Coatbridge, Lanarkshire
Wraparound extension in Coatbridge
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 Coatbridge and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Coatbridge sits in Lanarkshire, with postcode districts including ML5. 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.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Coatbridge?
Whether your wraparound extension in Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge like to extend?
Coatbridge 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.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Coatbridge
How long does a rear extension take to build in Coatbridge?
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.
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 I need planning permission for a rear extension in Coatbridge?
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Coatbridge house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
