Wraparound extension in Prestwick
Wraparound extension in Prestwick: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Prestwick is covered from our Ayrshire round, including KA7, KA8 and KA9. In Prestwick we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

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 Prestwick?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a wraparound extension in Prestwick.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Prestwick like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Prestwick, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Prestwick
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
What postcode areas do you cover around Prestwick?
Including KA7, KA8 and KA9, and the surrounding Ayrshire area.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
Is the site visit in Prestwick free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
