Wraparound extensions in Loughborough

Covering Loughborough

We work in Loughborough (LE11) and the places around it, including Coalville, Leicester and Long Eaton.

Homes in the East Midlands

The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.

What does a wraparound extension involve?

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.

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

How is a wraparound extension approved in Loughborough?

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. Most need householder planning permission, which usually takes around eight weeks once validated.

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.

Your questions answered

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.
