Wraparound extension in Warwick

We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Warwick. 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.

Warwick sits in Warwickshire, with postcode districts including CV34. In Warwick 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 Warwick?

The planning route for a wraparound extension in Warwick 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 Warwick like to extend?

Warwick has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

How a wraparound extension in Warwick comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  3. Planning and regulations

    We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

  4. Fixed price and build

    A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.

FAQ

Wraparound extension questions in Warwick

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.

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.

How long does a wraparound take?

Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.

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.

What postcode areas do you cover around Warwick?

Including CV34, and the surrounding Warwickshire area.

Is the site visit in Warwick free?

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
