Wraparound extension in Bearsden
Wraparound extension in Bearsden: 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.
Bearsden and its postcode districts G61 and G62 are part of our Glasgow and the Clyde coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Glasgow and the Clyde where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Bearsden?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Bearsden is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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 Bearsden like to extend?
Bearsden 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.
