Covering Great Sankey
We work in Great Sankey (WA5) and the places around it, including Warrington, Newton-le-Willows and Widnes.
Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
What goes into 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
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics
- Optional kitchen supply and installation
How much should I budget for a wraparound extension?
Indicative costs for wraparound extensions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.

| Standard specification | £3,400 to £3,800 per m² |

Planning and building rules in Great Sankey
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?
- Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
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.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- 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.
