A.C. Whyte & Co. Ltd has over 40 years’ experience as a main contractor in the major refurbishment of low and high rise occupied social housing for Local Authorities and Housing Associations across Scotland and the UK. In addition, refurbishment works have also been undertaken in a number of schools and commercial buildings. We are one of a small group of contractors that can deliver the majority of these works directly by employing experienced labour, therefore ensuring the highest level of workmanship.

Over the years we have worked closely with Local Authorities, and partners to develop a major refurbishment service that meets the evolving needs of our clients, always with a commitment to excellence. We are able to provide a complete external refurbishment solution with a variety of direct labour and sub-contract work packages, which vary depending on the individual project requirements.

We are proud to offer a detailed and comprehensive service, sometimes in complex and sensitive situations. By utilising the experience and range of skills of our professional team, we are able to offer our clients technical advice and support to solve problems and provide design solutions, at times resulting in cost savings to the client.
