About a two-storey wraparound extension
A two-storey wraparound extension suits a house with space both beside it and behind it, where you want to transform the layout rather than add a single room. You get one design for the whole L-shape, the planning application, structural design for the corner and the openings into the house, building regulations approval and the build, managed by us and carried out by vetted teams working under S&K.
We cover Haverfordwest (SA61, SA62 and SA63) and the places around it, including Steynton (5.4 miles), Neyland (6.4 miles) and Milford Haven.
What it costs in Haverfordwest
A guide price for Haverfordwest: around £111,000–£152,000 for an L-shaped footprint of about 28 m² wrapping the side and rear, on two floors (56 m² of new floor space). That works out at £1,980–£2,710 per m² of new floor space, including VAT at 20%. Design fees, structural calculations and approval fees are separate and listed on our prices page.

Planning and building regulations in Haverfordwest
In Wales, a wraparound would have to pass both the side and rear tests to be permitted development: 10.5 m to the opposite side boundary, a 1 m set-back from the front and no more than 50% added width, plus the 4 m and 3 m rear depth limits and 10.5 m to the rear boundary. Many wraparounds therefore need a householder application, which costs £585.
Approval in Wales: Householder planning application: £585. Councils normally decide householder applications within 8 weeks.
Building regulations: Building regulations approval under the Welsh Approved Documents, which differ from England's in places (notably energy efficiency).
Design points for Haverfordwest homes
The corner post
At the outside corner of the L, there is no existing wall to carry the floor above. Opening the ground floor fully usually means a steel frame or a corner post, and the engineer's design sets how slim it can be. We decide early whether you want a clear corner or a visible post.
Two roofs that meet
A wraparound needs the side roof and rear roof to join cleanly, often with a valley or hip where they meet. Getting pitches and ridge heights right keeps rainwater moving and avoids a bulky mass at the back corner, which neighbours and planners notice.
How we'd run your project
Look at the house
We start in Haverfordwest with a free visit: measurements, photos, a look at the loft and drains, and a frank chat about budget.
Drawings, then consent
We draw the scheme, check it against the rules in Wales, and take it through the right consent with the council.
Engineer it
Foundations sized for two floors, steels for any openings, and building control approval, all before anyone starts on site.
Build it
The new structure goes up first, then we open into the house, finish inside and get the completion certificate.
Questions about two-storey wraparound extensions in Haverfordwest
Who handles building regulations for a project in Haverfordwest?
We handle it as part of the project. What's needed in Wales: building regulations approval under the Welsh Approved Documents, which differ from England's in places (notably energy efficiency).

How much does a two-storey wraparound extension cost in Haverfordwest?
Our guide for Wales, which covers Haverfordwest, is £1,980–£2,710 per m² including VAT. A typical project with an L-shaped footprint of about 28 m² wrapping the side and rear, on two floors (56 m² of new floor space) comes to about £111,000–£152,000. Design and approval fees are extra, and we fix the build price in writing once the design is agreed.
Can a wraparound extension be part single, part two-storey?
Yes. Many wraparounds keep the rear part single storey with roof lights over the kitchen and put the two-storey part to the side. This can reduce the effect on neighbours and the cost. We set out both options at the design stage, so you can compare floor space against price before choosing.
Is a wraparound extension better than separate side and rear extensions?
Building both at once usually costs less than two separate projects, because you pay for one set-up, one scaffold, one roof junction and one set of approvals. It also lets the layout be designed as a whole. The trade-off is a larger single outlay and a longer build, often 16 to 24 weeks at this size.
