Glasgow and the Clyde
Rear extensions for bungalows in Glasgow and the Clyde
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design and build rear extensions across Glasgow and the Clyde, from Glasgow and Paisley to Greenock, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
For Glasgow bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room. Glasgow and the Clyde has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Glasgow and the Clyde?
A bungalow rear extension in Glasgow and the Clyde is priced at £1,760–£2,850 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. Prices in Scotland sit a little below our West Midlands baseline; building warrant fees and drawings are budgeted separately.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £21,000–£34,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £42,000–£68,500 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission in Glasgow and the Clyde?
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 1A) covers many single-storey rear extensions, with a 3 metre eaves limit, a 4 metre height limit and, within 1 metre of a boundary, a depth limit of 3 metres for terraced houses or 4 metres for others. Conservation areas are excluded, and you need a building warrant whatever the planning position.
Scotland has no larger-extension prior approval route; extensions beyond permitted development need a planning application.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Do you cover all of Glasgow and the Clyde?
We cover 19 towns and districts in Glasgow and the Clyde, including Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock.
