Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.
What is included in a wraparound extension in Cardigan?
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.
- Design, planning drawings and structural calculations
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics

- 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.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
