What is included in an upward extension in Clydebank?
An upward extension adds a new storey on top of an existing house, most often turning a bungalow into a two-storey or chalet-style home. It can double the floor area without using any of the garden.
- Roof removal and temporary weather protection
- New first-floor structure, walls and roof
- Staircase and changes to the ground floor layout

How is an upward extension approved in Clydebank?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
Adding a storey in Scotland needs planning permission and a building warrant.
What can affect an upward extension?
- Some bungalow foundations need strengthening before a storey can be added.
- The staircase takes space from the ground floor plan.
