Terraced house rear extension in Renfrew
Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for terraced houses in Renfrew and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Renfrew (PA4) 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.

How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Renfrew?
For Renfrew we work from the Scotland rate: £1,950–£3,140 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. Prices in Scotland sit a little below our West Midlands baseline; building warrant fees and drawings are budgeted separately.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4.5 m deep (13.5 m²) | £26,500–£42,500 |
| 3 m wide × 6 m deep (18 m²) | £35,000–£56,500 |
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 terraced house rear extension in Renfrew?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Renfrew 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.
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. 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 Renfrew like to extend?
Renfrew 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 Renfrew
Can you match the brick or stone on my Renfrew 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 Renfrew?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
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.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do you handle building control in Renfrew?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
