Wraparound extensions in Redruth

Covering Redruth

We work in Redruth (TR15) and the places around it, including Truro, Falmouth and Helston.

Because Cornwall covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.

Homes in the South West

In the South West, matching local stone, render or slate is often the main design question, and conservation areas and listed buildings are common in historic towns.

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.

Planning and building rules in Redruth

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?

Both neighbours may need party wall notices.
Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.

What happens after I enquire?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
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.
