Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about builders in the UK, not specific to any one business.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Most single-storey rear extensions under certain size limits are permitted development in Scotland. Two-storey extensions, side extensions and work close to boundaries typically need formal planning permission. Building control approval is always required.

What's the difference between planning permission and building control?

Planning permission checks whether a project fits local policy and neighbour impact. Building control ensures the work meets safety and structural standards. Both are usually needed for extensions, lofts and new builds in Scotland.

How long does a loft conversion typically take?

A straightforward loft conversion usually takes 8–12 weeks depending on complexity, weather and building control inspections. Difficult roof structures, party walls or utility relocation can add time.

Can I live in the house during renovations?

Yes, but major works like replumbing, rewiring and structural repairs are disruptive. Dust, noise, lack of facilities and safety hazards make occupation difficult. Many clients arrange temporary accommodation during heavy phases.

What should I check before starting a new build?

Secure land ownership, obtain planning permission, arrange building control registration, check drainage and utilities access, and confirm ground stability. Proper surveys and legal searches protect against hidden problems.
