Wraparound extensions in South Yorkshire
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Rear extensions in South Yorkshire: we cover 27 towns including Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in South Yorkshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow. Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of South Yorkshire. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in South Yorkshire?
In South Yorkshire, our guide for a wraparound extension is £2,050–£3,350 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |

| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £61,500–£100,500 |
Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission in South Yorkshire?
Side return infills and the side leg of a wraparound are treated as side extensions in England: single-storey, no more than 4 metres high and no wider than half the original house. They are not permitted development in conservation areas, National Parks or National Landscapes, and a joined wraparound often needs a planning application because the side and rear rules apply together.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England: you serve notice two months before work to a shared wall, and one month before digging foundations within 3 metres (or 6 metres for deeper foundations) of a neighbour's building. Neighbours can agree in writing; if they dissent, surveyors agree an award.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
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.
Do you cover all of South Yorkshire?
We cover 27 towns and districts in South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster.
