Do I need planning permission in Falkirk?
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.
The planning position for a specific Falkirk address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
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.
When a home office extension makes sense
- People who work from home most of the week
- Homes where a loft or garden room is not practical
- 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.

Your questions about a home office extension in Falkirk
Who do I contract with for a home office extension in Falkirk?
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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Falkirk, 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 Falkirk?
Yes. We cover Falkirk and the surrounding parts of Forth Valley. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
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 Falkirk.
