Planning and approvals in Rutherglen
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 Rutherglen address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
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.
Extensions in and around Rutherglen
Across G73, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Cambuslang (2 miles), East Kilbride (5 miles), Blantyre (5 miles), Coatbridge (8 miles).
Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.
What we take care of
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances

Kitchen extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Rutherglen 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Rutherglen, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a kitchen extension in Rutherglen?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
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 Rutherglen, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
