Homes in Perth and Kinross
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What is included in a double-storey extension in Kinross?
A double-storey extension adds new rooms on both the ground and first floor in one build, typically a larger kitchen or living space downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom above. Because the roof and foundations are shared, the cost per square metre is usually lower than a single-storey extension.
- Measured survey, design and planning drawings
- Windows, insulation, plastering, electrics and plumbing
- Joining the new first floor to the existing landing

What approvals does a double-storey extension need in Scotland?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
Two-storey extensions in Scotland almost always need planning permission, and a building warrant must be granted before work starts.
What can change the price or programme?
- The new roof is tied into the old one, so roof tiles and ridge details need to match.
- The first-floor link can mean moving a bathroom or reshaping the landing.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
