Wraparound extension in Vale of Leven
For homes in Vale of Leven, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Vale of Leven (G82 and G83) as part of our Glasgow and the Clyde work. In Vale of Leven 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 Vale of Leven?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Vale of Leven 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 Vale of Leven like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Vale of Leven, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Vale of Leven
What postcode areas do you cover around Vale of Leven?
Including G82 and G83, and the surrounding Glasgow and the Clyde area.
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.
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 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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Vale of Leven?
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 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.
