Wraparound extension in Keighley
Thinking about a wraparound extension in Keighley? 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.
We cover Keighley (BD21 and BD22) as part of our West Yorkshire work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in West Yorkshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Keighley?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Keighley is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Keighley like to extend?
Keighley has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Keighley
How long does a rear extension take to build in Keighley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do you handle building control in Keighley?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Is the site visit in Keighley free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
