Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Driffield?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Driffield.
In England the side part of a side return or wraparound must meet the side-extension rules (one storey, under 4 metres high, no more than half the width of the original house), and those rights do not apply on designated land. Because a wraparound combines a side and a rear extension, many need householder planning permission.
Because rear extensions often sit on or near the boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies in England. Notices go out one or two months before work depending on the type of work, and a surveyor's award is only needed if a neighbour does not consent.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Driffield like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Driffield. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Driffield
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Driffield?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do you handle building control in Driffield?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is the site visit in Driffield free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
