Wraparound extensions in Aviemore

Covering Aviemore

Aviemore is about 25 miles south-east of Inverness. We also cover Inverness (25 miles to the north-west), Nairn and Forres.

Because the Highlands covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.

Homes in the Highlands

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?

A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped build, giving the biggest possible ground-floor space on terraced and semi-detached houses. It usually creates a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area across the back of the house.

Planning and building rules in Aviemore

In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.

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.
