Is a conservatory replacement right for your house?
- Conservatories that are too hot or too cold
- Homes where the conservatory sits unused
- Older uPVC conservatories near the end of their life
A replacement is a chance to rethink the shape. Many conservatories are oddly proportioned; for a similar cost the new room can often be squarer, wider or better connected to the kitchen.
Planning rules that apply in Aberdeen
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. Separately, almost every extension needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.
Homes in conservation areas, national scenic areas and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Postcode districts we cover around Aberdeen include AB10, AB11, AB15, AB16, AB24, AB25. We also work in nearby Westhill (8 miles), Stonehaven (12 miles), Inverurie (15 miles), Ellon (16 miles).
Montrose, in Angus and Dundee, is roughly 30 miles from Aberdeen 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.

Common questions in Aberdeen
Do you cover all of Aberdeen?
Yes. We cover Aberdeen and the surrounding parts of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a conservatory replacement take to build in Aberdeen?
On site, typically 8 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a conservatory replacement in Aberdeen?
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.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £1,810 to £3,430 per m² including VAT, including removal.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
