Rollo Developments Ltd

Rollo Developments recently added an extension to our home as well as refurbishing bathrooms, we are delighted with the outcome. The process from initial engagement through to completion was very professional whilst remaining personal and friendly. We would recommend them for this type of work.

We cannot recommend Rollo highly enough for our recent renovation project. From start to finish, their professionalism and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations at every turn.

What truly set Rollo apart was their exceptional quality of work. Every detail was executed to the highest standard, with a level of finish that speaks to their commitment to excellence. The transformation of our home is nothing short of remarkable.

Perhaps even more impressive was their patience and understanding during what was inevitably a stressful time for us as homeowners. The team recognised when we were feeling overwhelmed and consistently provided reassurance and clear explanations to help us through the process. Their empathy made all the difference during the more challenging moments.

When unexpected issues arose – as they always do in renovation projects – Rollo's problem-solving abilities truly shone. Rather than simply presenting us with problems, they came forward with well-thought-out solutions and alternatives, always keeping our best interests and budget in mind. Their proactive approach meant we never felt left in the dark or uncertain about the way forward.

The quality of their staff is outstanding. Every tradesperson who worked on our project was skilled, respectful, and took genuine pride in their work. It was clear that Rollo invests in their team, and this investment shows in the calibre of work delivered.

Communication throughout the project was exemplary. We were kept informed at every stage, with regular updates and transparent discussions about progress, timelines, and any adjustments needed. This open dialogue built tremendous trust and confidence in the process.

What we particularly valued was Rollo's personalised approach. They took the time to understand our vision and lifestyle needs, tailoring their recommendations accordingly. We never felt like just another job – they treated our home as if it were their own.

The final result fills us with confidence that we've invested in top-tier completion that will stand the test of time. Even after project completion, their aftercare service has been exceptional, with prompt responses to any queries and a genuine commitment to our satisfaction.

Rollo has transformed not just our home, but our entire living experience. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking renovation work in Edinburgh.

Rollo were one of the Contractors involved in the complete refurbishment of my New Town home. As home owner and a project manager myself, I acted as the General Contractor, managing most materials procurement and interfaces between several specialist contractors. Rollo were responsible for approx. 25% of the total refurbishment. Long story short - Rollo are a great company to work with, their project manager communicates very well; their site supervisor Lewis was/is a star. Nothing my wife or I asked for was ever too much, Rollo were always willing and dependable to step in and help with any aspects of this refurbishment project. We had some specialist joinery work, aiming to mimic the original, intricate design from an ornate connecting door upstairs, this was executed by Rollo's in-house joinery firm Timbex. I was blown away by the quality and intricate detail of this finished product - a real highlight. The site supervisor, the project manager and Barry (Sean's dad) completed several detailed snagging surveys, completing all issues before anything was presented to me as 'finished'. There was one item were re-work was required and Rollo managed that very well, no quibbles, simply resolved. :) The only tricky areas were: (a) estimating and getting to the final contract, where there was poor attention to detail and (b) some sub-contractors proposed by Rollo, that I decided not to use and to hence I managed these scopes of work myself.
Super happy with the final outcome.

New bespoke storage built and installed under the stairs. This is a combination of drawers and one tall cupboard. The team from Rollo Developments were excellent from start to finish. They completed the work within the timescales given and the workmanship is of a very high standard. They cleaned up every day and were polite and friendly. We would not hesitate to use their services again.

Recently had a kitchen extension built by Rollo. Excellent customer service and quality of service. They always strived to ensure that we were happy with the result and we had complete trust in them throughout the process that they would deliver . Definitely would recommend and we hope to use them again in the future.

We had full kitchen refurbishment with retro-fitting insulation, new underfloor heating and some external building work.

Great company to work with. Very responsive. When problems arose (which inevitably do with these types of projects) felt like we were in safe hands. Would highly recommend.

Rollo removed an old conservatory and built a new extension in its place. This involved access through a tight space and tying together the original 1930's bungalow with a 1960's extension. The work was completed to budget and only a week or so behind schedule. Rollo completed any minor extra work that was uncovered without hesitation and we are delighted with the result.

Having had two cliched very bad experiences with Edinburgh building contractors, Rollo Developments have renewed our faith and we would not go anywhere else now as we trust them implicitly. Not praise I would throw out lightly given the previous experience we had. The workmanship is exceptional, in particular custom joinery and their professionalism, punctuality and customer service is remarkable. Could not recommend them a firm more highly.

