A wrap-around extension with a loft conversion, Bromsgrove

The job Liam is proudest of: a wrap-around extension with a loft conversion in the Bromsgrove area, built through the summer of 2025. Below is the build, stage by stage, from the new walls in May to the windows going in that August.

With the new walls up, the work moves into the existing house: openings, steels and the roof.

The old roof stripped off and red steel beams in place, with scaffold round the house. The steels carry the loads where walls are opened up and the new roof is formed.

Windows in

Hi guys, as the windows go in to our Bromsgrove job the job really starting to take shape ready for the scaffolding to come down tomorrow and works on the lower roofs to continue.

Liam · 13 Aug 2025

The windows going in, the scaffold due down the next day and work on the lower roofs carrying on. The house now has its new shape: the extension round the side and back, and the dormer above.

What wrap-around means

A side and a rear extension, built as one

A wrap-around extension adds rooms along the side and across the back of the house at the same time, so the new space turns the corner in an L shape.

This time last year some of the team was tackling these two extensions. One huge rap around extension with a loft conversion and the other a rear double storie extension and full house refurb.

Wrap-around extension · 01

What is a wrap-around extension?

A side extension and a rear extension built as one, so the new space turns the corner of the house in an L shape. It usually makes one larger kitchen, dining and living area on the ground floor. On this job it came with a loft conversion as well, so the house grew at the side, at the back and in the roof.

The wrap-around extension guide covers the planning rules and building regulations, using this job as the worked example.

Wrap-around extension · 02

The job Liam is proudest of

It was one of two big jobs the team had on at the same time in 2025: this wrap-around with its loft conversion, and a rear double-storey extension with a full house refurb.

Wrap-around extension · 03

Was there another wrap-around?

Yes. In May 2025 the team had a second wrap-around under way: a scaffolded house with new walls round the side and back and the steels in. The drone clip above shows it from the air.

Wrap-around extension · 04

What does a job like this need before it starts?

A full wrap-around usually needs a householder planning application, because the side and rear extension limits both apply, and a loft conversion has its own rules. Most extensions also need building regulations approval, and footings near a neighbour’s house can bring in the Party Wall Act. Check with your council before work starts.

Which Brick2Brick UK services did it involve?

Most of what Brick2Brick UK does: groundworks and footings, brick and blockwork, steels and the extension itself. For other extensions, see extensions by Brick2Brick UK.
