House Extensions in Edinburgh
Single and two-storey extensions, from drawings and warrant to the completion certificate.
House Extensions in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, on the south shore of the Firth of Forth. It has tenement flats in the Old Town, Georgian terraces in the New Town and suburbs spreading out beyond. Homes here range from tenements, Georgian terraces, villas and bungalows.
For most families the extension becomes the room the whole house is used from. We also work in Livingston, Linlithgow and Falkirk, close to Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is about 57 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. Planning and building warrant applications for Edinburgh go to City of Edinburgh Council, and we deal with them for you.
