Across TD9, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Galashiels (16 miles), Kelso (19 miles), Peebles (24 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Dumfries and Galloway border, Annan is about 34 miles away. Scotland's housing includes sandstone villas, terraces and tenements in the cities and plenty of post-war and modern houses and bungalows elsewhere. A building warrant is needed before work starts.

Do I need planning permission in Hawick?
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.

Your questions about a bedroom extension in Hawick
Do you cover all of Hawick?
Yes. We cover Hawick and the surrounding parts of Scottish Borders. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Hawick?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Hawick, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Does an en-suite need a window?
No, but it needs mechanical extraction that meets the building regulations. We design the duct route at the drawing stage.
