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 Yeadon?
In Yeadon, 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:
- Access for materials on terraced streets
- Drainage changes
- Steelwork and propping of the existing house
- Party wall surveyor fees for one or both neighbours
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 Yeadon?
The approval route for Yeadon is set by planning law 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.
At the survey we check your house’s planning history and any restrictions, and tell you which route applies.
