Kitchen extensions in the Highlands

Covering The Highlands

We cover the Highlands, including Inverness, Fort William, Nairn and Thurso, and the towns around them.

Because the Highlands covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.

Homes in the Highlands

In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.

What do you get with a kitchen extension?

We design the room and the kitchen together, so the island, sink and appliances line up with the structure rather than fighting it. You can use your own kitchen supplier or have us supply and fit one. Either way we co-ordinate the trades so the room is finished in one sequence.

How is a kitchen extension approved in the Highlands?

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.

Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered. Whatever the planning position, you need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate at the end.

What can change the price or programme?

Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
Underfloor heating suits large kitchen-diners with glazed walls.

Questions about a kitchen extension in the Highlands

How long will we be without a kitchen?

Usually only the final few weeks, when the old kitchen comes out and the wall is opened. We can help set up a temporary kitchen.

Is underfloor heating worth it?

In large open-plan rooms with big glazed doors it frees up wall space and heats evenly. We include it as an option.

Can you visit a house in the Highlands to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
