What is included
- Householder planning application
- Foundations, drainage and any manhole relocation
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
- Full internal finish or kitchen-ready shell
- Structural design for the corner and openings
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 rules that apply in Warrington
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 Warrington address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

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.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Wraparound extension questions answered
Do I need building regulations approval in Warrington?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Warrington?
Yes. We cover Warrington and the surrounding parts of Cheshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Warrington?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
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 £1,900 to £3,520 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £54,500 to £69,000 in Warrington before design and council fees.
