Strathaven is about 19 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. Planning and building warrant applications for Strathaven go to South Lanarkshire 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
