Restoration and renovation across the Scottish Borders
Allied Development undertakes restoration and renovation work across the Scottish Borders, covering market-town, rural and listed buildings. The same structural and heritage experience that shapes our Edinburgh work applies here: careful assessment first, sympathetic repair over replacement.

Building & renovating here
Restoring rural and listed properties in the Borders
The Scottish Borders includes former mill towns such as Galashiels, Hawick and Selkirk, built up around the region's wool and textile trade, and market towns like Peebles, Melrose, Kelso and Jedburgh with their own older, often listed building stock.
Away from the towns, rural and farmhouse properties bring their own considerations, from older service runs to the practicalities of a more isolated site. Either way, restoration work here calls for the same patient, detail-first approach as anywhere else we work.

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.
Renovation & BuildingOriginal details, brought back
Sash and case window restoration sits alongside full window and door installation, often on the same property.
Windows & DoorsDetail work, done properly
Bespoke joinery, staircases and finishes. The details that separate a renovation from a genuine restoration.

Our approach
Our structural specialism.
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.
