Wraparound extension in Kingswinford
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 Kingswinford and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Kingswinford (DY5, DY6 and DY8) as part of our West Midlands work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in the West Midlands where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Kingswinford?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Kingswinford follows the English householder rules.
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 Kingswinford like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Kingswinford. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Kingswinford
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Kingswinford?
As a guide, £2,200–£3,600 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor: about £48,500–£79,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
