Covering Southampton
Alongside Southampton, we also cover Totton (4 miles to the west), Eastleigh and Fareham.
Homes in the South East
The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.
What do you get with 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
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics

Planning and building rules in Southampton
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 Southampton homeowners check first?
- 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 happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- 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.
Wraparound extensions: common questions
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
