Local to Clydebank
Our survey diary covers Clydebank, including G81. Nearby, we also take on projects in Bearsden (3 miles), Dumbarton (7 miles), Bishopbriggs (7 miles), Vale of Leven (8 miles).
Erskine, in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, is roughly 2 miles from Clydebank and also on our list. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Planning and approvals in Clydebank
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.
In a conservation area or national scenic area the householder permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition or direction, any extension needs an application.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Common questions in Clydebank
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Clydebank, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Clydebank?
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.
How long does a bungalow extension take to build in Clydebank?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,720 to £3,330 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
