Milngavie sits directly next to our Bearsden base, so G62 is effectively local work for us. The town mixes traditional stone villas around the town centre with post-war and modern detached housing in Craigton, Barloch and Clober, and the briefs follow that split: sympathetic extensions and re-roofing on older properties, open-plan reconfiguration and garden rooms on newer ones.
Being a few minutes away means we can survey quickly, return for snagging without delay, and keep a compact site on narrow residential streets. All trades — construction, roofing, joinery, home improvements, building services and external works — are delivered by the same team.
Also covering nearby: Craigton, Clober, Barloch, Dougalston, Mugdock, Bearsden (G61).

"LK Design Construction transformed our dusty attic into a stunning master bedroom. The team was punctual, polite, and the finish quality is hotel-standard. They handled all the council permits too, which was a huge relief."
