Covering Kirkby
Our coverage around Kirkby (L32) also includes Maghull (3 miles to the north-west) and Litherland.
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 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.
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics
- Optional kitchen supply and installation
What will a wraparound extension cost?
Typical ranges for wraparound extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Wraparound extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £3,400 to £3,800 per m² |
| Good specification | £3,800 to £4,250 per m² |
| High specification | £4,250 to £4,700 per m² |
Do you need permission for a wraparound extension in Kirkby?
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.
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.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
