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 Peebles?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a wraparound extension in Peebles.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Peebles like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Peebles, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in the Scottish Borders where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Peebles
What postcode areas do you cover around Peebles?
Including EH45, and the surrounding Scottish Borders area.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Peebles house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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 I need planning permission for a rear extension in Peebles?
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.
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.
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.
