Homes in Moray
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What goes into a double-storey extension?
Two-storey work has to sit comfortably with the house and the neighbours, so most of the design effort goes into the roofline, window positions and how the new first floor connects to the landing. We handle the planning application, the structural design and the building control process, then build, roof and finish both floors.

- Foundations, steelwork, brick and block walls, roof

How is a double-storey extension approved in Lossiemouth?
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
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.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.

- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
