What is 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.

How is a wraparound extension approved in Fleetwood?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

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?

The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.

How does the project run?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
