Kitchen-diner rear extension in Ayr
Kitchen-diner rear extension in Ayr: an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Ayr (KA7, KA8 and KA9) as part of our Ayrshire work. We usually keep the working kitchen where the old one was and put the dining table in the new space by the doors, which suits most Ayr homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Ayr?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Ayr follows the Scottish householder rules.
In Scotland a single-storey rear extension can be permitted development under Class 1A: eaves no higher than 3 metres and an overall height of 4 metres, and where any part is within 1 metre of a boundary it can project no more than 3 metres on a terraced house or 4 metres on other houses. The rights do not apply in conservation areas, and a building warrant is still needed before work starts.
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. 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 Ayr like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Ayr, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
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
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Ayr
Can you match the brick or stone on my Ayr house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Ayr?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Is the site visit in Ayr free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Ayr?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
