Renovation forbuildings worthgetting right.
Allied Development specialises in complex structural alterations within Edinburgh's listed Georgian and Victorian properties, preserving their historic character throughout.
View our workComplex structural alterations and listed-building work are our specialism. It's the project we're built for, and where over a century of combined trade experience shows.
Heritage structural renovation specialists
Listed buildings. Period properties. Structural change.
Many of our proudest projects sit inside Edinburgh's New Town or a similarly protected setting, work that demands listed building consent, sympathetic detailing informed by Historic Environment Scotland's guidance, and a team who has done it before. From steelwork and major layout changes to cellar conversions, we bring structural capability and heritage craftsmanship together under one experienced team.
“We change the structure without losing the history.”
What we do
A full trade network, coordinated as one team.
From structural alterations and full home renovations to kitchens, bathrooms, bespoke joinery and staircase restoration, our core team manages every project directly, supported where required by a trusted network of specialist trade partners whom we know and personally approve.
Detail work
The finish is what people remember.
Cornice repairs, refurbished shutters, dowelled corners, heritage rooflights. The detail that separates a renovation from a genuine restoration, on every project regardless of size.
How we work
From first enquiry to handover.
A straightforward approach to every project, with clear communication at each stage.
Enquiry
Tell us about your property and project by phone, email or the contact form. We reply to every enquiry personally.
Site visit
We visit in person to see the property, understand any listed or structural constraints, and talk through what's possible.
Quotation
A detailed quotation setting out the scope, programme and cost, so there are no surprises once work starts.
Construction
Our core team manages the build day to day, with regular updates and walkthroughs as the project progresses.
Handover
A final walkthrough, any snagging resolved, and the property handed back ready to live in.
What clients say
“It was a distinct pleasure to work with Allied who were creative, very empathetic and patient, and did not use the evolution of the project to maximise profit. In 30+ years of doing refurbishments in more than one country I have never had such a positive view of contractors at the end of the project. Their can-do approach is really quite unique.”
