Wraparound extension in Hayes
Thinking about a wraparound extension in Hayes? An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
Hayes is covered from our Greater London round, including UB3, UB4 and UB11. In Hayes we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Hayes?
For Hayes we work from the London rate: £2,860–£4,680 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. London prices sit at the top of our range because of labour rates, access through the house, parking suspensions and skip licences.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor | £63,000–£103,000 |
| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £86,000–£140,500 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Hayes?
Whether your wraparound extension in Hayes needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Hayes like to extend?
Much of Hayes is 1920s and 1930s semis and short terraces with longer gardens than inner London, which suit full-width single-storey rear extensions. Parking suspensions, skip licences and controlled hours on residential streets shape the programme more than the build itself.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Hayes
What postcode areas do you cover around Hayes?
Including UB3, UB4 and UB11, and the surrounding Greater London area.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Hayes house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is it worth it over a side return alone?
If you want a dining table and a sofa as well as the kitchen, usually yes.
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.
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
