We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Bishopbriggs?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Bishopbriggs follows the Scottish householder rules.
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.
There is no Party Wall Act in Scotland; neighbour matters are handled through the title deeds, common law and written agreement before work starts.
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 Bishopbriggs like to extend?
Bishopbriggs 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. In Bishopbriggs we plan the delivery route through the house and the skip licence before anything else.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Bishopbriggs
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bishopbriggs house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How do you keep the house clean?
Dust screens, floor protection and a single protected route through the house.
How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Bishopbriggs?
As a guide, £1,950–£3,140 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4.5 m deep (13.5 m²): about £26,500–£42,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
