Wraparound extension in Fleetwood
Wraparound extension in Fleetwood: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Fleetwood is covered from our Lancashire round, including FY5 and FY7. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Lancashire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Fleetwood?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Fleetwood.
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 Fleetwood like to extend?
Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood
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 Fleetwood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Fleetwood?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
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.
