eighty years rarely has a modern equivalent.
Can we stay in the house during the build?
In most cases yes. Losing the kitchen for a period is usually the main disruption on a rear extension. We plan the works to keep the rest of the house usable, and being minutes from base means the team is here every working day rather than in bursts.
