Bearsden is our home patch, and most weeks you will find our vans somewhere between Kessington, Westerton and Canniesburn Toll. The G61 housing stock is a mix of interwar sandstone villas, 1930s bungalows and larger detached homes with generous rear gardens — which is exactly why single-storey rear extensions, garden rooms and dormer loft conversions are the work we are asked about most here.
Because we are minutes away, we can survey a Bearsden property quickly, keep a site tidy on a residential street, and stage deliveries so neighbours are not blocked in. Every trade we list under services is delivered by our own accountable team, so a Bearsden extension, its roofing, joinery, electrics, plumbing and final decoration all sit with one point of contact.

Bearsden pricing is driven by the G61 housing stock: sandstone and rendered villas need matched materials, and interwar bungalows suit hip-to-gable loft work. Ranges below are what comparable Bearsden projects have typically cost.
| Project | Indicative cost | Time on site | What affects the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-storey rear extension | GBP 65,000 – 95,000 | 12–16 weeks | Matched render or stone detailing and garden access staging. |
| Two-storey / side extension | GBP 110,000 – 170,000 | 20–28 weeks | Roof tie-in and East Dunbartonshire warrant included. |
| Loft conversion with dormer | GBP 45,000 – 70,000 | 10–14 weeks | Hip-to-gable on bungalows adds gable rebuild cost. |
| Whole-house refurbishment | GBP 90,000 – 150,000 | 16–24 weeks | Cornice retention and lime-compatible repairs. |
| Full slate re-roof | GBP 18,000 – 32,000 | 3–5 weeks | Natural slate, new leadwork and rainwater goods. |

Many single-storey rear extensions in Bearsden fall under permitted development, but height, depth and boundary distances all matter, and conservation or tree protection designations change the answer. We check the specifics at survey and submit to East Dunbartonshire Council when consent is needed.
A typical Bearsden dormer loft conversion runs 8 to 12 weeks on site once the building warrant is in place, depending on whether a new bathroom and structural steel are involved.
Yes. We source matching stone and use lime-compatible mortar so repairs and openings read as part of the original wall rather than a patch.

We do. Applications for Bearsden go to East Dunbartonshire Council, and we prepare the drawings, structural calculations and warrant package, deal with building standards inspections and hand over the completion certificate.

"LK Design Construction transformed our dusty attic into a stunning master bedroom. The team was punctual, polite, and the finish quality is hotel-standard. They handled all the council permits too, which was a huge relief."
