We design and build wrap around extensions for homeowners in Harrow who want to significantly increase ground-floor space. By combining side and rear extensions, wrap around layouts create large, practical living areas that transform how the home is used.
Trusted locally for complex wrap around extensions planned and built with full structural control.
A wrap around extension extends both to the side and rear of a property, forming an L-shaped layout. This type of extension delivers the largest increase in ground-floor space and allows for full internal reconfiguration.
Wrap around extensions are suitable for:
Semi-detached houses – the most common and effective option
End-of-terrace properties – where side access is available
Detached homes – allowing for wider, more flexible designs
Common uses for side extensions include:
Large open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas
Kitchen extensions with island layouts and roof glazing
Family spaces with direct garden access
Utility rooms, storage, and ground-floor WCs
Wrap around extensions are often chosen when a rear or side extension alone would not provide enough space.
We assess boundaries, access, drainage, and existing structure to confirm how the side and rear elements can be combined safely and efficiently.
We review drawings, structural calculations, and planning requirements to ensure the extension is compliant before construction begins.
The build is phased to maintain stability of the existing house, with inspections at foundations, drainage, steel installation, and insulation stages.
Final works are completed, building control approval is secured, and the extension is handed over ready for occupation.
Wrap around extensions almost always require planning permission, as they combine side and rear development and have a greater visual and spatial impact.
Planning considerations typically include:
Overall footprint and boundary distances
Height and roof design
Impact on neighbouring properties
Loss of light and outlook
All wrap around extensions must meet Building Regulations, including:
Structural integrity and steelwork
Fire safety and escape routes
Drainage and damp protection
Thermal performance and ventilation
We coordinate inspections and approvals throughout the build.
