Covering Ryde
Alongside Ryde, we also cover Gosport, Sandown (5 miles to the south) and Portsmouth.
Because the Isle of Wight 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 East
Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.
What goes into 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
- Party wall process with both neighbours if needed
- Pitched, flat or glazed roof with rooflights

Do you need permission for a wraparound extension in Ryde?
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 affect a wraparound extension?
- Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
How does the project run?
- 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.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Usually yes. In England it combines a side and rear extension, which takes it outside permitted development in most cases.
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
