Covering Peebles
Our survey diary covers Peebles, including EH45. We also work in nearby Galashiels (15 miles), Hawick (24 miles), Kelso (31 miles).
For homes towards Edinburgh and the Lothians, Penicuik is around 12 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.
Planning and approvals in Peebles
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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 happens next
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
We visit your Peebles home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
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
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Common questions in Peebles
Do I need building regulations approval in Peebles?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Will my neighbours in Peebles 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.
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Peebles?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
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 Peebles, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
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.
