Wrap around house extension

A wrap around house extension refers to building an L-shaped addition to both the rear and the side of your home. This type of extension adds both width and depth to your property.

This type of building addition is a very popular choice for owners of period terraced properties in London. The side return of such properties is rarely used, and so this wrap around extension maximises the use of your available interior living space.

Fittra’s team of experts have over 15 years experience of designing and building wrap around extensions across the London area. Our NHBC-registered firm have an in-house team of architects, planning and design consultants who can help make your vision a reality.

Is a wrap around extension more expensive?

The wrap around extension is more expensive than a straightforward rear extension, as there is usually more structural and design work involved.

However, the wrap around extension cost should be viewed as a long term investment. Such a project creates a much larger living space for you home, utilising dead space from the side of your house, as well as the rear of your home.

By choosing to work with the team at Fittra on your project to increase the living space of your home, you are making a very good investment decision in the long term. Our team will be with you very step of the way to ensure that your house extension project is a complete success, and is delivered under budget and on time.

How much does a wrap around extension cost UK?

The cost of a single storey wrap around extension in the UK depends on a number of factors, including:

size and scope of the building work – this is the biggest factor to consider, clearly the bigger the house, the higher the cost

location – undertaking a building project in London, for example, is more expensive than other parts of the UK
construction materials – the quality and specification of the materials to be used will greatly impact the final cost of the project
the complexity of the design – complex designs involving glass ceilings (which allow for more light) for example, will require input from structural engineers, as well as increasing the cost of any required specialist materials

Finally, perhaps the most important factor which will determine the final cost of your building project is the contractor that you choose to work with.

To keep costs for your project to a minimum, it is essential to work with a building firm that has experience in the type of project you are looking to undertake. Fittra’s experience, professionalism and expertise will ensure that there will be no unexpected problems or delays with your project.

Do you need planning permission for wrap around extension?

Yes, you will need planning permission for a wrap around extension. Current building regulations allow you to build a rear or side return addition without the need for planning permission as part of the `permitted development rules.

However, joining these two extensions together to form a wrap around will need planning permission. Your architect will need to take into consideration a variety of factors when preparing the plans, to ensure that the planning application will be approved.

It is therefore essential to work with a building company which not only has experience of complex additions to period homes, but a detailed knowledge of all relevant planning rules and regulations applicable to such projects.

The specialist team at Fittra have extensive knowledge of all relevant planning regulations, and will ensure that the design and planning application process proceeds as stress free as possible.

What is the cheapest way to extend your house?

A wrap around extension London may not be the cheapest way to extend your house, but it certainly represents one of the best ways to substantially increase the living space of your home and increasing value to your home.

Whilst building this type of addition to your home may be more expensive than a simple rear extension, it allows you maximise the build space on your property. Moreover, on a per metre squared basis, it is very cost efficient, allowing a homeowner to add a lot of extra equity in the value of their property.

Testimonials

Team at Fittra possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent contractor: they know their market extremely well; they are diligent, responsive, and yet very understanding with their clients. They are very professional and offer cost saving alternatives when possible. The thing that has impressed me the most is the professionalism, knowledge and helpfulness of all the workers. Hanwell, New Build

We did our house fully renovation last year July 2019 – December 2019 with Fittra. We are very pleased with the results – our new kitchen (rear extension with lantern roof light), loft conversion, hardwood flooring, underfloor heating, tiling and etc.. Ivan and his team are truly professional. They finished the job with timely manner and customer satisfaction. Their breakdown quotes are easy to understand and easy to work with. We are highly recommended for Ivan, Igor and the team. Great job!!! Isleworth

The work that Fittra did for me was a full house renovation – this did not include any new build or extension work but it did include moving a number of internal load bearing walls and extending external openings to install large sliding doors. The work was reasonably complex structurally as the upper floor is steel beam and concrete block construction. Externally all windows and doors were changed, guttering and fascias were changed and a new tiled deck constructed to give an outside/inside feel. Internally, walls were moved, new door openings created or widened to give a modern open plan look and feel. Maidenhead

Fittra completed a rear extension, loft conversion and full refurbishment of our house in Ealing late last year. This included new bathrooms, heating system (including underfloor heating), electrics and plumbing. When obtaining quotes, Fittra’s prices were in the middle of the three companies who came back to us with costs, but the fact that it was fully itemised (unlike the other costs we received) gave us piece of mind that we knew exactly what we were getting for our money. Ealing

Can’t speak highly enough of Fittra and the job they did. They completed a rear extension, side return and loft extension and pretty much a full refurbishment of our house and garden in SW London. They not only did an incredible job, but they were also great to work with too. Vadym and Ivan’s team were incredibly efficient and hardworking and really amenable and collaborative. I have recommended them to a few friends subsequently, and will continue to do so. Wandsworth
