Two-storey rear extension in Cambuslang
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Cambuslang. 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 Cambuslang (G73) as part of our Lanarkshire work. In Lanarkshire we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Cambuslang?
For Cambuslang we work from the Scotland rate: £1,710–£2,560 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. Prices in Scotland sit a little below our West Midlands baseline; building warrant fees and drawings are budgeted separately.

| 4 m × 6 m footprint, two floors (48 m²) | £82,000–£123,000 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Cambuslang?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a two-storey rear extension in Cambuslang.
In Scotland an extension of more than one storey is only permitted development (Class 1B) if no part is within 10 metres of any boundary and it is no higher than the existing house, so almost every two-storey rear extension needs planning permission and a building warrant.
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 Cambuslang like to extend?
Cambuslang 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.

We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Cambuslang
Do you handle building control in Cambuslang?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Is the site visit in Cambuslang free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.
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 planning permission for a rear extension in Cambuslang?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
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.
