What is included in a kitchen extension in Nairn?
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.
- Steelwork, roof, glazing and insulation
- Kitchen fitting, worktop templating and appliances
- Tiling, flooring and decoration-ready finish

Planning and building rules in Nairn
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
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 should Nairn 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.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Kitchen extensions: common questions
Can I use my own kitchen company?
Yes. We work to their drawings and co-ordinate delivery and fitting dates.
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.
