Wraparound extensions in Warwickshire
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Across Warwickshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa.
In Nuneaton we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear. Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Warwickshire. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Warwickshire?
Guide prices for a wraparound extension in Warwickshire start from our West Midlands rate of £2,200–£3,600 per square metre, including VAT. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor | £48,500–£79,000 |
| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £66,000–£108,000 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in Warwickshire?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do you cover all of Warwickshire?
We cover 9 towns and districts in Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa.
