Need more space but reluctant to leave the neighbourhood you love? 🏡

Between Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), estate agent fees, and moving costs, relocating in Edinburgh is an expensive process. For many households, extending your existing property is often a far more practical, cost-effective way to get the extra room you need without uprooting your family.

A well-planned extension can add up to 20% to your home’s value, provide a dedicated work-from-home space, or deliver the open-plan kitchen and dining layout you’ve been planning.

Whether you are considering a single-storey rear extension, a side addition, or a two-storey build, our latest article breaks down the practical reasons to extend and the different build types available.

Roof windows can capture up to three times more natural daylight than standard vertical windows of the same size.

If you have a dark hallway, kitchen, or stairwell, adding a roof window or skylight is an efficient way to make the space feel instantly bigger and brighter. We manage the structural details and regulatory approvals to keep the process hassle-free.

There’s a lot of interest in garden room extensions at the moment due to a number of factors. Due to recent worldwide events people are looking at ways to improve their home and make better use of the space they have.

Also, with the future of travel looking blurry having nice ways to spend a summers’ day or night close to home is attractive. If you’re lucky enough to have a sizable garden it’s a good way to use a part that really doesn’t serve a purpose other than to be added to your list of maintenance activities!
