Homes in London

London projects often mean working on period terraces with neighbours on both sides, tight access through the house and conservation area controls, so careful planning and party wall work matter as much as the build.

What is a wraparound extension?

A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped build, giving the biggest possible ground-floor space on terraced and semi-detached houses. It usually creates a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area across the back of the house.

What approvals does a wraparound extension need in England?

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 should I think about before starting?

Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.
An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.

Wraparound extensions: common questions

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.

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.

Can you visit a house in Uxbridge to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
