Gourock, Glasgow and the Clyde
Wraparound extension in Gourock
Wraparound extension in Gourock: 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.
Gourock and its postcode districts PA15, PA16 and PA19 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 Gourock?
Whether your wraparound extension in Gourock 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. 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 Gourock like to extend?
Gourock 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.
