Wraparound extension in Stourbridge
Wraparound extension in Stourbridge: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Stourbridge is covered from our West Midlands round, including DY5, DY8 and DY9. 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 Stourbridge?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge like to extend?
Stourbridge has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

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.

Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
