Covering Greenock

Homes in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
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 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
- Design, planning drawings and structural calculations
- Optional kitchen supply and installation
How much should I budget for a wraparound extension?
Typical ranges for wraparound extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Wraparound extensions | Guide 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 |
How is a wraparound extension approved in Greenock?
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 affect a wraparound extension?
- 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?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
