Local to Montrose
Postcode districts we cover around Montrose include DD10. The same team covers Arbroath (14 miles), Forfar (20 miles), Dundee (28 miles), all within easy reach.
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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
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.
What we take care of
- Lanterns or rooflights with upstands
- Falls and outlets designed to drain properly
- Warm-roof design with insulation above the deck
- Parapets or edge trims and flashings to the house
- Membrane choice: single-ply, EPDM or GRP
Height is often what decides a flat roof. Under first-floor windows, a pitched roof may not fit at all; a flat roof keeps the extension low while still giving a good ceiling height inside.
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Questions people ask about flat roof extensions
Who do I contract with for a flat roof extension in Montrose?
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 you cover all of Montrose?
Yes. We cover Montrose and the surrounding parts of Angus and Dundee. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Montrose?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Are flat roof extensions cheaper?
Usually slightly, because there is less roof structure and no tiles. Our guide range is about £1,720 to £3,280 per m² including VAT.
Can I walk on a flat roof extension?
Only for maintenance unless it is designed as a terrace. A roof terrace or balcony needs planning permission and a different structure.
