Wrap-Around Extensions in South Wales
A wrap-around extension combines a rear extension and a side-return into a single L-shaped build — typically delivering 25–45 m² of new open-plan living space. It's the gold-standard kitchen-extension build for Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, and almost always requires full planning. We provide the full design-and-build including planning applications, structural engineering and premium aluminium glazing. Most wrap-arounds complete in 14–18 weeks.
