Working in Wednesfield
Our survey diary covers Wednesfield, including WV1, WV2, WV10, WV11, WV12, WV13. Nearby, we also take on projects in Willenhall (1 mile), Wolverhampton (2 miles), Bloxwich (4 miles), Wednesbury (4 miles).
Great Wyrley, in Staffordshire, is roughly 6 miles from Wednesfield and also on our list. 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.
Included in a typical project
- Foundations, drainage and any manhole relocation
- Structural design for the corner and openings
- Roof with glazing along the side return
- Full internal finish or kitchen-ready shell
- Survey, design and 3D layout options
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 Wednesfield
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).
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).

Wraparound extension questions answered
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Wednesfield?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Wednesfield?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wednesfield, 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 I need to move a drain?
Often. Side returns frequently contain a manhole or a shared drain. Building near or over a public sewer needs the water company’s consent in England and Wales, which we arrange.
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.
