Wraparound extension in Syston
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Syston. 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 Syston (LE7) as part of our Leicestershire and Rutland work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Leicestershire and Rutland where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Syston?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Syston follows the English householder rules.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Syston like to extend?
Syston has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

Wraparound extension questions in Syston
Can you match the brick or stone on my Syston house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

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 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.
