Glazed rear extension in Mossend
We plan and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions for homeowners in Mossend. 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.
Mossend and its postcode districts ML1, ML4 and ML5 are part of our Lanarkshire coverage. 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 Mossend?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Mossend 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. 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 Mossend like to extend?
Mossend 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.
