About KJL Builders
KJL Builders is a family-run building company based in Worsley, serving homeowners and property owners across Greater Manchester. Led by director Jake Hodson, we specialise in extensions, structural alterations, renovations and full property refurbishments.
From traditional Victorian terraces and red-brick semis through to modern detached homes, we handle every stage of the project — initial consultation, design support, construction, quality checks and aftercare. The approach is straightforward: transparent pricing, no hidden costs, high-quality workmanship and clear communication from start to finish.
What We Build
Six core services covering every stage of residential building work — from a single garden wall through to a full two-storey extension and structural rebuild.
Single & double-storey extensions, kitchen extensions and rear additions across Manchester.
Turn unused garage space into a functional new room — playroom, office, gym or extra bedroom.
Structural alterations, load-bearing wall removal and RSJ steel beam installations — fully signed off.
Full kitchen and bathroom refurbishments — from strip-out to fitted finish, all trades covered.
Skilled bricklaying for boundary walls, retaining walls, repointing, masonry repairs and lintel replacement.
Porches, general refurbishment and ongoing property maintenance for landlords and homeowners.

No half-finished projects, no missing tradesmen, no calls that go unanswered. Here's the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job.
Calls and messages get returned the same day, every day. No chasing, no being passed around — Jake or one of the team picks up. If we're on a roof or pouring concrete, you'll hear back inside the hour.
The quote you sign is the price you pay. We break down materials, labour and timelines clearly upfront — no surprise invoices halfway through the build, no padded change orders.
Far too many builders disappear once the deposit clears. We project-manage every job from initial survey to final clean — and we don't take on more work than we can properly deliver at any one time.
You'll deal with the same people from quote to handover. Jake runs the company, and the team that quotes your job is the team that turns up to build it. Real accountability, properly local.
Got a project in mind? We'll come out, take a look, and put together a proper written quote — no obligation, no hard sell.

Yes — every quote is free and no-obligation. We'll come out to your property, look at the job in person, talk through what you want to achieve, and put together a written quote with everything broken down clearly. No pressure, no hard sell.
We're based in Worsley (M28) and cover the wider Greater Manchester region — including Chorlton, Didsbury, Prestwich, Salford, Eccles, Swinton, Stretford, Sale, Urmston, Whitefield and the city centre. If you're outside these areas, give us a call — we'll let you know honestly whether we can help.
It depends on the size and type of extension. Many smaller extensions fall under permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission. We'll guide you through what's needed during the quoting process — and can recommend trusted architects and planners if your project requires drawings or a full application.
Yes — knock-throughs and load-bearing wall removals are one of our core services. We work with structural engineers to spec the correct steel beam (RSJ), install it safely, and ensure everything is signed off by Building Control. The finish is plastered and ready for decoration.
A single-storey rear extension typically takes 8–12 weeks from groundworks to completion, depending on size and finish. Double-storey extensions usually run 12–16 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your quote and keep you updated throughout the build.
We project-manage the entire build — bricklaying, structural work, plastering, plumbing, electrics, joinery and finishing. You deal with one team, one point of contact, one quote. No need to chase multiple trades or coordinate schedules yourself.
