Projects in the Highlands are taken on by arrangement, and any travel and accommodation costs for the team are shown openly in the quote.
Homes in the Highlands
Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.
What is a kitchen extension?
A kitchen extension is a single-storey extension designed around a new kitchen, usually creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that opens onto the garden. Planning the kitchen layout at the same time as the building means the drains, steels, windows and power end up where the kitchen needs them.
- Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
How much should I budget for a kitchen extension?
What kitchen extensions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| Kitchen extensions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Extension build | £2,600 to £4,000 per m² |
| Kitchen supply and fit, mid-range | £10,000 to £20,000 |
| Kitchen supply and fit, high-end | £20,000 to £40,000 |
What approvals does a kitchen 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.
Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.
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.
What are the steps?
- 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.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Kitchen extensions: common questions
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
The build is usually £2,600 to £4,000 per square metre including VAT, and the kitchen adds roughly £10,000 to £40,000 depending on the units, worktops and appliances.
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.
Who deals with the council for a project in Inverness?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
