Single-storey extensions in Haddington

Covering Haddington

Haddington sits 29 miles east of Livingston, with Musselburgh 10 miles to the west and Dalkeith 12 miles to the west.

Homes in the Lothians

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 goes into a single-storey extension?

We design the extension around how you use the house: where the light comes from, how the new room joins the old one, and what happens to the drains and the garden. The structure is built in brick or block to match the house, finished with a flat roof and lantern or a pitched roof, then insulated, plastered and handed back ready to decorate.

Planning and building rules in Haddington

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 can affect a single-storey extension?

Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
Kitchens and doors have long lead times, so we order them early.

Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.

Questions about a single-storey extension in Haddington

Can we stay in the house during the build?

Usually yes. We keep the existing house closed off from the works until the knock-through near the end, and agree a temporary kitchen set-up with you if the kitchen is affected.

Will the brick match?

We source the closest available match for colour, size and texture and agree a sample panel with you before laying.

Can you visit a house in Haddington 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.
