Many rear extensions fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission, provided they meet specific criteria regarding size, height, and distance from boundaries. However, Edinburgh's conservation areas, listed buildings, and flats have stricter requirements. We assess your property and advise on planning requirements.
A typical rear extension in Edinburgh takes 12-16 weeks from start to completion, including groundworks, construction, roofing, and internal finishing. Timeline depends on extension size, complexity, weather conditions, and whether planning permission is required. We provide realistic project schedules with clear milestones.
Yes, bi-fold doors and sliding doors are popular choices for rear extensions, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow and flooding the space with natural light. We install high-performance aluminium bi-fold and sliding door systems with excellent thermal efficiency and security. These are ideal for connecting to gardens and patios.
Under permitted development in Edinburgh, single storey rear extensions can extend up to 4 metres for detached houses and 3 metres for semi-detached or terraced houses. Height restrictions also apply. Conservation areas and listed buildings have different rules. We assess your property and advise on maximum permitted dimensions.
A well-designed rear extension typically adds 10-15% to property value in Edinburgh, often exceeding the construction cost. Rear extensions that create open-plan kitchen-diners with garden access are particularly valuable. Extensions with quality finishes, natural light, and seamless integration provide the best return on investment.
