Just over the border from Carlisle.

Gretna is around 15 minutes from our Rome Street base, up the M6 and A74(M). It is actually closer to us than many parts of Cumbria, so we cover Gretna and Gretna Green as part of our regular area.

We work for homeowners, landlords and letting agents, and for local businesses that need a reliable pair of hands. We give a clear written price before we start and leave the job tidy when we finish.

Local knowledge

Gretna homes and the work they need.

Much of Gretna and Eastriggs was built as a planned township during the First World War, to house workers at the huge HM Factory Gretna munitions site. As a result, the area has a lot of solid early 20th-century terraced and semi-detached housing, alongside newer estates and bungalows. Those older houses often need door and window repairs, plaster and ceiling repairs, floor levelling and joinery updates.

For landlords in Scotland, privately rented homes must meet the Repairing Standard. We can carry out the practical repairs that help keep a property in good order, such as doors, windows, handles and locks, plaster, flooring and fencing. We are also happy to work through letting agents.
