Professional single storey extension services throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians
Single storey extension costs in Edinburgh typically range from £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre, depending on specification, finishes, and site conditions. A standard 20m² extension would cost between £30,000 and £50,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotes with no hidden costs.
Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development rights and don't require planning permission, provided they meet specific criteria regarding size, height, and proximity to boundaries. However, Edinburgh's conservation areas and listed buildings have stricter requirements. We'll assess your property and advise on planning requirements.
A typical single storey 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 material availability. We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins.
Foundation requirements depend on ground conditions, extension size, and proximity to existing structures. Most single storey extensions require strip foundations or trench fill foundations at a depth of 1-1.2 metres. We conduct site assessments and work with structural engineers to ensure proper foundation design.
Yes, we specialise in matching existing materials for seamless integration. We source matching bricks, roof tiles, and finishes to ensure your extension blends perfectly with your Edinburgh property. For period properties, we use reclaimed materials where appropriate to maintain authenticity.
A well-designed single storey extension typically adds 10-15% to property value in Edinburgh, often exceeding the construction cost. Extensions that create open-plan living spaces, add natural light, and improve flow are particularly valuable. We design extensions that maximise both functionality and resale value.
