Wraparound extension in Middlewich
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Middlewich. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Middlewich and its postcode districts CW10 are part of our Cheshire coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Cheshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Middlewich?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Middlewich is set by England's householder rules and your council.
In England the side part of a side return or wraparound must meet the side-extension rules (one storey, under 4 metres high, no more than half the width of the original house), and those rights do not apply on designated land. Because a wraparound combines a side and a rear extension, many need householder planning permission.
Because rear extensions often sit on or near the boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies in England. Notices go out one or two months before work depending on the type of work, and a surveyor's award is only needed if a neighbour does not consent.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Middlewich like to extend?
Middlewich has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Middlewich
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Middlewich house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
