Wraparound extension in Ayr
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Ayr. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Ayr (KA7, KA8 and KA9) as part of our Ayrshire work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Ayrshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Ayr?
For Ayr we work from the Scotland rate: £2,090–£3,420 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.

| L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor | £46,000–£75,000 |
| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £62,500–£102,500 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ayr?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Ayr is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
Scottish householder rights treat the side part of a wraparound or side infill more strictly than a plain rear extension, so most need planning permission, and all need a building warrant.
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 Ayr like to extend?
Ayr 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.
