An extension is usually the biggest single change you can make to a house without moving. We also work in Gourock, Helensburgh and Kilmacolm, close to Greenock.
Greenock is about 25 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. Planning and building warrant applications for Greenock go to Inverclyde Council, and we deal with them for you.
