Is a wraparound extension right for your house?
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- 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.

Will the council need to approve it?
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).
The planning position for a specific Rugby address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Extensions in and around Rugby
Our survey diary covers Rugby, including CV21, CV22, CV23. Nearby, we also take on projects in Bedworth (11 miles), Leamington Spa (12 miles), Nuneaton (14 miles), Kenilworth (14 miles).
Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Common questions in Rugby
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Rugby?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Rugby, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Rugby 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.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
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 Rugby before design and council fees.
