Glazed rear extension in Ayr
For homes in Ayr, a glazed rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Ayr is covered from our Ayrshire round, including KA7, KA8 and KA9. Glass-led rear extensions in Ayr are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Ayr?
For Ayr we work from the Scotland rate: £2,660–£4,560 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. 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) | £32,000–£54,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £64,000–£109,500 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Ayr?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Ayr is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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.
Insulation and glazing follow Section 6 of the Scottish Technical Handbook; the building warrant drawings show how the extension meets it.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Ayr like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Ayr, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.
