Building and renovating in East Lothian
East Lothian's property stock is varied: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Haddington and North Berwick, coastal villas around Gullane and Aberlady, farmhouses and steadings further inland, and a growing number of commuter-belt family homes near Musselburgh and Longniddry.
Coastal properties bring their own general considerations, from weather exposure to older solid-wall construction, while village conservation areas call for the same sympathetic approach as Edinburgh's, matching detail rather than defaulting to modern replacement.

What we cover
Our structural specialism
Complex structural alterations within listed and period properties are where we add the most value. Steelwork, layout changes, cellar conversions and serious structural problems, resolved while preserving the cornices, fireplaces, shutters and staircases around them. It's the core of what Allied does.

Our approach

Listed buildings and period properties come with real constraints, from listed building consent to load-bearing changes and matching original detail exactly. We've built our reputation on exactly that work.
Our core team manages every project directly, supported where required by a trusted network of specialist trade partners whom we know and personally approve.
