Bungalow rear extension in Saltcoats
Bungalow rear extension in Saltcoats: single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Saltcoats (KA20, KA21 and KA22) as part of our Ayrshire work. For Saltcoats bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Saltcoats?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Saltcoats is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 1A) covers many single-storey rear extensions, with a 3 metre eaves limit, a 4 metre height limit and, within 1 metre of a boundary, a depth limit of 3 metres for terraced houses or 4 metres for others. Conservation areas are excluded, and you need a building warrant whatever the planning position.
Scotland has no larger-extension prior approval route; extensions beyond permitted development need a planning application.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Saltcoats like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Saltcoats, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Saltcoats
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do you handle building control in Saltcoats?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
