Saltcoats, Ayrshire
Wraparound extension in Saltcoats
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Saltcoats and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Saltcoats is covered from our Ayrshire round, including KA20, KA21 and KA22. 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 Saltcoats?
For Saltcoats 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.

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 Saltcoats?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Saltcoats follows the Scottish householder rules.
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 Saltcoats like to extend?
Saltcoats 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
Wraparound extension questions in Saltcoats
Can you match the brick or stone on my Saltcoats house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Saltcoats?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.

Including KA20, KA21 and KA22, and the surrounding Ayrshire area.
