Methil, Fife
Wraparound extension in Methil
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 Methil and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Methil sits in Fife, with postcode districts including KY8. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Fife where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

| 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 Methil?
Whether your wraparound extension in Methil 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Methil like to extend?
Methil 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.
