Wraparound Extension FAQ
How much does a wraparound extension cost in London? +
Wraparound extensions in London start from around £2,000 per square metre for a basic build, rising to £2,500 for a higher specification and £3,000 or more for a detailed design. Because a wraparound combines a rear and side return, the total is usually higher than a single extension.
Do I need planning permission for a wraparound extension? +
Wraparound extensions often need planning permission, because combining a rear and side extension usually goes beyond permitted development limits. We assess your project and handle the application where one is required.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build? +
Most wraparound extensions take between 14 and 22 weeks on site, depending on the size and complexity of the build. The design and planning stage beforehand typically adds a few months, so it is worth starting early.
What is the difference between a wraparound and an L-shaped extension? +
A wraparound extension combines a rear extension with a side return, wrapping around the back and side of the house. An L-shaped extension is another name for the same layout, describing the shape it creates in plan.
Can I stay in my home during a wraparound extension? +
Most people stay at home throughout the build, though a wraparound affects both the rear and side of the house, so disruption is greater than a single extension. Setting up a temporary kitchen makes the process much easier.
