What is a wrap-around extension?
A wrap-around extension "wraps" around the side and rear of your home, combining a side-return infill with a rear extension. It creates a large, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space and dramatically improves light and flow on the ground floor.
Cost and value
Because they cover more area, wrap-around extensions typically start from around £70,000 + VAT to build and add significant value and liveability. Our design and planning fee for combined projects starts at £3,000 — see pricing.
Planning permission
Wrap-around extensions almost always need householder planning permission because they exceed permitted development limits. Our 97% approval rate comes from designing with policy and neighbour impact in mind from the start.

Common questions
How long does a wrap-around take?
Allow around 8–12 weeks for design and householder planning, then roughly 14–20 weeks on site.
Is it worth it over a standard rear extension?
If you want the biggest possible open-plan ground floor and have the side return to use, a wrap-around delivers far more space and light for the additional cost.
