About LS6
About LS6 Construction
LS6 is a Leeds building contractor. We take on extensions, loft conversions, renovations and new builds, and we run every one with our own trades and a single point of contact.
Most of our work is on the Victorian through-terraces, stone villas and 1930s semis of north Leeds, from Headingley and Chapel Allerton out to Roundhay, Horsforth and Adel. Older houses hide things. We’ve opened up enough of them to know what to look for at survey stage, and to price for it honestly.
We also build for landlords, developers and local businesses, from single plots to office fit-outs done over weekends so nobody loses a working day.
Our trades
Our own trades, on our own programme.
Most delays on a build come from waiting for a subcontractor who’s busy on someone else’s job. We keep bricklayers, joiners, plasterers and groundworkers on our own books, so the programme you get with your quote is the one we work to.
- Groundworks
- Brickwork
- Steels
- Roofing
- Joinery
- Plastering
- Plumbing
- Electrics
- Tiling

What we build
Eight kinds of job, done start to finish.
Take one on its own or combine a few. Plenty of clients add a loft and an extension in the same build to share the scaffolding, the skips and the disruption.
- 01Extensions Single and two-storey, side returns, wraparounds and kitchen-diners.
- 02Loft conversions Dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard and roof light lofts, with new stairs.
- 03Renovations Whole-house refurbishments, period properties, rewires and new layouts.
- 04New builds Single plots, replacement homes and small developments.
- 05Kitchens and bathrooms Fitted by the same team that builds the room around them.
- 06Garage conversions and garden rooms Insulated, heated and signed off as proper rooms.
- 07Commercial Office fit-outs, shop refits and planned maintenance for managing agents.
- 08Design and planning Drawings, planning, building regulations and party wall notices.

Final week
On site
What it’s like having us in.
Most of our clients live at home while we work. We run every site with that in mind.
Every evening
A tidy site
Tools away, waste bagged and paths swept. Skips covered, and never left overflowing on the road.
Every day
Updates you can see
A shared WhatsApp group with your site manager, and photos of the day’s work even when you’re at the office.
Throughout
Neighbours kept onside
We knock on doors before we start, keep the road clear and keep the noisy work to sensible hours.
Where we work
Leeds and the towns around it, from Ilkley to Wetherby.
Our office is on The Headrow in the city centre, and most of our jobs are within half an hour of it. For the right project we’ll go further.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Often not. Many single-storey rear extensions and most loft conversions fall under permitted development, which allows building within set limits on size and height without a planning application. Those rights don’t apply to flats or listed buildings and are restricted in conservation areas, and Leeds has dozens of them. We’ll tell you at survey which route your project needs.
How long will my project take?
As a guide, a garage conversion takes three to six weeks, a loft six to ten, a single-storey extension ten to sixteen, and a whole-house renovation three months or more. Your quote comes with a week-by-week programme for your job.
Can we stay in the house while you work?
Usually, yes, and most of our clients do. We seal off the work area, keep a route through the house and plan the noisy, dusty stages so you know when they’re coming. If the kitchen has to be out of action for a few days, we’ll agree the dates with you well in advance.
How do payments work?
You pay in stages as work is completed, against a schedule written into the contract. We don’t ask for a large deposit up front, and each payment is tied to a clear milestone, so you’re never paying ahead of the work on site.
Do you deal with party wall agreements?
Yes. If you’re building on a shared boundary, cutting into a party wall or digging close to a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 requires notice to be served first. We’ll tell you at survey whether it applies and help you serve the notices in good time.
