Wraparound Extensions in Solihull
What is a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension combines a rear extension and a side-return extension into one continuous L-shaped floor plan that wraps around the corner of the house. It is typically the largest single-storey option available and is ideal for creating a large, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.
Why choose a wraparound extension in Solihull?
- Maximises usable space by combining two extension types into one continuous open-plan area.
- Ideal for a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that opens onto the garden.
- Often more cost-effective than carrying out a rear extension and a side-return as two separate projects.
- FMB-registered, fully insured, with over 20 years building in Solihull and the surrounding areas.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Solihull?
| Wraparound extension (typical total) | £60,000 to £130,000 |
|---|---|
| Cost per square metre | £1,800 to £2,500 per m² |
Figures are indicative UK ranges to help you budget and are not a quote. Actual costs depend on size, specification and site conditions.
A wraparound sits at the higher end of extension pricing because it is effectively two extensions in one, with more foundations, more external wall, a larger roof and usually far more glazing. The final figure depends on size, specification and the amount of glazing.
Our process and timeline
- Step 1: Free consultation and site visit. We visit, measure up and talk through your ideas and budget.
- Step 2: Design and drawings. We prepare the drawings for the combined rear and side-return space.
- Step 3: Planning permission or permitted development check. The side-return element often needs planning permission even when a rear-only extension would not, and we handle any application.
- Step 4: Build. Groundwork, structure, roofing, first fix, second fix and finishing.
- Step 5: Sign-off and completion. Building control sign-off and a final walk-round with you.
Typical build time: 12 to 16 weeks on site (UK average), with the design and planning stage happening beforehand.
Do I need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Solihull?
Wraparound extensions more commonly require full planning permission than a rear-only extension, because of the side-return element and the overall size. We confirm the requirements for your property against Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council’s rules and manage the application for you.
