What is included
- Survey, design and 3D layout options
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
- Foundations, drainage and any manhole relocation
- Structural design for the corner and openings
- Roof with glazing along the side return
- Full internal finish or kitchen-ready shell
The corner is where wraparounds succeed or fail. We usually use a single steel goalpost or a corner post hidden in a pier, and set the glazing so the new room reads as one space rather than two boxes.
Working in Exmouth
Site visits are available across Exmouth (EX8). We also work in nearby Exeter (9 miles), Newton Abbot (11 miles), Torquay (12 miles), Paignton (15 miles).
Bridport, in Dorset, is roughly 29 miles from Exmouth and also on our list. In the South West, local stone, render and brick vary from town to town, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension that looks right.
Planning and approvals in Exmouth
In England a wraparound extension is assessed as both a side and a rear extension, and the combination usually falls outside permitted development, so most need a householder planning application (£548 from 1 April 2026).
The planning position for a specific Exmouth address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What happens next
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
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Common questions in Exmouth
Will my neighbours in Exmouth be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Exmouth?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Exmouth?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
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.
Do wraparound extensions need planning permission?
Usually, yes. In England the side element counts as a side extension and the rear element as a rear extension, and the combination normally falls outside permitted development. A householder application costs £548 in England from 1 April 2026.
