Kitchen-diner rear extension in Rutherglen
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Rutherglen. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Rutherglen sits in Lanarkshire, with postcode districts including G72 and G73. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen like to extend?
Rutherglen 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.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Rutherglen
Is the site visit in Rutherglen free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Rutherglen house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Should the sink face the garden?
If the plan allows, an island sink or hob facing the glass is a common choice. It needs a floor-level drain run, which is easy to lay in a new slab.
What postcode areas do you cover around Rutherglen?
Including G72 and G73, and the surrounding Lanarkshire area.
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 you handle building control in Rutherglen?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
