Will the council need to approve it?
In Scotland, householder permitted development rules (Class 1A for single-storey ground-floor extensions and Class 1B for extensions of more than one storey) allow some smaller extensions without a planning application, within limits on depth, height and distance from the boundary. Conservation areas and listed buildings are more restricted.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
In Scotland a building warrant from the council is needed before work starts on almost any extension, and a completion certificate is issued when the work is accepted. Building standards are set in the Scottish technical handbooks.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Where work affects a shared wall or a neighbour's land, we agree access, protection and making good with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
What is included
- En-suite drainage and ventilation design
- Structure, roof, insulation and finish
- Fire safety: escape windows and smoke alarms to building regulations
- Planning drawings and application
- Heating extended to the new rooms
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.

Common questions in Blantyre
Do you cover all of Blantyre?
Yes. We cover Blantyre and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Blantyre be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Blantyre?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,570 to £3,140 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £33,500 to £43,500 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
