Covering Rutherglen
Postcode districts we cover around Rutherglen include G73. Nearby, we also take on projects in Cambuslang (2 miles), East Kilbride (5 miles), Blantyre (5 miles), Coatbridge (8 miles).
Just over the Dunbartonshire border, Bishopbriggs is about 5 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.
When it helps
- Homeowners at the very start of a project
- Anyone who wants fixed designs before getting build prices
- Projects that need a planning application or other approval
The most expensive changes are the ones made after the steel is ordered. A good design stage settles layout, heights, glazing and services on paper, so the build price is firm.

Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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.
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.
