Homes in Dundee and Angus

In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.

What does a wraparound extension involve?

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.

  • Building warrant application and completion certificate
  • Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
  • Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics

How much does a wraparound extension cost in Dundee?

Typical ranges for wraparound extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

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 can change the price or programme?

  • 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. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  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. Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
