FREQUENTLY ASKED

House Building & Extensions questions

How much does an extension cost in Glasgow?

Costs depend on size, ground conditions and finish level. We provide an itemised fixed quotation after survey so there are no surprises.

Do you handle building warrants?

Yes. Drawings, structural calculations, warrant applications and completion certificates are all handled for you.

Do you carry out house building & extensions in Bearsden?

Yes — Bearsden (G61) is our home area and where we complete most of our house building & extensions work. We can usually survey within a few days, and because we are minutes away we keep site logistics, deliveries and skip placement tidy on residential streets like Kessington, Westerton and Canniesburn Toll.

How much does house building & extensions cost in Bearsden and Glasgow?

Costs depend on size, structure and specification rather than postcode, so we price house building & extensions from a measured survey and issue a fixed, itemised written quotation with a stage payment schedule. Bearsden and Glasgow projects are quoted on the same rates — there is no travel premium inside Greater Glasgow.

Which towns do you cover for house building & extensions?

We deliver house building & extensions across Bearsden, Glasgow, Milngavie, Paisley, Newton Mearns, Bishopbriggs, Giffnock, Kirkintilloch, Clydebank, Renfrew, East Kilbride, Hamilton and the surrounding Greater Glasgow towns, working from our Bearsden base with Bearsden and Glasgow as our main coverage.

Do I need planning permission or a building warrant for house building & extensions in my area?

It depends on the property and the council. We deal with East Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire building standards and planning departments, check your address against conservation area and permitted-development rules at survey, and prepare and submit any planning application or building warrant needed.

Can you match traditional Scottish sandstone, slate and render on house building & extensions projects?

Yes. Housing stock across Bearsden, Milngavie and Glasgow's West End is mostly blonde or red sandstone, wet-dash render and natural slate, so we source matched materials and lime-compatible mortar rather than patching in cement or modern substitutes.

How quickly can you visit for a free house building & extensions quote?

In Bearsden and Milngavie we can normally survey within 2 to 3 working days, and within about a week across Glasgow, Paisley and the wider area. Surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation.
