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).
For homes towards Dunbartonshire, Bishopbriggs is around 5 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.
Planning rules that apply in Rutherglen
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.

How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
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.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Your questions about a porch extension in Rutherglen
Do I need building regulations approval in Rutherglen?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. In Scotland that means a building warrant before work starts.
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.
Do you cover all of Rutherglen?
Yes. We cover Rutherglen and the surrounding parts of Lanarkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £3,900 to £14,700 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.
