Planning rules that apply in Wishaw
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 Wishaw 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.
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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
Included in a typical project
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Opening into the main house
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.

Bathgate, in Edinburgh and the Lothians, is roughly 14 miles from Wishaw and also on our list. Across Scotland, extensions follow Scottish planning and building standards, including the building warrant process, which we build into the programme from the start.

We visit your Wishaw home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.

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.
Orangery extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Wishaw?
Yes. We cover Wishaw and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Wishaw?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Wishaw?
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.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,350 to £4,410 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £43,500 to £55,000 in Wishaw.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
