Is a wraparound extension right for your house?
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
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.

Planning and approvals in Peacehaven
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).
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Local to Peacehaven
We cover Peacehaven and the postcode districts BN10. We also work in nearby Seaford (5 miles), Brighton (6 miles), Hove (7 miles), Portslade (10 miles).
Just over the West Sussex border, Shoreham-by-Sea is about 12 miles away. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
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
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
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Peacehaven?
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 my neighbours in Peacehaven 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.
Do you cover all of Peacehaven?
Yes. We cover Peacehaven and the surrounding parts of East Sussex. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
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.
