Working in Musselburgh
Musselburgh is a short drive west from our base in Tranent, and it's one of the towns we work in most. The "Honest Toun" has a bit of everything: tenement flats and older terraces near the High Street and Fisherrow, Victorian and Edwardian villas, plenty of ex-council homes and newer developments on the edges of town.
That variety means the work varies too. In older Musselburgh homes we're often asked to open up small rooms, replace tired joinery and lay new floors. In family houses the focus tends to be on extra space: a loft conversion, a single-storey extension at the back or a garage turned into a living room or office.
Because we're nearby, we can visit to look at your job and give you a free quote without a long wait for a slot in the diary. Gordon Rollo and Craig Pucko, the two partners, carry out the work themselves, so you deal with the same people from the first conversation to the finished job.
Homes we work on in Musselburgh
Tenements and older terraces
Common near the town centre and Fisherrow. Work here often involves internal doors, flooring, kitchens and careful renovation that respects older features.
Victorian and Edwardian villas
Larger homes with high ceilings and original timber detail. They suit sympathetic joinery, bespoke storage and kitchen or extension work at the rear.
Ex-council and modern family homes
Practical homes that respond well to loft conversions, garage conversions, extensions and media walls.

Things to know
Common issues with Musselburgh homes
Coastal damp and the River Esk
Being on the coast and the river means some Musselburgh homes deal with damp, particularly in older ground-floor rooms. Timber needs to be checked before new floors or joinery go in, and any underlying damp should be dealt with first.
Shared buildings and access
Tenements and flats bring shared stairs, neighbours and limited parking. We plan deliveries and noisy work to keep disruption to a minimum and keep common areas clean.
Older features worth keeping
Many older homes still have original skirtings, architraves and doors. Where they're sound we can repair or match them rather than rip everything out.
Planning and conservation
Parts of Musselburgh fall within conservation areas, which can affect external changes such as extensions and windows. Permissions and building warrants are the client's responsibility, but we'll tell you early if we think you'll need them.

Questions
Musselburgh FAQs
Do you serve Musselburgh?
Yes. Musselburgh is part of our regular working area. We're based at 13 Appleby Drive, Macmerry, Tranent and Musselburgh is a short drive west, so we work in Musselburgh throughout the year on everything from single doors to full house builds.
How fast can you reach Musselburgh?
Musselburgh 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 Musselburgh?
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 Musselburgh?
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 Musselburgh?
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.
Can you work in a Musselburgh tenement flat?
Yes. We regularly work in flats and plan around shared stairs, neighbours and parking so the job runs smoothly.
Can you match older joinery in a Victorian house?
Often, yes. Where original skirtings, architraves or doors are sound we can repair them or match new pieces as closely as possible.
