Homes in Dundee and Angus

Housing in Scotland includes tenements in the cities, sandstone villas, inter-war and post-war semis and a large number of bungalows, which often suit dormer and upward extensions.

What is a wraparound extension?

Because it removes two external walls, a wraparound needs careful structural design and a good plan for the corner where the steels meet. We design, apply for any permissions, build and finish the shell, and can fit the kitchen as part of the same contract.

  • Pitched, flat or glazed roof with rooflights
  • Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics
  • Optional kitchen supply and installation

How much should I budget for a wraparound extension?

Use these ranges to budget for wraparound extensions; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.

Wraparound extensionsGuide price incl. VAT
Standard specification£3,400 to £3,800 per m²
Good specification£3,800 to £4,250 per m²
High specification£4,250 to £4,700 per m²

What approvals does a wraparound extension need in Scotland?

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.

Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.

What should I think about before starting?

  • Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.
  • An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.

What happens after I enquire?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
  3. Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
  4. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
