Renfrew is a compact town of interwar and post-war semis, terraces and newer riverside developments around Ferry Village, Moorpark and Dean Park. Rear extensions, dormer loft conversions, re-roofing and kitchen and bathroom remodels make up most of what we are asked to price in PA4.
It is the same council as Paisley, so the Renfrewshire planning and warrant route is well trodden for us. Our own trades cover the structure, roof, joinery, plumbing, electrics and finishes, which keeps a Renfrew build on one programme with one point of contact.
Local notes for Renfrew properties
Applications go to Renfrewshire Council, the same authority as our Paisley work.
Exposed river-side plots in Renfrew need careful attention to weathering, flashings and rainwater goods on any new roof or extension.
Interwar semis in PA4 commonly suit a rear dormer loft conversion with an escape window and protected stair.
Newer estate housing near Ferry Village often needs no more than a permitted-development check for a single-storey rear addition.
Also covering nearby: Ferry Village, Moorpark, Dean Park, Blythswood, Inchinnan, Paisley (PA1).
Renfrew pricing covers PA4 interwar and post-war semis plus newer riverside housing. Exposed plots need better weathering detail, which is allowed for in roofing and extension ranges.

Yes, and running them in one programme usually saves on plumbing, electrical and decorating time compared with two separate visits.

Yes. We are based in Bearsden and work in Renfrew regularly, covering Ferry Village, Moorpark, Dean Park, Blythswood and the rest of the Renfrewshire area. That means quick surveys, local references and a team that knows the housing stock here.

"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."
