Renfrew sits in Glasgow and the Clyde, with postcode districts including PA4. For Renfrew bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Renfrew?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Renfrew needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Scotland a single-storey rear extension can be permitted development under Class 1A: eaves no higher than 3 metres and an overall height of 4 metres, and where any part is within 1 metre of a boundary it can project no more than 3 metres on a terraced house or 4 metres on other houses. The rights do not apply in conservation areas, and a building warrant is still needed before work starts.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Renfrew like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Renfrew, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.

Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Renfrew?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Renfrew house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
