Part 4 – Dirleton Extension – Roof, Glazing & External Finishes 🏡✨
This is where the project really started to take on its final appearance.
With the main structure complete, we turned our attention to the roof, glazing and external finishes that brought our client’s vision to life.
The flat roof was finished with a premium Alwitra VSK single-ply membrane, providing a clean, contemporary appearance and a high-performance waterproofing system built for long-term durability.
Maximising natural light was a key part of this project. We created a new structural opening within the gable wall for a uPVC window, bringing much-needed daylight into an existing bedroom. Once rendered to match the surrounding walls, the new opening blends seamlessly with the original property.
Three Velux roof windows, complete with bespoke plastered light shafts, also flood the bathroom, en-suite and utility room with natural daylight, creating bright, airy spaces throughout the home.
Externally, the extension was finished in crisp white K Rend, while a new composite front door and two large aluminium sliding patio doors, finished in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey, complement the roofline details and complete the contemporary look.
Outside, we also built one of the largest—and certainly the tallest—composite decks we’ve ever constructed. The significant changes in ground level made it a challenging build, but the finished result has created an incredible outdoor space. Finished in Composite Prime HD Decking in Natural Oak, it provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy this beautiful East Lothian setting.
In Part 5, we’ll take you inside to showcase the bathrooms, kitchen and completed interior that truly finished this stunning second home.
If you’re planning an extension or renovation, we’d be delighted to help.
