Wraparound extension in Glasgow
Wraparound extension in Glasgow: 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.
Glasgow is covered from our Glasgow and the Clyde round, including G5, G11, G40 and G43. 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.

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Glasgow?
For Glasgow 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 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Glasgow?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a wraparound extension in Glasgow.
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 Glasgow like to extend?
Glasgow has sandstone tenements, terraced houses and villas closer in, with post-war semis and newer estates further out. Tenement and other flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Glasgow
Is the site visit in Glasgow free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Glasgow?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Glasgow house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
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.
