Newington's large Victorian terraced and semi-detached properties have significant potential for extensions and internal reconfigurations. Some areas have conservation designations which our team is very experienced in navigating. Our team brings deep local knowledge of Newington properties, Edinburgh planning requirements, and the specialist skills needed to extend homes in this area to the very highest standard.

Many extensions in Newington fall under permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission. However, you'll always need a building warrant from Edinburgh Council. Conservation areas or listed buildings require planning consent — we assess this and handle all applications on your behalf.
Planning and building warrant approval takes 8–12 weeks. Construction of a single storey extension typically takes 8–12 weeks, two storey extensions 12–16 weeks. We provide a detailed programme during the design stage.
Absolutely. Matching Edinburgh's distinctive stone is something we specialise in. We source matching stone, brick, roof tiles and windows to ensure your extension integrates seamlessly with your existing Newington property.
Yes — the vast majority of our Newington clients stay in their homes throughout construction. We create weatherproof barriers, maintain site access, and minimise disruption at every stage.
