Wraparound extension in Pontypool
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Pontypool. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Pontypool (NP4 and NP44) as part of our South Wales Valleys work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in the South Wales Valleys where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Pontypool?
Whether your wraparound extension in Pontypool needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Welsh side-extension rules limit a single-storey side addition to 4 metres high and a 50% increase in the width of the original house, with tighter limits in conservation areas. Wraparounds usually need a planning application.
In Wales, as in England, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 requires notice to neighbours before work to a shared wall or excavation near their foundations.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Pontypool like to extend?
Pontypool is largely terraced streets on sloping ground, where back gardens step up or down from the house. Excavation, retaining walls and drainage are priced at the survey.
