Terraced house rear extension in Bearsden
We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Bearsden. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Bearsden (G61 and G62) as part of our Glasgow and the Clyde work. Terraced streets make up much of the housing in parts of Glasgow and the Clyde, and most rear extensions here go in without side access.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Bearsden?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a terraced house rear extension in Bearsden.
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.
There is no Party Wall Act in Scotland; neighbour matters are handled through the title deeds, common law and written agreement before work starts.
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 Bearsden like to extend?
Bearsden 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
Terraced house rear extension questions in Bearsden
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bearsden?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Bearsden?
As a guide, £1,950–£3,140 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4.5 m deep (13.5 m²): about £26,500–£42,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can a terrace have a two-storey rear extension?
It is possible but harder to get through planning because of the effect on both neighbours.
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Is the site visit in Bearsden free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
