Wraparound extension in Rosyth
Wraparound extension in Rosyth: 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.
Rosyth is covered from our Fife round, including KY11 and KY12. 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.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Rosyth?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Rosyth follows the Scottish householder rules.
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. 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 Rosyth like to extend?
Rosyth 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 Rosyth
Can you match the brick or stone on my Rosyth house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
What postcode areas do you cover around Rosyth?
Including KY11 and KY12, and the surrounding Fife area.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.

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