Local to Crieff
Site visits are available across Crieff (PH7). We also work in nearby Perth (15 miles), Blairgowrie (24 miles).
Just over the Forth Valley border, Alloa is about 18 miles away. 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.
The planning position for a specific Crieff address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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.
Who a home office extension suits
- Homes where a loft or garden room is not practical
- People who work from home most of the week
- Households that need a second quiet room
North-facing glass and rooflights give steadier light for screen work. Where the office faces south, we use deeper reveals or external shading to keep glare and heat down.

Common questions in Crieff
Who do I contract with for a home office extension in Crieff?
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 I need building regulations approval in Crieff?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Do you cover all of Crieff?
Yes. We cover Crieff and the surrounding parts of Perth and Kinross. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a home office extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,810 to £3,330 per m² including VAT. An 11 m² standard-spec office is typically £23,000 to £29,500 in Crieff.
Is an attached office better than a garden office?
An attached office shares the house heating and broadband, adds floor area to the home, and needs no garden path in the rain. A garden building can be cheaper and quicker but is a separate structure.