We worked with Rollo on an entire-house renovation, after speaking with over 5 different building companies. Rollo exceeded all our expectations - on the quality of work, professionalism to work with, and actually helping us enjoy the process of what is one of the most stressful and expensive things you can do.

They're doing a brilliant job of improving the client's experience of a building project. We dreaded the stress, cost and tension we might face - but instead had friendly advice, straight-talking options about budget, and a team that were genuinely lovely to have around the house. They set a high bar of quality from the first conversation, throughout the project, and through to the final finishing touches.

I'd recommend Sean and his team to anyone considering work on their home, and will happily chat to anyone who has questions as we did before getting started.

Rollo were the lead contractor on our full home renovation and wrap round extension. They were very reliable and transparent, and we had a good relationship with them throughout the project. The whole team had great attention to detail and all clearly take pride in their work. I would happily use again, or recommend to others.

Having worked closely with Rollo on multiple projects, ranging in size of projects, I would highly recommend their services. They offer high quality workmanship, transparency and reliability whilst providing stellar professionalism. Their committed team are a pleasure to work with and supply great communication in all departments.

I had a rear extension which included a new kitchen, a bathroom renovation in the existing house and recently a bedroom renovated in the older part of the house. The level of planning, communication, customer service and attention to detail was outstanding. It was also helpful to get suggestions, such as creating one roof light rather than two which I had in original plans for more sunlight and a bigger impact in the room. I received sound budget advice, advice on contingency for anything unforeseen and I am really pleased with the finish. In particular thanks to Stuart our contracts manager for always being on hand to answer questions and provide updates on progress. I have recommended Rollo to friends and family and would use Rollo again for sure!

I chose this company because of the good reviews. They certainly deserve it. My project was complicated so I expected issues. This company rose to the challenge. From beginning to end I was part of all discussions. Where issues arose that required further expertise then that’s what happened. All trades who were part of the project were courteous and knowledgeable. They reduced inconvenience to me as client because of forethought. They cleaned up after every piece of work.
Their administration was first class as was their customer services. Their excellent after sales is “unique” in this society.
I highly recommend them as I have already done with friends and family.
I would use them again without hesitation.

I had a new kitchen designed and fitted. The work involve maximising use of a small space and some bespoke cabinet work to create a pantry cupboard. Rollo were professional throughout and managed all trades required to complete the project, including initial design of the kitchen. The project was delivered within agreed costs and importantly for me, in time for Christmas 2021! I’m already speaking with Rollo about work elsewhere in the house and would recommend them.

Another great job done by Rollo who at all times provide clear correspondence, pricing and go above and beyond to meet/exceed their clients expectations. This job included manufacturing and fitting our new front door and sandstone threshold, using their sister company to keep the work in house to ensure a truly bespoke product. Their follow up care is also second to none.

New back and front doors. Both being not standard sizes had to be custom made. Couldn't fault the work in any way. Everything was exactly how I wanted. Left everything clean and tidy. Certainly use this company again.

We used the Timbex part of the company for making and installing a Divider Screen with oak slats within a frame joined by metal poles within a plastered wall:

Superb craftsmanship, beautifully made!
Executed the job exactly as promised.
Executed the job within the timeframe as promised.
Prepared the surrounding flooring with appropriate coverings in order to avoid mess or damage.
Held to the original quotation without any add ons.

Rollo Developments did a major renovation for us in difficult conditions between lockdowns. The quality of the work was very good, despite many challenges to overcome with an old building throwing up unexpected issues. Customer service from the team is a real focus, especially from Lewis, one of the family, who project managed the work. Issues were resolved quickly and the team ensured all snagging was complete and we were satisfied.

Fantastic work on our bathroom that was in a long over due upgrade. The team at Rollo made the process easy, from logistics of ordering materials, planning of works, structural to bespoke cosmetic changes with unique finishes we have a bathroom we are proud of! Including re-routing pipe work, a recycled glass worktop, a bespoke black concrete and a hidden Narnia style cabinet!

From the outset Rollo Developments took charge of the renovation at my new property in Gullane. The house it self was very dated and needed a complete renovation from a new shower room, kitchen, new fire place, front & back doors, new boiler and even a full rewire to meet the new requirements- they took care of the lot! The work has been carried out to a great standard and we can’t be more pleased with the outcome. Sean, Stuart and the boys are absolutely amazing to get on with and made the journey very easy for us as it can be a stressful time. Communication was there from the start right through to the finish (which isn’t always there). I really can’t recommend Rollo Developments enough, 5 stars!
