Lime Property Group designs, plans and builds homes in Preston and across the North West. New build housing, extensions and full property development. All delivered by one trusted team you don’t have to chase.
From a single-storey rear extension to a multi-plot development, we run projects end-to-end with a select group of consultants and subcontractors we've worked with for years.
Conversions, refurbishments and new-builds for our own portfolio and developer partners, taken from acquisition through to completion. Assisted living and retail projects too.
Single & double-storey rear, side return, wrap-around. Structural alterations, internal remodelling and full refits.
Land appraisal, planning, build and sales-ready finish. Single homes through to small estates, with a 10-year structural warranty.
Architectural design, planning applications, cost planning and full tender packs delivered by our long-standing consultants.
Programme, budget, sub-trades and quality, managed from groundworks to snag list. You get one point of contact.
Every project we run, no matter how small, follows the same four stages. You always know where you are in the build.
Site visit or call. We talk about what you want to achieve, your budget bracket, and whether it's likely to need planning.
Drawings, planning where needed, cost plan and a full written quote. No grey areas, no hidden extras.
One project manager, our long-standing trades and weekly progress updates. We work clean and keep neighbours sweet.
Full snag walk, all certificates, warranty sign-off on new builds, and we're at the end of the phone long after you've moved in.

Lime Property Group has been building homes across Lancashire for over a decade. We’re based at our office on Chapel Lane in Longton. Small enough that the same people answer the phone, run the site and sign off the work.
Our setup is deliberate. A select group of architects, structural engineers, planners and subcontractors we’ve worked with for years. Same faces, every project. That’s why our finish is consistent and our programmes hold.
From our Longton base we cover the whole of Lancashire plus parts of Sefton and Greater Manchester. If your project sits outside this area, get in touch. We travel for the right job.
From single-storey rear extensions to multi-plot new builds, supported living and retail developments, the same things come up in every review: communication, finish, and they finished when they said they would.

“Have used the team on three development projects now. Costings come back tight, the build is good and the snag list at the end is short. That’s really all I need from a builder.”
A failing 2.5m retaining wall in Clayton-le-Woods that nobody else would take on. Structural repair, rebuild, and a garden back in use, with photos from the owners themselves.
When Michael and Heather Tadman bought their house in Clayton-le-Woods, they inherited a problem they didn’t know was coming. A 2.5m high retaining wall at the boundary was cracking and slowly moving, pushed out of line by the roots of a eucalyptus tree that had been taken out long before they moved in. The garden behind it was unusable, and the wall was at real risk of going into next door.
They lived with it for around five years. Builders who didn’t turn up, and on the rare occasion one did, no answer that was affordable, sensible and actually buildable. Then they rang us.
We brought in David Ormes at Partington and Associates Consulting Engineers in Chorley, and between us worked up a design to repair and rebuild the wall cost effectively, without tearing the whole site apart or causing the neighbouring properties more disruption than the job needed. Access was tight, so the dig went in with a micro digger and the spoil came out the same way.
Once the structure was signed off and back in, Ralph at Top Spec Landscaping finished it with new turf and Indian sandstone paving. This summer, for the first time since they moved in, Michael and Heather have a garden to be proud of and somewhere to sit out on a warm evening.
Every photo here is theirs, shared from their own social media posts.

Gill and Kevin have been thinking about this project for many years, and we are pleased to have been able to help them budget, design, plan and build it exactly as they wanted.
It is a small job, and one we should have started some months ago. After a holiday abroad, Kevin was taken seriously ill, and everything was rightly put on hold. Thankfully he has made a full recovery, and after some works to the existing part of the house, we have now started on the new build extension.
The extension gives the cottage almost 50% more living space: a new bedroom or snug under a vaulted ceiling, a shower room and a utility, built in facing brickwork with a slate roof to match the original house. Our groundworkers have started on the foundations and slab, and we hope to be finished on site in around ten weeks.
With the extension under way, Gill and Kevin already have their eyes on updating the kitchen and other rooms in the house next. We will share more photos as the build goes up.
Been thinking about an extension for years? Give us a call. We will help you work out the budget, get the design and planning sorted, and build it the way you want it.
