Builders in Salford

Renovat Construction delivers building and refurbishment projects across Salford for homeowners, landlords, and property investors. Salford sits directly alongside Manchester city centre and has seen significant investment over the past decade, driven by MediaCityUK and the regeneration of Salford Quays, Chapel Street, and Greengate. From Victorian terraces in Seedley and Langworthy to Edwardian semis in Eccles and Monton, 1930s housing in Swinton and Pendlebury, and modern apartments around MediaCityUK, we work across every property type Salford has to offer.

Every project is managed by our PMP certified, RICS accredited project management team. One point of contact, one team, and full accountability from first survey to final handover.

Construction and Renovation Services in Salford

Full house renovations. Complete strip out and rebuild of the interior including rewiring, replumbing, new heating, plastering, kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and decoration. Salford's older housing stock across Irlams o' th' Height, Pendleton, and Lower Broughton includes properties that have been rental investments for years without significant maintenance. A full renovation transforms these into high performing rental assets or desirable family homes.

House extensions. Rear and side extensions to add living space. The terraced and semi detached streets of Eccles, Swinton, and Walkden are popular for rear extensions creating open plan kitchen diners. Many properties in these areas have generous rear gardens making a 4 to 6 metre extension straightforward under permitted development.

Loft conversions. The 1930s semis across Swinton, Pendlebury, and Worsley have hipped roofs ideal for hip to gable with rear dormer conversions. This adds a full bedroom and ensuite without changing the footprint of the property and can often be completed under permitted development rights.

Kitchen and bathroom renovations. Single room upgrades through to multi room refits. Salford's buy to let market is strong and many landlords invest in kitchen and bathroom upgrades to achieve higher rental values, particularly near MediaCityUK and the University of Salford where tenant expectations are rising year on year.

HMO conversions. Salford has one of the strongest HMO markets in Greater Manchester driven by the University of Salford, MediaCityUK, and proximity to Manchester city centre. Salford Council has Article 4 restrictions in many areas, particularly around the university campus and Salford Crescent, meaning planning permission is required for new HMO conversions. We manage the full process from planning through to Building Regulations sign off and licensing compliance.

Garage and cellar conversions. Many properties across Eccles, Swinton, and Worsley have integral or detached garages suitable for conversion. Older terraces in Seedley, Langworthy, and Weaste commonly have cellars that can be converted into usable living space with proper waterproofing and ventilation.

New builds, painting, decorating, and landscaping. From single plot self builds on infill sites to full external decoration, garden design, fencing, driveways, and paving.

Property Types Across Salford

Victorian terraces (1860 to 1910). Found across Seedley, Langworthy, Weaste, Lower Broughton, and Pendleton. Solid brick construction, slate roofs, cellars, and original timber floors. Built to house workers in Salford's docks and textile mills. Common issues include rising damp (particularly in streets close to the River Irwell where the water table sits high), outdated wiring, lead pipework, and single glazed sash windows. These are among the most affordable properties in Greater Manchester and offer strong returns for investors willing to renovate properly.

Edwardian and inter war semis (1900 to 1939). Found across Eccles, Monton, Swinton, Pendlebury, and Worsley. Larger room sizes, bay windows, front and rear gardens, and many with garages. Worsley and Monton are sought after residential areas with property values significantly above the Salford average. Common renovation projects include loft conversions, rear extensions, and full internal modernisation. Bay window movement and failed render are common issues in Edwardian properties here due to the soft ground conditions near the Bridgewater Canal corridor.

Post war housing (1945 to 1970). Found across Little Hulton, Walkden, and parts of Eccles. Mix of council built semis and terraces. Some non traditional concrete panel builds in these areas may have mortgage lending restrictions. Standard masonry properties respond well to renovation and offer good value for first time buyers and investors looking for affordable entry points into the Salford market.

Modern apartments (2010 to present). Concentrated around MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Chapel Street, Greengate, and the Crescent. Purpose built for the rental and young professional market. Generally in good structural condition but may benefit from kitchen and bathroom upgrades to maintain rental competitiveness as newer developments come to market nearby.

Why Salford Works for Renovation and Investment

Salford combines affordable property prices with strong rental demand and rising capital values. The regeneration around MediaCityUK has transformed the western bank of the Irwell into one of Greater Manchester's most desirable locations. Many residential streets just 10 to 15 minutes walk from these developments contain unrenovated properties at a fraction of the price.

For landlords and investors, a terraced house in Seedley or Langworthy purchased for £120,000 to £150,000 and renovated to a good standard achieves monthly rents of £800 to £1,000 for a single let or significantly more as an HMO. The University of Salford provides a consistent tenant pipeline for properties within walking distance of the campus.

For homeowners, the established suburbs of Eccles, Monton, Swinton, and Worsley offer period properties with character and space at prices below comparable areas in South Manchester. Renovating rather than buying a finished property gives you the home you want at a lower total cost.
