Fulwood, South Yorkshire
Wraparound extension in Fulwood
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Fulwood and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Fulwood (S10, S11 and S17) as part of our South Yorkshire work. 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.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Fulwood?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Fulwood is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Fulwood like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Fulwood. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

Wraparound extension questions in Fulwood
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 you match the brick or stone on my Fulwood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Is the site visit in Fulwood free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Fulwood?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
