Covering East Kilbride
Site visits are available across East Kilbride (G72, G74). Neighbouring towns we cover include Cambuslang (3 miles), Blantyre (4 miles), Rutherglen (5 miles), Hamilton (6 miles).
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 East Kilbride
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 East Kilbride 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.

What is included
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
We start with the working triangle and the island, then set the doors, glazing and roof lights around it. Getting this order right avoids the classic mistakes: a sink against a blank wall, glare on the hob or a fridge blocking the garden view.
