Wraparound extension in Fraserburgh
For homes in Fraserburgh, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Fraserburgh and its postcode districts AB43 are part of our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Fraserburgh?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a wraparound extension in Fraserburgh.
In Scotland side extensions are more restricted than rear ones under householder permitted development, and wraparounds generally need planning permission. A building warrant is required before work starts.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Work to shared walls is governed by property law and the title deeds, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing before work begins.
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 Fraserburgh like to extend?
Fraserburgh 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.
