Covering Sheffield
We work in Sheffield (S1, S2, S3) and the places around it, including Rotherham, Dronfield and Chapeltown.
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 goes into 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.
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Pitched, flat or glazed roof with rooflights
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics
How much should I budget for a wraparound extension?
What wraparound extensions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| 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 Sheffield?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
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.
What can affect a wraparound extension?
- Both neighbours may need party wall notices.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- 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.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
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 Sheffield 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.
