Carnoustie, Dundee and Angus
Wraparound extension in Carnoustie
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 Carnoustie and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Carnoustie (DD7) as part of our Dundee and Angus work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Dundee and Angus where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Carnoustie?
For Carnoustie 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.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor | £46,000–£75,000 |
| L-shaped, about 30 m² of new floor | £62,500–£102,500 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Carnoustie?
Whether your wraparound extension in Carnoustie needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Carnoustie like to extend?
Carnoustie 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 Carnoustie
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.
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.
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.

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
