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 Tiverton (EX15 and EX16) and the places around it, including Exeter (12.4 miles), Heavitree (12.6 miles) and Honiton.
What it costs in Tiverton
Our guide for South West England is £2,210–£3,040 per m² including VAT. On a project with an L-shaped footprint of about 28 m² wrapping the side and rear, on two floors (56 m² of new floor space), that puts a two-storey wraparound extension in Tiverton at roughly £124,000–£170,000. Steelwork for wide openings is the item most likely to move the figure; we'll know once the engineer has designed it.

Design points for Tiverton homes
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.
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 Tiverton
Do I need planning permission for a two-storey wraparound extension in Tiverton?
Tiverton is in England, so England planning rules apply. Planning permission is needed: the side part takes it outside permitted development in England. If in doubt, a lawful development certificate or a planning application gives you certainty before you build.
How much does a two-storey wraparound extension cost in Tiverton?
Our guide for South West England, which covers Tiverton, is £2,210–£3,040 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 £124,000–£170,000. Design and approval fees are extra, and we fix the build price in writing once the design is agreed.
Who handles building regulations for a project in Tiverton?
We handle it as part of the project. What's needed in England: building regulations approval (full plans recommended) from the council or a registered building control approver, with a completion certificate at the end. We prepare the drawings and the engineer's calculations, book the inspections and pass you the completion paperwork at the end.
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.
How much floor space does a wraparound extension add?
It depends on the width of the side plot and the depth at the rear. Our guide prices are based on a typical wraparound with an L-shaped footprint of about 28 m² wrapping the side and rear, on two floors (56 m² of new floor space). Yours may be larger or smaller, and the measured survey shows what your plot can take.
