House Extensions in Glasgow: Choosing the Type
Cunningham builds (joinery), a building and joinery business based in Port Glasgow, covers house extensions in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. There are three main types: single storey, usually at the rear for a kitchen, double storey for extra bedrooms on the same footprint, and wrap-around, which joins the side to the rear.
Single storey, double storey or wrap-around?
Cunningham builds (joinery) takes on extensions of three kinds: single storey, double storey and wrap-around. A single storey addition is where most open kitchens come from, and going up a storey doubles the space on the same ground.
A wrap-around combines the side and the rear, which suits corner and end plots. What the space is for, and what the plot allows, decide it.
What is the 50% rule for house extension?
It usually refers to permitted development: extensions and other buildings cannot cover more than half of the garden ground around the original house without a planning application. Scotland and England word their rules differently, and your council planning team is the reliable source.
What is included in a turnkey new build?
Cunningham builds (joinery) takes a new build from the ground to the ridge, as a turnkey service. Groundwork and foundations, the frame, the roof, the windows and the external works are all included.
Inside, it runs through plasterboarding and joinery to builders in Inverkip completion. Both planning consent and a warrant come before the first trench.
Is it worth buying a timber frame house?
For most buyers, yes. Timber frame is a mainstream way to build in Scotland, and a well built one is warm, stable and quick to heat. The survey is what counts, especially any sign of long standing damp in the frame.
What aftercare comes with a build in Glasgow?
Cunningham builds (joinery) guarantees its workmanship for 12 months on every project. A free check after installation is included, backed by responsive support after the job.
Ask what a guarantee covers before the job starts, not after. Workmanship and materials are two different questions. Get it in writing, even informally.
