Wraparound extension in Felling
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Felling. 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 Felling (NE8, NE9 and NE10) as part of our Tyne and Wear work. In Felling we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Felling?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Felling 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. 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 Felling like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Felling. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Felling
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.
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 wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Felling house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
