Airdrie, Lanarkshire
Wraparound extension in Airdrie
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Airdrie and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Airdrie is covered from our Lanarkshire round, including ML6. In Airdrie we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Airdrie?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Airdrie follows the Scottish householder rules.
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 Airdrie like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Airdrie, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Airdrie
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Airdrie?
Including ML6, and the surrounding Lanarkshire area.
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.
Do you handle building control in Airdrie?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
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.
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.
