Home Improvements

Home Improvements services in Glasgow by LK Design Construction
OUR SERVICES

The rooms you actually live in.

Home improvements are where craftsmanship is seen every single day. We design and install kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms, and deliver the plastering, tiling, flooring, decoration and glazing that surround them.

Because every trade is ours, there is no waiting on a tiler or a decorator — the programme is continuous and the finish is consistent throughout the house.

Bespoke cabinetry, stone worktops, tanked wet rooms, mirror-flat plaster, precision tiling and slim-profile glazing, all installed by our own trades and finished to a level you would expect from a high-end hotel.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Home Improvements questions

How long does a new kitchen or bathroom take?

A full kitchen installation typically takes 3 to 4 weeks and a bathroom or wet room 2 to 3 weeks, including tiling and decoration.

Can I supply my own units or tiles?

Yes. We are happy to install client-supplied materials and will advise on quantities and suitability before you order.

Will I be without water or cooking facilities?

We plan isolations so water and heating are off for hours, not days, and can set up a temporary kitchen point where needed.

Do you carry out home improvements in Bearsden?

Yes — Bearsden (G61) is our home area and where we complete most of our home improvements work. We can usually survey within a few days, and because we are minutes away we keep site logistics, deliveries and skip placement tidy on residential streets like Kessington, Westerton and Canniesburn Toll.

How much does home improvements cost in Bearsden and Glasgow?

Costs depend on size, structure and specification rather than postcode, so we price home improvements from a measured survey and issue a fixed, itemised written quotation with a stage payment schedule. Bearsden and Glasgow projects are quoted on the same rates — there is no travel premium inside Greater Glasgow.

Which towns do you cover for home improvements?

We deliver home improvements across Bearsden, Glasgow, Milngavie, Paisley, Newton Mearns, Bishopbriggs, Giffnock, Kirkintilloch, Clydebank, Renfrew, East Kilbride, Hamilton and the surrounding Greater Glasgow towns, working from our Bearsden base with Bearsden and Glasgow as our main coverage.

Do I need planning permission or a building warrant for home improvements in my area?

It depends on the property and the council. We deal with East Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire building standards and planning departments, check your address against conservation area and permitted-development rules at survey, and prepare and submit any planning application or building warrant needed.

Can you match traditional Scottish sandstone, slate and render on home improvements projects?

Yes. Housing stock across Bearsden, Milngavie and Glasgow's West End is mostly blonde or red sandstone, wet-dash render and natural slate, so we source matched materials and lime-compatible mortar rather than patching in cement or modern substitutes.

How quickly can you visit for a free home improvements quote?

In Bearsden and Milngavie we can normally survey within 2 to 3 working days, and within about a week across Glasgow, Paisley and the wider area. Surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation.
