Covering Consett
Alongside Consett, we also cover Stanley, Newburn (10 miles to the north) and Chester-le-Street.
Homes in the North East
The North East has terraced housing including Tyneside flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates, so loft conversions, rear extensions and layout changes are popular ways to add space.
What do you get with a wraparound extension?
Because it removes two external walls, a wraparound needs careful structural design and a good plan for the corner where the steels meet. We design, apply for any permissions, build and finish the shell, and can fit the kitchen as part of the same contract.
- Design, planning drawings and structural calculations
- Party wall process with both neighbours if needed
- 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 can change the price or programme?
- Both neighbours may need party wall notices.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
Can we keep part of the kitchen working?
Often, by sequencing the work so the old back wall comes out last. We agree a plan with you before starting.
Glazed roof or solid roof?
A mix usually works best: solid roof with rooflights over the kitchen and a glazed section over the dining area.
