Covering Stonehaven
Our survey diary covers Stonehaven, including AB39. The same team covers Aberdeen (12 miles), Westhill (13 miles), Inverurie (23 miles), Ellon (28 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Angus and Dundee, Montrose is around 18 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.
Planning rules that apply in Stonehaven
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Common questions in Stonehaven
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Stonehaven, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Stonehaven 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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Stonehaven?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
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 Stonehaven.
