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
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.
Do I need planning permission in Warminster?
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).
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a 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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Working in Warminster
We cover Warminster and the postcode districts BA12. Neighbouring towns we cover include Trowbridge (10 miles), Melksham (14 miles), Devizes (14 miles), Salisbury (18 miles).
Just over the Somerset border, Frome is about 7 miles away. 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.

Your questions about a wraparound extension in Warminster
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Warminster, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Warminster?
Yes. We cover Warminster and the surrounding parts of Wiltshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Warminster?
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.
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.
