Wraparound extensions in Newburn

Covering Newburn

Our coverage around Newburn (NE15) also includes Gosforth (5 miles to the east) and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Homes in the North East

The North East has terraced housing including Tyneside flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates, so loft conversions, rear extensions and layout changes are popular ways to add space.

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.

Do you need permission for a wraparound extension in Newburn?

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 should I think about before starting?

The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
Both neighbours may need party wall notices.

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.
