Covering Atherton
We work in Atherton (M46) and the places around it, including Tyldesley, Westhoughton and Leigh.
Homes in the North West
Across the North West, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates all feature, and brick or stone matching is chosen to suit each street.
What is included in a wraparound extension in Atherton?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped build, giving the biggest possible ground-floor space on terraced and semi-detached houses. It usually creates a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area across the back of the house.
- Party wall process with both neighbours if needed
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics
- Optional kitchen supply and installation

What approvals does a wraparound extension need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
In England a wraparound extension is treated as one extension, and because it covers both the side and the rear it does not normally fit within permitted development.
What should Atherton homeowners check first?
- The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Wraparound extensions: common questions
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Usually yes. In England it combines a side and rear extension, which takes it outside permitted development in most cases.
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
How do I get a price for wraparound extensions in Atherton?
Use the guide price tool for a ballpark figure, then book a visit for a fixed written price for the agreed specification.
