Cheetham Hill, Greater Manchester
Wraparound extension in Cheetham Hill
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Cheetham Hill and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Cheetham Hill (M2, M4 and M8) as part of our Greater Manchester work. In Cheetham Hill we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

A wraparound extension in Cheetham Hill is priced at £2,070–£3,380 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.

| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £62,000–£101,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Cheetham Hill?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Cheetham Hill 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Cheetham Hill like to extend?
Cheetham Hill 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 Cheetham Hill
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Is the site visit in Cheetham Hill free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Cheetham Hill house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
