Covering Barry
Alongside Barry, we also cover Penarth, Cardiff (7 miles to the north-east) and Cowbridge.
Homes in South Glamorgan
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What is a wraparound extension?
Because it removes two external walls, a wraparound needs careful structural design and a good plan for the corner where the steels meet. We design, apply for any permissions, build and finish the shell, and can fit the kitchen as part of the same contract.
- Party wall process with both neighbours if needed
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Pitched, flat or glazed roof with rooflights
What will a wraparound extension cost?
Typical ranges for wraparound extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Wraparound extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £3,400 to £3,800 per m² |
| Good specification | £3,800 to £4,250 per m² |
| High specification | £4,250 to £4,700 per m² |
How is a wraparound extension approved in Barry?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
Wales has its own permitted development rules, set by the Welsh Government.
What can change the price or programme?
- The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
- Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
What people ask before starting
Can we keep part of the kitchen working?
Often, by sequencing the work so the old back wall comes out last. We agree a plan with you before starting.
Glazed roof or solid roof?
A mix usually works best: solid roof with rooflights over the kitchen and a glazed section over the dining area.
Can you visit a house in Barry to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
