Local to Vale of Leven
Site visits are available across Vale of Leven (G82). Nearby, we also take on projects in Dumbarton (2 miles), Clydebank (8 miles), Bearsden (10 miles), Bishopbriggs (15 miles).
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.
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.
The planning position for a specific Vale of Leven 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.

Pitched roof extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Vale of Leven, 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 Vale of Leven?
Yes. We cover Vale of Leven and the surrounding parts of Dunbartonshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Vale of Leven 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 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.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
