Wrap Around Extensions Stapleford
A wrap around extension combines a rear and side return in one build, giving Stapleford homes a large open-plan space that flows from the front of the house to the back garden. It is the ideal choice for the many Victorian and 1930s semis found along roads like Derby Road and around Hickings Lane.
We manage the whole project locally, from the first survey to the final coat of paint, so you deal with one trusted team throughout.

The biggest way to add space to a Stapleford house
A wrap around extension takes the space beside your house and the space behind it and joins them into one L-shaped footprint. For Stapleford homeowners this usually means turning a cramped galley kitchen and a separate dining room into a single, bright, family-sized living space that opens onto the garden.
Many properties in Stapleford, particularly the semi-detached homes near Stapleford Recreation Ground and the older terraces closer to the town centre, have a side alley or passageway that is rarely used for anything but bins. A wrap around design puts that dead space to work while also extending back into the garden, giving you far more room than a rear or side extension could deliver on its own.
Because the plots in Stapleford vary from wide 1930s semis to narrower Victorian terraces, we design each wrap around to suit the individual house. Our surveyor checks boundary lines, drains and sunlight before drawing anything, so the finished space works for how you actually live.
Why choose a wrap around?
You gain the most floor space of any single-storey extension, ideal for open-plan kitchen-diners, a utility, a downstairs WC and a family snug all in one.
Serving all of NG9
We work across Stapleford, Bramcote, Toton and the wider NG9 area, so materials and labour are never far away.
Why a wrap around extension suits Stapleford homes
- Maximum floor space – combining the side return and rear in one build gives you more room than any other single-storey option.
- Open-plan living – knock through to create one flowing kitchen, dining and family area that looks out over the garden.
- Uses dead space – the unused side alley found on many Stapleford semis becomes valuable indoor floor area.
- Adds real value – a well-built wrap around is one of the strongest ways to raise the sale price of a Stapleford home.
- More natural light – roof lanterns, skylights and bi-fold doors flood the deeper floor plan with daylight.
- Room for everything – space for a utility, pantry, downstairs WC and boot room without losing living space.

Planning and permitted development in Stapleford
Stapleford falls under Broxtowe Borough Council for planning. Many wrap around extensions need full planning permission rather than permitted development, because wrapping around both the rear and the side of the house often goes beyond the limits allowed for a single rear or side extension.
We handle the whole application for you, and our local knowledge of Broxtowe’s rules is why we hold a 100% planning success rate. If your home is a listed building or sits in a conservation area, extra care is needed, and we will flag this at survey stage.
Stapleford planning at a glance
Wrap arounds usually need full planning permission. Party wall agreements apply where you build up to a neighbour’s boundary. We manage both so you do not have to.

What Stapleford homeowners say
Our wrap around completely transformed our Stapleford semi. The old side alley and pokey kitchen are now one huge open space. The team kept us informed the whole way and cleared up every day.
They handled the full planning application with Broxtowe and it went through without a hitch. The roof lantern makes the dining area so bright. Genuinely pleased we chose a local firm.
Great value and finished on time. Our home near the Rec now has a proper family kitchen-diner with bi-fold doors. Would recommend them to anyone in Stapleford looking to extend.
Wrap around extension questions from Stapleford homeowners
Most wrap arounds in Stapleford need full planning permission, because combining a rear and side extension usually exceeds permitted development limits. We prepare and submit the application to Broxtowe Borough Council for you.
As a 2026 guide, most Stapleford wrap arounds fall between £55,000 and £125,000 depending on size and finish. We give you a fixed written quote after a free survey.
A typical Stapleford wrap around takes around 12 to 16 weeks on site once work starts. Design and planning beforehand usually add 8 to 12 weeks, which we manage for you.
If your wrap around builds up to or along a shared boundary, which is common on Stapleford semis and terraces, a party wall agreement with your neighbour is likely. We guide you through the notices and paperwork.
Yes. Many Victorian terraces in Stapleford have a narrow side return that is perfect for a wrap around. We design the layout to make the most of even a slim plot while keeping plenty of natural light.
