Kitchen-diner rear extension in Nigg
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We design, get the approvals for and build kitchen-diner rear extensions in Nigg and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Nigg and its postcode districts AB10, AB11 and AB12 are part of our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Nigg extend: the back kitchen in sandstone villas, semis and four-in-a-block flats is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Nigg?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Nigg follows the Scottish householder rules.
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 Nigg like to extend?
Nigg 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.

Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Nigg house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
