Wrap Around Extensions Long Eaton
A wrap around extension combines a rear and side extension into one L-shaped space, opening up the whole ground floor of your Long Eaton home. It is the biggest single-storey change most homeowners can make without moving.
We design and build wrap around extensions across Long Eaton, from the Victorian terraces near the town centre to the semis around Sawley and West Park. Local knowledge, honest advice, and a fixed written quote from the start.

The most flexible way to grow a Long Eaton home
A wrap around extension takes the space behind your house and joins it with the space down the side, forming a single L-shaped room that hugs the corner of your property. For many Long Eaton homes this means a full-width kitchen, a proper dining area, and a family living space all flowing into one another.
Long Eaton has a good mix of older terraces along Tamworth Road and larger semis and detached homes towards Sawley and Trowell Road. The semi-detached and end-terrace layouts here often have a useful strip of side access or a passage that is perfect for the “side” leg of a wrap around, while the deeper rear gardens give room to push back as well.
Because the extension wraps two sides, you gain far more usable floor area than a rear-only build, and you can bring light in from several directions with roof lanterns, bifold doors, and side windows. It is the option we recommend most often when a homeowner tells us the ground floor simply feels too small and chopped up.

Why Long Eaton homeowners choose a wrap around
- Maximum ground floor space – combine rear and side in one build to gain far more room than a single extension.
- Open-plan kitchen and living – ideal for the older Long Eaton terraces where rooms feel small and separate.
- Light from every angle – roof lanterns and bifolds flood the new space, even on north-facing gardens near the canal.
- Uses awkward side returns – the narrow passage down the side of many NG10 semis becomes valuable floor area.
- Strong return on value – a well-built wrap around is one of the best investments for family homes in the Long Eaton market.
- One project, one team – less disruption than doing a rear and side extension separately.

Planning and permitted development
What to know before you start
Because a wrap around combines rear and side additions, it usually goes beyond permitted development and needs a full planning application to Erewash Borough Council. We handle this for you and have a 100% planning success rate locally.
If your Long Eaton home is a semi or end-terrace, party wall agreements with neighbours are often needed. Homes in the conservation area near the town centre, or any listed building, face tighter rules, so early advice matters.
Both legs of the extension must meet building regulations for structure, insulation, drainage, and fire safety. We manage building control inspections from start to finish.

What Long Eaton homeowners say
Our old kitchen off Tamworth Road was tiny. The wrap around gave us a huge open-plan space and the team kept everything tidy throughout. Faultless from survey to handover.
They handled the Erewash planning application and party wall side of things without any fuss. Our Sawley semi now has a fantastic L-shaped kitchen diner. Fixed price stayed exactly as quoted.
We used the side passage and back of the house to create one big room. The roof lantern makes it so bright. Highly recommend to anyone in Long Eaton thinking of extending.
