Semis, extensions and loft conversions in Ashton
In the Census area round Ashton-in-Makerfield South, 43.0% of households live in a semi and 23.5% in a detached house; only 3.5% live in a flat. The houses are mostly post-war: 34.2% of homes with a recorded build date went up between 1973 and 1999 and 24.2% between 1945 and 1972.
Extending a house like these goes through building control, and Wigan Council runs its own. From 1 April 2026 its charge for a single-storey extension of 10 to 40 m² is £445 to check the plans plus £535 for the inspections, and a loft conversion with a dormer is £505 plus £600. Once the trades have gone, the dust from knocking through to the extension is usually all over the ground floor, and loft dust comes down the stairs into every bedroom. The crew starts in the loft, works down and dusts the stairs twice. Getting plaster dust out of a home describes the order.
Gerard Street and the conservation area
The Ashton-in-Makerfield conservation area covers 7.32 hectares of the town centre along Gerard Street, the curving high street named after the family who were lords of the manor. The council's appraisal dates most of its buildings from about 1850 to the First World War; in the 18th century the town's blacksmiths were known for hinges, nails, files and door handles. The side streets are red-brick terraces under slate, some pebbledashed or mock-Tudor round St Thomas's church. Cromptons' factory on Gerard Street closed in the 1960s and became the Gerard Shopping Centre.
The Our Future Ashton programme, £6.6 million of government money, is turning the old market site into a public square and improving Gerard Street and Garswood Street, with works scheduled from February 2026 and 12 properties in the first round of shopfront grants. A shop after a refit needs the same dust clean as a house, plus the glass, display fittings and the stockroom: see cleaning a fit-out before opening.
What happens to the builder's waste in Ashton
Wigan's waste and recycling centres take a resident's own rubble and plasterboard, but they refuse trade waste, and the council counts waste from traders, landlords and property developers as trade waste. The bulky collection will not take kitchen units, worktops, bathroom suites, doors, window frames or wood flooring either. So the builder or a licensed waste carrier clears the old kitchen, the offcuts and the packaging before the clean. The crew needs the rooms clear, the water, power and lights on, and a space on the drive.
Builders clean prices for an Ashton house
A 3-bed semi after an extension or a loft conversion usually takes 2 cleaners for 5 hours: £332 all in. A 4-bed detached house after a refurbishment takes 3 cleaners for 4 hours, £392, and a 3-bed semi after just a repaint or new flooring is lighter, 2 cleaners for 4 hours for £272. Each extra bathroom adds roughly an hour and a half. All of it is £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents, and what a builders clean costs has the add-ons.
Council fees for Wigan are on the borough page. Golborne to the east is in the same borough; to the south, Haydock (WA11) and Newton-le-Willows are under St Helens Council, with its own tips and skip licences.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can you clean straight after a loft conversion?
Yes, once the trades have finished and taken their tools and rubbish. The crew works from the loft down, so the stairs and landing are cleaned last.

Yes. Shops are priced the same way, per cleaner-hour plus £32; a small unit usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in.
How much notice do you need in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
About a week is usually enough. Fridays and weekends book up first, so send the builder's finish date early.
Is the carpet cleaned as part of the builders clean?
Carpets are vacuumed. If dust has worked into the pile, carpet cleaning is an extra, from £36 a bedroom.
