Is a kitchen extension right for your house?
- Families who want cooking, dining and living together
- Homes being prepared for sale or a long-term stay
- Small or closed-off kitchens
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.
Extensions in and around Inverness
Site visits are available across Inverness (IV1, IV2, IV3). The same team covers Dingwall (11 miles), Nairn (15 miles), Fort William (57 miles), Thurso (81 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Moray border, Forres is about 25 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 and approvals in Inverness
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 Inverness address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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.
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Inverness
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Inverness, 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 Inverness?
Yes. We cover Inverness and the surrounding parts of Highlands and Islands. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Inverness?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Can you fit a kitchen I buy elsewhere?
Yes. We can fit it or work with your supplier’s fitters. We need the layout early so that drains, services and lighting are in the right place.
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.
