Joined-up delivery
A clear route from early ideas and practical planning through to the finishing details.
More space. More possibility.
Extensions that feel part of the home.
A successful extension should do more than add square metres. We focus on flow, natural light and joinery detail so the new space feels as though it has always belonged.

Layouts shaped around how your family cooks, gathers, works and relaxes.
Finishing matters
Careful transitions, crisp lines and crafted timber details bring the whole space together.
From plans to progress
A clear build starts with clear information.
Good working drawings give everyone involved the same understanding of what is being built, how the new structure meets the existing home and where the important details sit.
Before work begins, the extension team should be able to follow a coordinated package rather than make major decisions ad hoc on site. Depending on the project, that information may include general arrangement plans, elevations, building sections, structural details, opening sizes, levels, materials and schedules for windows and doors.
We review the construction information through a joiner’s and builder’s eyes: checking buildability, identifying awkward junctions and making sure the details that affect the finished space have been considered.
What could the space become?
House extensions shaped around how you want to live.
The right extension responds to the home you already have. It might create one generous room, resolve a difficult layout or combine several smaller improvements into a coherent new part of the house.
01
Rear and side extensions
Extend into underused garden or side space to create a larger kitchen, dining room, family area, utility or flexible ground-floor room.
02
Open-plan kitchen extensions
Bring cooking, dining and gathering together while coordinating the kitchen layout, glazing, lighting, storage and access to the garden from the outset.
03
Glazed garden connections
Use carefully positioned windows, rooflights and doors to bring in daylight, frame useful views and make the garden feel like a natural continuation of the room.
04
Extension and internal remodelling
Rework the rooms beside the new addition so circulation, storage and everyday functions improve throughout the ground floor—not only inside the new footprint.
Professional preparation
The information behind a well-run extension project.
Every project is different, but the same principle applies: resolve important questions in the right order and give the people carrying out the work reliable information.
Survey and brief
Understand the existing property, available space, access, services and what the household needs the extension to achieve.
Design and approvals
Develop proportion, layout and appearance, then establish the planning permission and building warrant route appropriate to the proposal.
Structural coordination
Coordinate foundations, beams, roof structure and enlarged openings with the architectural layout and relevant engineering information.
Construction details
Confirm levels, junctions, insulation, glazing, doors, finishes and service positions before those decisions affect progress on site.
Local extension work
House extensions in Livingston and across West Lothian.
West Lothian includes modern estates, traditional stone properties and homes that have already evolved through earlier alterations. A successful extension responds to that context. Roof form, external materials, window proportions and the connection between old and new all influence whether the addition feels settled and intentional.
In Livingston, many projects focus on creating a larger kitchen-dining room, adding practical utility space or improving the relationship between the house and garden. Elsewhere across West Lothian, the same needs may sit within older or more individual properties that require a particularly careful approach to structure and external detailing.
We serve homeowners in Livingston and throughout West Lothian, including Bathgate, Linlithgow and surrounding communities. Project availability depends on scope and location, so the best starting point is to share your postcode and a concise outline of the work.

Useful to know
Questions about extensions.
If yours isn’t answered here, send it with your enquiry.
Yes. We undertake home extension projects in Livingston and across West Lothian, subject to project fit and availability.
Yes. We can discuss layout, materials, joinery details and practical buildability, then coordinate with your architect, architectural designer and structural engineer where those professionals are required.
Some extensions can fall within permitted development rights, while others require a planning application. The answer depends on the property, location, scale and previous alterations. We recommend confirming the current position for your specific home before construction.
Yes. Planning considers how a proposal affects the property and surrounding area; a building warrant addresses compliance with applicable building standards. A project may need one, both or, in limited cases, neither.
The programme depends on size, structure, ground conditions, approvals, product lead times and the amount of internal alteration. Once the design information and scope are clear, we can discuss a realistic sequence for your project rather than offer a generic timescale.
Yes. Coordinating the extension and kitchen early helps align drainage, electrics, lighting, glazing, storage and circulation so the completed room works as one considered space.
