Glazed rear extension in Stirling
For homes in Stirling, 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.
Stirling is covered from our Forth Valley round, including FK7 and FK9. Glass-led rear extensions in Stirling are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.

| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £64,000–£109,500 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Stirling?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Stirling follows the Scottish householder rules.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Stirling like to extend?
Stirling 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.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Stirling
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stirling house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.
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.
Is the site visit in Stirling free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
