Wraparound extension in Bishopbriggs
Wraparound extension in Bishopbriggs: 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.
We cover Bishopbriggs (G64) as part of our Glasgow and the Clyde work. In Bishopbriggs we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Bishopbriggs?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Bishopbriggs 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. 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 Bishopbriggs like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Bishopbriggs, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Bishopbriggs
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.
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.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
