Renovation Company Oakwood
Extensions, loft conversions, kitchens and bespoke joinery for Oakwood homes. MCR Joinery helps owners of Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war houses in LS8 update and enlarge their homes, with a free home consultation.
Oakwood is a popular residential neighbourhood in north-east Leeds, centred on the busy shopping parade near the Oakwood clock and bordering Roundhay Park. The housing stock is a mix of Edwardian and inter-war semis and terraces, larger detached houses and some more modern homes. Many properties are well established, and their owners are looking for ways to modernise them rather than move.
Typical projects include kitchen extensions that connect a rear kitchen to the garden, loft conversions to add a bedroom, re-plans of ground-floor layouts, and new fitted bathrooms. Bay-fronted semis often offer good scope for rear and side extensions, while terraces and smaller houses may be best served by a smart kitchen refit and carefully designed storage. See our bespoke fitted kitchen article for what a made-to-measure kitchen involves, and our bathroom renovation guide for a clear view of what to plan.
All of this is supported by joinery: fitted wardrobes, media walls, replacement doors and staircases. Browse our services or read our guide to Leeds renovation costs to begin.

Our qualified project manager will visit your Oakwood 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.
Edwardian and inter-war houses were built with generous rooms and good quality materials, and we like to keep as much of that as we can. In many cases, original doors, fireplaces and staircases can be kept and complemented by new work, and we can make joinery that blends with them.
Planning is rarely a barrier for typical rear extensions and loft conversions, but it should not be assumed. Parts of the surrounding area are conservation areas, and individual houses may have lost some permitted development rights. We always check the status of the property early, and if a planning application is needed, we explain the process and timescales.
Every quote we provide is itemised so you can see where your money is going. If you want to adjust the scope to meet your budget, we can show you what changes make the biggest difference to the price.
In most cases a rear extension is possible. The size and design depend on the house, the plot and planning rules. We will outline options at the assessment.
Yes. Taking down a wall between kitchen and dining room, moving a doorway or reconfiguring a hall can transform a house, although structural alterations need proper design and building regulations approval.
Our quotations are itemised, based on measurements taken at the home visit and on the materials and finishes agreed with you.
Oakwood is next to Roundhay, Gledhow and Moortown. See our areas we cover or the Leeds renovations page.
