What is a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped addition. It gives the largest possible ground floor, often creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space across the whole width of the house.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Hull?
In Hull, a wraparound extension typically costs £2,050–£3,000 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 28 m² project that is roughly £57,500–£84,000. We start from a UK-wide guide and adjust it for Yorkshire and the Humber, where labour and materials are typically about 7% below average. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.
| Size or type | Guide range |
|---|---|
| Smaller project (20 m²) | £41,000–£60,000 |
| Typical project (28 m²) | £57,500–£84,000 |
| Larger project (39 m²) | £80,000–£117,000 |
| Rate per m² | £2,050–£3,000 |
The biggest cost drivers are:
- Total footprint and the amount of glazing
- Access for materials on terraced streets
- Kitchen and flooring specification
- Steelwork and propping of the existing house
A guide range is only a starting point: the guide price tool gives an instant figure for your size, and a free survey turns it into a fixed quote.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Hull?
Before anything is built in Hull, we confirm which approvals apply in England. In England a wraparound extension combines side and rear elements, which normally takes it outside permitted development, so a householder planning application is made.
Where work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour’s building and deeper than its foundations (or within 6 metres for deeper work), the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notices must be served before work starts.
We check this for your address before design work starts, so there are no surprises later.
What we handle
From survey to sign-off, the job normally involves:
- Design and planning application
- Underfloor heating option, electrics and plastering
- Removal of internal and external walls
- Structural engineer’s design for steels and supports
- Foundations and drainage
- Building control completion
How long does it take?
The build itself usually takes 12 to 18 weeks on site. Allow time beforehand for drawings and approvals, usually 3 to 4 months.
