Dundee and Angus
Knocking through to a rear extension in Dundee and Angus
Steel beams, padstones and props to open the back of the house safely. Across Dundee and Angus we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Dundee, Arbroath and Forfar.
Older houses in Dundee and Angus often have solid brick back walls carrying a lot of weight, so the steel design comes early.

Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
