The Eccleshill brief
For an extension to an Eccleshill or Bolton property, examine the existing rear wall and the available route into the garden before settling the new layout. A stone wall, an earlier addition and a stepped yard create different questions from a clear modern plot, even within the same postcode.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
BD2 / 01
Record the existing wall in detail
Bring to the conversationRear elevation photographs and any drawings for previous alterations.
Why this matters
Photograph the stone, openings and roof junctions and decide what will be retained. Ask for a clear specification for the new opening and the visible old-to-new connection before comparing quotations.
BD2 / 02
Test access at each stage
Bring to the conversationAn access sketch with widths, steps and temporary storage positions.
Why this matters
Measure the narrowest point between the street and the work area. Consider what happens when excavation, materials and new walls occupy the same route, including how the household reaches the garden.
The address matters
