Mickle Trafford Builders

Building across Chester and beyond

Mickle Trafford sits right on the edge of Chester, and that is exactly where we operate. We cover the CH2 postcode and the wider Cheshire area, taking on residential building work of all sizes. From the Rows in Chester city centre to the villages out past Helsby and the estates around Ellesmere Port, we know this patch well.

What we cover

We handle the full range of residential building work, including:

• Single and double storey rear extensions
• Side return extensions
• Wrap-around extensions
• Over-structure extensions built above garages or existing ground-floor additions
• Loft conversions, including dormer, hip-to-gable, and Velux styles
• Garage conversions to living space
• New builds from foundations up
• Structural alterations and internal reconfigurations
• Brickwork, blockwork, and external rendering
• Groundworks and drainage
• Plastering and general building maintenance

How we actually work

Every job starts with a proper site visit. No ballpark figures sent by text. When we quote, we quote on what we have actually seen.

When conditions turn up that others miss, we deal with them straight. On older Cheshire properties especially, we come across rising damp far more than you would expect. We carry out damp proofing properly, which often means injecting a chemical damp proof course into the mortar bed rather than just painting over the problem and hoping for the best.

Honestly, that is one of those jobs where cutting corners costs the homeowner twice in the long run.

Materials and standards

We work with facing brick, dense concrete block, cavity insulation systems, and sand and cement render. Every structural alteration we carry out goes through building control. That is not optional on our sites.

With careful planning, even a modest extension adds real value to a home. We have seen it repeatedly on properties across the Chester area.
