Wraparound extension in Heswall
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Heswall. 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.
Heswall sits in Merseyside, with postcode districts including CH60 and CH61. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Merseyside where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Heswall?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Heswall is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Heswall like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Heswall. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Heswall
What postcode areas do you cover around Heswall?
Including CH60 and CH61, and the surrounding Merseyside area.
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.
Is it worth it over a side return alone?
If you want a dining table and a sofa as well as the kitchen, usually yes.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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 Heswall?
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.
