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.
Around Neyland we also work in Pembroke Dock, Pembroke and Steynton, and across the rest of Dyfed. Postcode district in and near Neyland: SA72.
What it costs in Neyland
For budgeting in Neyland, allow around £111,000–£152,000 for a two-storey wraparound extension with an L-shaped footprint of about 28 m² wrapping the side and rear, on two floors (56 m² of new floor space). That's based on £1,980–£2,710 per m² including VAT for Wales. Kitchens, bathroom fittings and flooring are priced separately so you can compare like with like.

Planning and building regulations in Neyland
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 Neyland 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.
Phasing the build
A wraparound touches two sides of the house at once, so the kitchen and often the rear rooms are out of use for part of the build. We plan the sequence so you keep a working kitchen and bathroom for as long as possible, or advise when moving out briefly makes sense.

We start in Neyland with a free visit: measurements, photos, a look at the loft and drains, and a frank chat about budget.

Measured survey, design, then the right approval route for your house. We explain each step before we take it.
Structure and building control
A structural engineer sizes the foundations and steels, and we get building regulations approval before work starts.

Questions about two-storey wraparound extensions in Neyland
Do I need planning permission for a two-storey wraparound extension in Neyland?
Neyland is in Wales, so Wales planning rules apply. Usually needs planning permission, because the combined side and rear works rarely meet every permitted development test. If in doubt, a lawful development certificate or a planning application gives you certainty before you build.
Who handles building regulations for a project in Neyland?
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). We prepare the drawings and the engineer's calculations, book the inspections and pass you the completion paperwork at the end.
Which postcodes do you cover around Neyland?
We cover Neyland (SA72) and nearby places including Pembroke Dock, Pembroke and Steynton, plus the rest of Dyfed. The first site visit is free.
Can I stay at home during a wraparound extension?
Many people do, but a wraparound affects two sides of the house and usually the kitchen, so there will be weeks without a full kitchen. We plan a temporary kitchen, keep a route through the house and seal off the work area. For some families, moving out while the rear wall is opened up is easier.
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.
