Home Conversions &
Renovations

Unlock the potential in your property. From barn conversions to full home refurbishments, we manage complex projects with a master craftsman’s touch.

A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS

Transforming Homes, Not Just Rooms

Renovating a property is often more complex than building new. It requires the ability to uncover the unknown, solve structural challenges, and respect the character of the existing building. This is where experience counts.

Steve Beattie Joinery specialises in major structural renovations and conversions across Dundee, Angus, Perth, Fife, and Stonehaven. We don’t just fit joinery; we manage the entire transformation. We strip back, structuralize, insulate, and finish your home to modern standards without losing its soul.

We coordinate plumbers, electricians, and decorators to keep your timeline on track.

Structural Works

We handle wall removals, steel beam installations, and layout reconfigurations safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

For structural changes (like removing walls) or conversions (loft/barn), we highly recommend architectural drawings and a structural engineer’s report. We work closely with trusted local architects in Angus and Dundee and can introduce you to them to get your project started correctly.

Yes. We provide a full project management service. We coordinate and oversee trusted electricians, plumbers, plasterers, and decorators so you only have one point of contact—us. This ensures the project runs smoothly and stays on schedule.

With renovations, especially in older properties, the unexpected can happen. If we uncover an issue (like rot or old wiring), we stop, explain the situation clearly to you, and provide a cost-effective solution before proceeding. We believe in total transparency.

Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of a renovation is thermal efficiency. We can install insulated plasterboard or build independent stud walls with rigid insulation to dramatically improve the warmth and energy rating of stone-built properties.
