House Extensions in Irvine
Irvine is a large coastal town in North Ayrshire where the River Irvine meets the Firth of Clyde. It has a harbourside, a beach park and housing spread across many separate neighbourhoods. Homes here range from older town centre properties and new town estates.
An extension is usually the biggest single change you can make to a house without moving. One of our closest projects to Irvine is the open plan kitchen extension in Kilmarnock, about 7 miles away. We also work in Dreghorn, Kilwinning and Stevenston, close to Irvine.
Irvine is about 5 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. Planning and building warrant applications for Irvine go to North Ayrshire Council, and we deal with them for you.

Although the disruption surrounding building works is never pleasant, it has been a pleasure working with Oscar and Kris at Cutwood. ... the end result after 6 months work, certainly so far as the dormer is concerned, is better then we were hoping for.Martin H.Loft and garage conversion · Google review
