Renovation Company Alwoodley
Specialist renovation, extension and joinery work for Alwoodley homes. MCR Joinery helps owners of detached and semi-detached houses in north Leeds add space, modernise kitchens and bathrooms and make better use of the roof, with a free home consultation and a clear itemised quote.
Alwoodley is a leafy, mainly residential part of north Leeds, and a lot of its housing was built between the 1930s and the 1960s. Detached and semi-detached houses on generous plots are typical, often with garages, long gardens and plenty of room to grow. That makes the area a good fit for extensions: side extensions that take over a garage footprint, wrap-around single-storey extensions, and two-storey additions that create a new bedroom and en-suite above a larger kitchen.
Many Alwoodley homes have changed little inside since they were built, so owners commonly ask us for a complete re-plan of the ground floor. Walls come out, a new structural opening goes in, and a new kitchen and dining space is created with bifold or sliding doors to the garden. In the roof, hipped and gabled roofs lend themselves to dormer conversions of the kind covered in our guide to loft conversions in Leeds.
The joinery is a good place to add value. A fitted wardrobe system in a main bedroom, a media wall in the lounge, a new staircase and balustrade, or hardwood internal doors will all make a house feel individual rather than standard. Have a look at our services page for the full list, or read the renovation cost guide to start budgeting.

Our qualified project manager will visit your Alwoodley property to carry out a thorough assessment and take all necessary measurements. We'll discuss the best approach for your extension or renovation, advise on planning permission requirements where relevant, and provide a detailed, itemised quotation tailored to your home and budget.
Once you've approved your quote and chosen your preferred finishes and materials, our experienced building and joinery team will get to work. We manage the full process from groundworks through to the finishing touches, keeping you informed at every stage and ensuring a clean, tidy site throughout.
Inter-war and post-war houses were built with their own construction methods, and we plan around them. Cavity brick walls, concrete or clay tile roofs and timber trusses (or, in some older examples, cut roofs) all need different details when you open up a wall or add a dormer. Our assessment looks at the structure first, so that the design is based on what is actually there.
Plots in Alwoodley are often large enough to allow a side or rear extension without making the garden feel cramped, but it is still worth thinking about drainage runs, manholes and boundary distances before a design is finalised. We deal with those checks as part of the quotation and, where it is needed, the planning or building regulations submission.
If you are planning to stay in the property for years to come, it is also worth thinking about energy performance. New extensions are built to current insulation standards, and replacing old single-glazed or poorly sealed windows and doors at the same time can make the whole house more comfortable.
Often, yes. Garage conversions or side extensions are common in Alwoodley. They normally need building regulations approval, and sometimes planning permission, depending on the design and any conditions attached to the original house. We will check this at the assessment.
It depends on the design, but larger projects take noticeably longer than single-storey work. We give a realistic programme at quotation stage and update you through the build.
No. We also take on single-room projects such as kitchen fits, bathroom refits and fitted furniture, as well as full house renovations.
