Wraparound extension in Willenhall
For homes in Willenhall, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Willenhall sits in the West Midlands, with postcode districts including WS3, WV12 and WV13. 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 Willenhall?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Willenhall.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Willenhall like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Willenhall. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Willenhall
Is the site visit in Willenhall free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Willenhall?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Is it worth it over a side return alone?
If you want a dining table and a sofa as well as the kitchen, usually yes.
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.
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.
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.
