Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, older stone and brick terraces sit alongside inter-war semis and newer estates, and dormers and rear extensions are designed to suit each.
What is a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped build, giving the biggest possible ground-floor space on terraced and semi-detached houses. It usually creates a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area across the back of the house.
- Party wall process with both neighbours if needed
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics
What will a wraparound extension cost?
Indicative costs for wraparound extensions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
| 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 |
What approvals does a wraparound extension need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
In England a wraparound extension is treated as one extension, and because it covers both the side and the rear it does not normally fit within permitted development. Most need householder planning permission, which usually takes around eight weeks once validated.
What can affect a wraparound extension?
- The corner steel connection is the critical detail and is designed by a structural engineer.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
What happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Typically £3,400 to £4,700 per square metre including VAT. Many come in between £85,000 and £120,000 before the kitchen.
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.
Can you visit a house in Hornsea 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.
