Glazed rear extension in Erskine
We plan and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions for homeowners in Erskine. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Erskine sits in Glasgow and the Clyde, with postcode districts including PA4, PA7 and PA8. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Erskine?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Erskine needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Erskine like to extend?
Erskine 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.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Erskine
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.
How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Erskine?
As a guide, £2,660–£4,560 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £32,000–£54,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Erskine house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Erskine?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
