Covering Hyde
Our coverage around Hyde (SK14) also includes Denton, Dukinfield and Stalybridge.
Homes in the North West
The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.
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
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics

Planning and building rules in Hyde
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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. Most need householder planning permission, which usually takes around eight weeks once validated.
What should I think about before starting?
- 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.
From first call to completion
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
What people ask before starting
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
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.
Can you visit a house in Hyde to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
