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 Spalding?
In Spalding, a wraparound extension typically costs £2,100–£3,050 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 28 m² project that is roughly £59,000–£85,500. Prices across the East Midlands are typically 5% below the UK average for this kind of work, which is reflected in the range for Spalding. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.

- Drainage changes
- 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 Spalding?
Approvals for a wraparound extension in Spalding follow the rules for 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.
If the answer is not clear-cut, we can apply for formal confirmation before you commit to the build.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Spalding?
In Spalding, a wraparound extension typically costs £2,100–£3,050 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). A typical 28 m² project comes to roughly £59,000–£85,500. Your fixed price depends on the survey and drawings.
How long does it take to build?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals. Design, planning and party wall matters usually take 3 to 4 months beforehand.
Will both neighbours be affected?
Usually only the neighbour on the side return side, but rear foundations near either boundary can trigger party wall notices.
Who approves a wraparound extension in Spalding?
Planning matters in Spalding go to the council covering your address, and the work needs building control approval. We prepare and submit the applications for you.
What about the old back addition?
The side wall of the back addition is usually removed and replaced with a steel beam, so the old kitchen joins the new space.
