- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
Do I need planning permission in Blantyre?
In Scotland, householder permitted development rules (Class 1A for single-storey ground-floor extensions and Class 1B for extensions of more than one storey) allow some smaller extensions without a planning application, within limits on depth, height and distance from the boundary. Conservation areas and listed buildings are more restricted. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
The planning position for a specific Blantyre address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Where work affects a shared wall or a neighbour's land, we agree access, protection and making good with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Wraparound extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Blantyre be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Blantyre, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Blantyre?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,960 to £3,630 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £56,000 to £71,500 in Blantyre before design and council fees.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
