Working in Arbroath
Across DD11, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Montrose (14 miles), Forfar (14 miles), Dundee (16 miles).
Just over the Fife border, St Andrews is about 17 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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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.
Included in a typical project
- Insulation to current building regulations
- Roof design matched to the existing pitch and tiles
- Vaulted ceilings or flat ceilings with storage above
- Lead or proprietary flashings to the main wall
- Roof windows positioned for light and ventilation
Matching tiles is harder than it sounds. We source reclaimed or closest-match tiles where the originals are no longer made and agree samples with you before ordering.

Common questions in Arbroath
Do I need building regulations approval in Arbroath?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
Do you cover all of Arbroath?
Yes. We cover Arbroath and the surrounding parts of Angus and Dundee. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a pitched roof extension in Arbroath?
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.
Can I have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,810 to £3,430 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
