Building Regulations for rear extensions in Lanarkshire
Construction drawings, structural calculations and building control through to the completion certificate. We design and build rear extensions across Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride and Hamilton to Meikle Earnock, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Lanarkshire, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
What does it cost in Lanarkshire?
As a guide, £2,500–£5,500 including VAT. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
What approvals does it need in Lanarkshire?
Scottish extensions are approved by building warrant, granted by the council's building standards team before work begins, with a completion certificate submitted when the work is finished.
Insulation and glazing follow Section 6 of the Scottish Technical Handbook; the building warrant drawings show how the extension meets it.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
