Extensions in and around Larkhall
Site visits are available across Larkhall (ML9). Nearby, we also take on projects in Wishaw (3 miles), Hamilton (3 miles), Motherwell (4 miles), Bellshill (6 miles).
For homes towards Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, Newton Mearns is around 15 miles away. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Do I need planning permission in Larkhall?
In Scotland the questions are whether the extension falls within householder permitted development (Classes 1A to 1D) or needs planning permission from the council, and the building warrant, which is required before construction begins and is followed by a completion certificate.
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.
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 Larkhall
Will my neighbours in Larkhall 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 in Larkhall?
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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Larkhall?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.

Our design packs range from about £1,150 to £5,400 including VAT, from planning drawings only to a full pack with building regulations drawings, structural calculations and 3D views. Council fees are separate.
Can I use your drawings with another builder?
