Two-storey rear extension in Bellshill
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Bellshill. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Bellshill (ML1, ML4 and ML5) as part of our Lanarkshire work. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Bellshill best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Bellshill?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a two-storey rear extension in Bellshill.
Scottish Class 1B rights for extensions of more than one storey need a 10 metre gap to every boundary, which few gardens have. Expect a planning application as well as a building warrant for a double-storey rear extension.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Bellshill like to extend?
Bellshill has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
How a two-storey rear extension in Bellshill comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for the building warrant.

Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Bellshill
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Bellshill?
As a guide, £1,710–£2,560 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £51,500–£77,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can it be built on a terraced house?
Sometimes, but the upper floor is harder to get through planning on a terrace because of the effect on neighbours. A single-storey extension with a loft conversion is often an easier route.
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.
