Working in Lossiemouth
Postcode districts we cover around Lossiemouth include IV31. Neighbouring towns we cover include Elgin (5 miles), Forres (14 miles), Buckie (14 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 Lossiemouth
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.
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.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
What is included
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
- Planning drawings that show the glass detail
- Drainage details for frameless roofs
- Whole-house energy calculations where needed
- Solar-control and low-energy glass specification
- 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.

Glass extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Lossiemouth, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Lossiemouth?
Yes. We cover Lossiemouth and the surrounding parts of Moray. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a glass extension in Lossiemouth?
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.
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 Lossiemouth.
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.
