Kitchen-diner rear extensions in Perth and Kinross
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. Rear extensions in Perth and Kinross: we cover 5 towns including Perth, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
For Perth kitchens we plan the extraction route and the island drainage before the slab is poured, so nothing has to be chased in later. Perth and Kinross 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.

Do you need planning permission in Perth and Kinross?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
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.
Can I have underfloor heating?
Yes. Wet underfloor heating in the new screed is the usual choice, often with the old room's radiators kept or replaced.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
Do you cover all of Perth and Kinross?
We cover 5 towns and districts in Perth and Kinross, including Perth, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff.
