Is a wraparound extension right for your house?
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
Do I need planning permission in Barry?
In Wales a wraparound must satisfy both the rear and side extension limits to be permitted development, so most need a planning application to the council.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).

Questions people ask about wraparound extensions
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Barry?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Barry?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Barry, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,860 to £3,440 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £53,000 to £67,500 in Barry before design and council fees.
Will I need to move a drain?
Often. Side returns frequently contain a manhole or a shared drain. Building near or over a public sewer needs the water company’s consent in England and Wales, which we arrange.
