Many families in the area are choosing to extend rather than relocate, and it is easy to see why. A well planned extension gives you the extra room you need along with a strong increase in property value.

From bright open plan kitchen extensions to practical rear or side additions, our team creates solutions that improve your lifestyle and blend naturally with your home. Every project is shaped around your property, your goals, and your long term needs.

Why Southside Homeowners Choose to Extend

Glasgow Southside features a mix of traditional villas, tenements, and modern family homes. Whatever the style, extensions offer clear benefits:

• More space without leaving the neighbourhood
• Increased property value
• A layout that suits the way your family lives
• Smarter use of outdoor areas
• More affordable than purchasing a larger home

If your home feels tight on space or you are preparing for a growing family, an extension provides a practical and cost effective way to create the room you need.

Home Extension Services We Offer in Glasgow Southside

Every property is different, which is why we offer a variety of extensions designed to complement both classic and contemporary homes across the Southside.

Rear Home Extensions

A rear extension is perfect for creating a spacious kitchen, a larger dining area, or a family zone that opens on to the garden. It enhances everyday living while adding valuable square footage.

Side Return Extensions

Ideal for terraced and semi detached homes common across the Southside, this option uses the narrow side space to create a wider and more functional ground floor layout.

Wraparound Extensions

When you need a significant amount of new space, a wraparound extension combines side and rear expansion for outstanding flexibility. It is suited to kitchens, living rooms, playrooms, or home offices.

Double Storey Extensions

A double storey extension adds rooms on both levels. It is a great choice for families wanting extra bedrooms, an additional bathroom, or a generous master suite.

Kitchen Extensions

Kitchen extensions remain one of the most popular choices in Glasgow Southside. Create a bright, modern kitchen that becomes the central hub of your home.

Do I need planning permission for a double-storey extension?

In most cases, yes. Double-storey extensions usually require planning permission, especially in Scotland where space is tight. Our team manages the entire planning process for you, including drawings and applications.

How long does it take to build a double-storey extension?

On average, a double-storey extension takes 16 – 24 weeks, depending on complexity. This includes planning, construction, and finishing touches, with our team keeping you updated at every stage.

Will a double-storey extension add value to my property?

Absolutely. A well-designed double-storey extension can significantly increase your property’s market value, often by more than the cost of the build itself. It also makes your home more functional and attractive to buyers.

Can I live in my home while the extension is being built?

Yes, most clients remain in their homes during construction. We carefully plan the works to minimise disruption and keep your daily life running as smoothly as possible.

What can I use the extra space for?

The ground floor often becomes a spacious kitchen -diner or family room, while the upper floor can be transformed into bedrooms, a bathroom, or even a home office. The design is entirely tailored to your needs.
