What we take care of
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
- Planning drawings that show the glass detail
- Drainage details for frameless roofs
- Design with specialist glazing input
Solar gain is the risk. We specify solar-control glass, plan for opening vents or sliding panels, and avoid fully glazed roofs on south-facing extensions unless shading is included.
Local to Bathgate
Across EH48, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Livingston (5 miles), Broxburn (7 miles), Penicuik (17 miles), Edinburgh (18 miles).
Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
Planning rules that apply in Bathgate
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
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.

Your questions about a glass extension in Bathgate
Will my neighbours in Bathgate 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 for a glass extension in Bathgate?
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 Bathgate?
Yes. We cover Bathgate and the surrounding parts of Edinburgh and the Lothians. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Are glass extensions cold in winter?
Modern double or triple glazing with warm-edge spacers and underfloor heating keeps them comfortable. They are not as warm as a solid room, and we explain the trade-off honestly.
How much does a glass extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,940 to £5,680 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £41,000 to £52,000 in Bathgate.
