Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Dundee and Angus
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Dundee and Angus, from Dundee and Arbroath to Forfar, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Dundee and Angus. Post-war semis and terraces are common around Dundee and Angus, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
