Wraparound extension in Urmston
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 Urmston and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Urmston and its postcode districts M17, M32 and M41 are part of our Greater Manchester coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Greater Manchester where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Urmston?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Urmston.
Side return infills and the side leg of a wraparound are treated as side extensions in England: single-storey, no more than 4 metres high and no wider than half the original house. They are not permitted development in conservation areas, National Parks or National Landscapes, and a joined wraparound often needs a planning application because the side and rear rules apply together.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England: you serve notice two months before work to a shared wall, and one month before digging foundations within 3 metres (or 6 metres for deeper foundations) of a neighbour's building. Neighbours can agree in writing; if they dissent, surveyors agree an award.
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 Urmston like to extend?
Urmston 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.
