Planning rules that apply in Stirling
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.
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.
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.

What is included

- Lanterns or rooflights with upstands
- Falls and outlets designed to drain properly

- 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.

Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.

We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
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
Do you cover all of Stirling?
Yes. We cover Stirling and the surrounding parts of Forth Valley. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a flat roof extension take to build in Stirling?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Stirling?
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.
