House Extensions in Houston
Houston is a village in Renfrewshire, a few miles north-west of Johnstone.
An extension is usually the biggest single change you can make to a house without moving. One of our closest projects to Houston is the open plan kitchen extension in Kilmarnock, about 18 miles away. We also work in Bridge of Weir, Linwood and Johnstone, close to Houston.
Houston is about 18 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. Planning and building warrant applications for Houston go to Renfrewshire Council, and we deal with them for you.
