Working in Haddington
Haddington, East Lothian's county town, is around a fifteen-minute drive from our base in Tranent. It has one of the best-preserved historic centres in the area, with Georgian and Victorian buildings along the High Street and around the River Tyne, as well as newer family housing developments around the town.
Work in Haddington often comes in two kinds. In the older parts of town people want sympathetic renovation: joinery that suits the age of the building, floors that are levelled without losing character, and storage built to fit awkward alcoves. On the newer estates the requests are about space and finish: garage conversions, loft rooms, extensions, kitchens and media walls.
Whatever the job, Gordon Rollo and Craig Pucko, the two partners, with over 25 years each, price it and carry it out themselves. You get a free quote, no deposit and weekly payment, so it's simple to plan around.
Homes we work on in Haddington
Georgian and Victorian townhouses
Thick stone walls, tall ceilings and original timber. These homes reward joinery that is made to measure and fitted with care.
Conservation area cottages
Smaller older homes where every alcove and step is slightly different. Bespoke wardrobes and careful renovation work are common requests.
Newer family estates
Modern homes with garages, roof space and open living areas that suit conversions, extensions and media walls.

Things to know
Common issues with Haddington homes
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Much of central Haddington is a conservation area and many buildings are listed. External changes and some internal work may need consent. Permissions and building warrants are the client's responsibility, but we'll point out early where they're likely to apply.
River Tyne and damp
Low-lying homes near the river can suffer from damp. Timber floors and skirtings should be checked before new joinery goes in, and the cause of any damp dealt with first.
Uneven floors and walls
Older stone homes settle over the years. Levelling floors and scribing joinery is essential for a finish that looks right.
Roof structures in older homes
Older roofs may have different timbers and pitches from modern homes, which affects whether a loft conversion is practical. An engineer's input is often needed.

Questions
Haddington FAQs
Do you serve Haddington?
Yes. Haddington is part of our regular working area. We're based at 13 Appleby Drive, Macmerry, Tranent and Haddington is around fifteen minutes away, so we work in Haddington throughout the year on everything from single doors to full house builds.

How much does joinery or building work cost in Haddington?
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 Haddington?
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 Haddington?
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 on listed buildings in Haddington?
We can carry out joinery work on older and listed properties. Any consents needed are the client's responsibility, and we'll follow the approved details.
Can you build wardrobes into alcoves in an old house?
Yes. Bespoke wardrobes are made to fit the exact space, including alcoves and sloping ceilings that off-the-shelf units can't handle.
