Wraparound extension in Timperley
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Timperley. 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.
We cover Timperley (M33, WA14 and WA15) as part of our Greater Manchester work. In Timperley we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Timperley?
For Timperley we work from the North West England rate: £2,070–£3,380 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.

|---|---|
| L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor | £45,500–£74,500 |
| 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 Timperley?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Timperley 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 Timperley like to extend?
Timperley 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 Timperley
What postcode areas do you cover around Timperley?
Including M33, WA14 and WA15, and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Timperley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
What roof suits a wraparound?
A flat roof with a lantern, a standing-seam pitched roof or a glazed roof over the side leg. The choice usually follows the first-floor windows above.
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 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.
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.
