High Blantyre, Lanarkshire
Wraparound extension in High Blantyre
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 High Blantyre and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover High Blantyre (G71, G72 and ML3) as part of our Lanarkshire work. 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.

These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in High Blantyre?
Whether your wraparound extension in High Blantyre needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Scotland side extensions are more restricted than rear ones under householder permitted development, and wraparounds generally need planning permission. A building warrant is required before work starts.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Work to shared walls is governed by property law and the title deeds, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing before work begins.
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 High Blantyre like to extend?
High Blantyre 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 High Blantyre
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.
Do you handle building control in High Blantyre?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
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.
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my High Blantyre house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
