Glazed rear extension in Dundee
Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We design, get the approvals for and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions in Dundee and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Dundee is covered from our Dundee and Angus round, including DD1, DD2, DD3 and DD4. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Dundee?
A glazed rear extension in Dundee is priced at £2,660–£4,560 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) | £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 Dundee?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Dundee is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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.
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. 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 Dundee like to extend?
Dundee has sandstone tenements, terraced houses and villas closer in, with post-war semis and newer estates further out. Tenement and other flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
