Wraparound extension in Hale

We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Hale. 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.

Hale and its postcode districts GU9, GU10 and GU12 are part of our Surrey coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Surrey where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Hale?

Wraparound extension prices in Hale

L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor£54,000–£88,500

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 Hale?

Whether your wraparound extension in Hale 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. 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 Hale like to extend?

Around Hale the housing ranges from inter-war semis to 1960s and 1970s estates with good-sized gardens. Many of the newer estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history before anything is drawn.

How a wraparound extension in Hale comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  2. Design and guide price

    Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.

  3. Paperwork handled

    Planning, prior approval or permitted development, Building Regulations approval, structural design and party wall notices are all handled by us.

  4. Written price, then build

    Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ

Wraparound extension questions in Hale

Can I get a price without a visit?

Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.

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.

Will it take a lot of garden?

Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.

Is the site visit in Hale free?

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Hale house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Will I need a structural engineer?

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
