Covering Coventry
Site visits are available across Coventry (CV1, CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5, CV6). The same team covers Solihull (11 miles), Shirley (13 miles), Sutton Coldfield (17 miles), Birmingham (17 miles), all within easy reach.
The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.
When a wraparound extension makes sense
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
The corner is where wraparounds succeed or fail. We usually use a single steel goalpost or a corner post hidden in a pier, and set the glazing so the new room reads as one space rather than two boxes.
Planning and approvals in Coventry
In England a wraparound extension is assessed as both a side and a rear extension, and the combination usually falls outside permitted development, so most need a householder planning application (£548 from 1 April 2026).
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Your questions about a wraparound extension in Coventry
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Coventry?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Coventry be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Coventry?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,940 to £3,590 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £55,500 to £70,500 in Coventry before design and council fees.
Do wraparound extensions need planning permission?
Usually, yes. In England the side element counts as a side extension and the rear element as a rear extension, and the combination normally falls outside permitted development. A householder application costs £548 in England from 1 April 2026.
