An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Rear extensions in Dumfries and Galloway: we cover 4 towns including Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Dumfries and Galloway where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow. Dumfries and Galloway 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.

Do you need planning permission in Dumfries and Galloway?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do you cover all of Dumfries and Galloway?
We cover 4 towns and districts in Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan.
