About a two-storey wraparound extension

A two-storey wraparound extension suits a house with space both beside it and behind it, where you want to transform the layout rather than add a single room. You get one design for the whole L-shape, the planning application, structural design for the corner and the openings into the house, a building warrant and the build, managed by us and carried out by vetted teams working under S&K.

Auchterarder sits about 12.6 miles from Perth. Closer to home, Crieff is 7.3 miles away and Sauchie 11.8 miles.

Planning and building standards in Auchterarder

In Scotland, a two-storey wraparound would need to be at least 10 m from every boundary to be permitted development under Class 1B, and not on an elevation fronting a road. That is rarely possible, so plan for a householder planning application, which costs £371 and is decided within two months, followed by a building warrant before work starts.

Approval in Scotland: Householder planning application: £371. Councils have two months to decide a local planning application.

Building standards: A building warrant from the council's building standards service before work starts, and a completion certificate at the end. Scotland uses its own Technical Handbooks.

Design points for Auchterarder homes

The corner post

At the outside corner of the L, there is no existing wall to carry the floor above. Opening the ground floor fully usually means a steel frame or a corner post, and the engineer's design sets how slim it can be. We decide early whether you want a clear corner or a visible post.

Phasing the build

A wraparound touches two sides of the house at once, so the kitchen and often the rear rooms are out of use for part of the build. We plan the sequence so you keep a working kitchen and bathroom for as long as possible, or advise when moving out briefly makes sense.

Questions about two-storey wraparound extensions in Auchterarder

How long does a two-storey wraparound extension take?

Allow 4 to 8 weeks for survey and design, then the approval period (councils have two months to decide a local planning application), then 4 to 8 weeks of technical design, which can overlap. The build itself usually takes 14 to 20 weeks, longer for large or complex designs.

Which postcodes do you cover around Auchterarder?

We cover Auchterarder (PH3 and PH4) and nearby places including Crieff, Sauchie and Bridge of Earn, plus the rest of Perth and Kinross. The first site visit is free.

How much does a two-storey wraparound extension cost in Auchterarder?

Our guide for Scotland, which covers Auchterarder, is £2,020–£2,770 per m² including VAT. A typical project with an L-shaped footprint of about 28 m² wrapping the side and rear, on two floors (56 m² of new floor space) comes to about £113,000–£155,500. Design and approval fees are extra, and we fix the build price in writing once the design is agreed.

Is a wraparound extension better than separate side and rear extensions?

Building both at once usually costs less than two separate projects, because you pay for one set-up, one scaffold, one roof junction and one set of approvals. It also lets the layout be designed as a whole. The trade-off is a larger single outlay and a longer build, often 16 to 24 weeks at this size.

Can a wraparound extension be part single, part two-storey?

Yes. Many wraparounds keep the rear part single storey with roof lights over the kitchen and put the two-storey part to the side. This can reduce the effect on neighbours and the cost. We set out both options at the design stage, so you can compare floor space against price before choosing.
