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 Llandudno (LL30) and the places around it, including Deganwy (1.4 miles), Colwyn Bay (4.8 miles) and Abergele.

Planning and building regulations in Llandudno
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 Llandudno homes
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.
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.

Questions about two-storey wraparound extensions in Llandudno
How long does a two-storey wraparound extension take?
Allow 4 to 8 weeks for survey and design, then the approval period (councils normally decide householder applications within 8 weeks), then 4 to 8 weeks of technical design, which can overlap. The build itself usually takes 14 to 20 weeks, longer for large or complex designs.

How much does a two-storey wraparound extension cost in Llandudno?
Our guide for Wales, which covers Llandudno, 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.
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.
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.
