Wraparound extension in Wishaw
Thinking about a wraparound extension in Wishaw? An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
Wishaw is covered from our Lanarkshire round, including ML2. 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 Wishaw?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Wishaw 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. 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 Wishaw like to extend?
Wishaw 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 Wishaw
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wishaw house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is the site visit in Wishaw free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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 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 I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Wishaw?
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.
