Frequently Asked Questions — Extension Builders in Livingston
Do I need a building warrant for an extension in Livingston?
Yes — almost all extensions in Scotland require a building warrant from your local council. This is separate from planning permission. Your builder should handle the building warrant application, working with a structural engineer for drawings and calculations.
How much does a house extension cost in Livingston?
A single-storey rear extension typically costs £1,200–£1,800 per square metre; two-storey £1,000–£1,500 per sqm. A typical 4m × 5m single-storey extension might cost £25,000–£45,000 all-in. Always get at least 3 detailed quotes.
Do Livingston extension builders cover surrounding areas?
Yes — most extension builders based in Livingston cover the wider district including Bathgate, Linlithgow, Glasgow, Falkirk and surrounding areas. Some also cover the wider Central Belt.
What qualifications should an extension builder in Livingston have?
Your builder should carry public liability insurance (at least £2 million), employer's liability if they have staff, and provide references. FMB or NHBC membership is a good sign. They should manage building warrants, structural engineers, and building control inspections.
How do I compare quotes from Livingston extension builders?
Get at least 3 written quotes and compare: specification of foundations, blockwork, roof, windows, and finishes; building warrant inclusion; structural engineer's fees; payment schedule; timeline; and defects liability period.
