Wraparound extensions in Lanarkshire
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design and build rear extensions across Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride and Hamilton to Meikle Earnock, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Lanarkshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow. Post-war semis and terraces are common around Lanarkshire, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Lanarkshire?
A wraparound extension in Lanarkshire is priced at £2,090–£3,420 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. 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 |
Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission in Lanarkshire?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do you cover all of Lanarkshire?
We cover 18 towns and districts in Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Meikle Earnock.
