Wraparound extension in Bordon
For homes in Bordon, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Bordon and its postcode districts GU30 and GU35 are part of our Hampshire coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Hampshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Bordon?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Bordon 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 Bordon like to extend?
Around Bordon the housing ranges from inter-war semis to 1960s and 1970s estates with good-sized gardens. Many of the newer estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history before anything is drawn.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Bordon
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bordon?
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.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Bordon?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bordon house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
