Working in Dunbar
Dunbar sits on the east of our working area, around thirty minutes from our base in Tranent. The town has a historic harbour, a High Street lined with older stone buildings, and a lot of newer housing that has been built as the town has grown.
That mix means a wide range of work. Newer Dunbar homes often need more space or a better finish: garage conversions, loft rooms, extensions, media walls and new flooring. Older stone properties near the centre and harbour usually call for renovation: opening up rooms, new joinery and floors that are properly levelled.
Gordon Rollo and Craig Pucko, our two partners, have over 25 years each in the trade. They price your job and do the work themselves. There's no deposit to pay, you pay weekly for work completed, and there are no hidden costs.

Things to know
Common issues with Dunbar homes
Strong coastal winds
Dunbar is one of the most exposed spots on the East Lothian coast. External doors and timber need to be well fitted and properly protected, and draughts are common in older homes.
Older stone walls
Stone walls can hold damp and are rarely straight. Joinery has to be scribed to fit and any damp issues dealt with first.
New-build garages
Integral garages on newer estates usually need the floor raised and insulated, the walls insulated and the door opening filled before they become a warm room.
Rural access and services
Homes outside town may have tricky access for deliveries and limited services, which needs to be planned into the job.

Questions
Dunbar FAQs
Do you serve Dunbar?
Yes. Dunbar is part of our regular working area. We're based at 13 Appleby Drive, Macmerry, Tranent and Dunbar is around thirty minutes away, so we work in Dunbar throughout the year on everything from single doors to full house builds.
How fast can you reach Dunbar?
Dunbar is local to us, so getting there is never the issue. How soon we can visit to price your job, and when we can start, depends on our current bookings; call 07841 419343 or send the quote form and we'll give you an honest answer straight away.
How much does joinery or building work cost in Dunbar?
Every job is different, so we don't publish set prices. We visit, look at what you need and give you a free, written quote with no hidden costs. There's no deposit to pay, and you pay weekly as the work progresses, so you only ever pay for work that's been done.
Do you offer emergency call-outs in Dunbar?
We're a joinery and building firm that plans and carries out projects, not an emergency call-out service. If you have an urgent problem, call us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help and how soon.
Do I need a building warrant for my project in Dunbar?
Many conversions, extensions and structural changes need a building warrant from East Lothian Council, and some need planning permission. Getting the warrant is the client's responsibility, but we'll tell you early on if we think your project needs one and work to the approved drawings once you have it.
Do you ask for a deposit?
No. We never ask for a deposit. You pay weekly for the work completed that week, so you can see exactly where your money is going.
Do you work in villages around Dunbar?
Yes. We cover the whole of East Lothian, including villages such as East Linton, Stenton and Innerwick.
Can you build a full house near Dunbar?
Yes. We carry out full house builds managed by the two partners. Planning permission and building warrants are the client's responsibility.
