Homes in Lanarkshire

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 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.

What is the guide price for a kitchen extension in Motherwell?

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

How is a kitchen extension approved in Motherwell?

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.

Scotland has its own householder permitted development rules, and small single-storey rear extensions are often covered.

What should Motherwell homeowners check first?

Islands with sinks or hobs need drainage and power routed in the slab.
Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.

From first call to completion

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

What people ask before starting

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 Motherwell 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.
