Working in Cambuslang
Across G72, G73, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Rutherglen (2 miles), Blantyre (3 miles), East Kilbride (3 miles), Bellshill (6 miles).
For homes towards Dunbartonshire, Bishopbriggs is around 7 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 a small porch can be permitted development (Class 1C) within limits on floor area, height and distance from a road; larger porches need planning permission, and building standards still apply, so we check whether a building warrant is needed.
The planning position for a specific Cambuslang 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.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
