Local to Brecon
Site visits are available across Brecon (LD3). The same team covers Llandrindod Wells (21 miles), Newtown (39 miles), Welshpool (49 miles), all within easy reach.
Ebbw Vale, in Gwent, is roughly 14 miles from Brecon and also on our list. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.

Will the council need to approve it?
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape or World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).
Who a wraparound extension suits
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Wraparound extension questions answered
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Brecon?
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 Brecon?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Brecon?
Yes. We cover Brecon and the surrounding parts of Powys. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
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.
