Your Local Home Extension
Specialists in Wickford
Buildaway extends properties throughout Wickford and SS11, SS12, from Wickford High Street and High Street to the family houses bordering Runwell, managing structure and consent as one package.
Wickford rewards extending, but two things need settling early. Drainage often crosses the rear garden, and a build-over agreement takes weeks that belong at the start of a project. The second is Basildon Borough permitted development limits and Green Belt boundaries toward Runwell, where volume limits are applied more tightly. Buildaway resolves both before design is committed. For Wickford owners near Wickford Station or Shotgate, Buildaway covers the SS11 streets either side of Southend Road on the same schedule.
Buildaway combines careful design with genuine workmanship on every Wickford extension. From SS11 terraces to detached family homes, we deliver additions that feel part of the original house, backed by clear communication throughout the build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about home extensions in Wickford, answered.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes for a single-storey rear extension, since the existing structure stays sealed until late in the programme. Buildaway phases the Wickford work so the opening-up happens over the shortest practical period.
How long does a rear extension take to build?
A single-storey rear extension is generally ten to fourteen weeks on site once foundations start, depending on glazing lead times. Double-storey work runs longer. Buildaway separates the design and consent period from the build period on the programme so expectations are realistic.
Can you extend within Basildon Borough permitted development limits?
Sometimes, but the tests are stricter and additions are assessed against the original dwelling rather than its current size. Buildaway will tell you honestly at survey stage whether a scheme is likely to succeed before you spend money on drawings.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Wickford?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but that changes inside Basildon Borough permitted development limits and Green Belt boundaries toward Runwell, where allowances are materially tighter. Buildaway establishes which category your SS11 property falls into before drawing anything.
Do you handle drawings and building control?
Yes. Buildaway coordinates structural calculations, the building control application and inspections, and manages the party wall process where a neighbouring wall is affected, which is frequent on Wickford semi-detached properties.
