Huyton, Merseyside
Wraparound extension in Huyton
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 Huyton and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Huyton is covered from our Merseyside round, including L28, L34 and L36. 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.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Huyton?
For Huyton we work from the North West England rate: £2,070–£3,380 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor | £45,500–£74,500 |
| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £62,000–£101,500 |
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 Huyton?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Huyton.
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 Huyton like to extend?
Huyton 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 Huyton
Is the site visit in Huyton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Huyton?
Including L28, L34 and L36, and the surrounding Merseyside area.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Huyton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Huyton?
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.
