Extensions in and around Falkirk
We cover Falkirk and the postcode districts FK1, FK2, FK3, FK5. The same team covers Grangemouth (3 miles), Alloa (8 miles), Stirling (10 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Lanarkshire, Cumbernauld is around 9 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.
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.

Kitchen extension questions answered
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Falkirk?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Falkirk?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Will my neighbours in Falkirk 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.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,760 to £3,430 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £41,000 to £52,000 in Falkirk, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
