Local to Johnstone
Our survey diary covers Johnstone, including PA5, PA10. Nearby, we also take on projects in Paisley (3 miles), Barrhead (5 miles), Erskine (6 miles), Renfrew (6 miles).
For homes towards Dunbartonshire, Clydebank is around 7 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.
Planning rules that apply in Johnstone
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.

Your questions about a home office extension in Johnstone
Do I need building regulations approval in Johnstone?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Johnstone, 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 Johnstone?
Yes. We cover Johnstone and the surrounding parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. 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 Johnstone.
