Case Study: Brotherston Way, East Lothian for Walker Homes

For client Walker Homes, Donaldson Door Systems (DDS) supplied 164 staircase and balustrades sets to the Brotherston Way development in Tranent, East Lothian

The development has excellent links to Edinburgh city centre and is surrounded by open countryside. With a variety of 4 and 5 bedroom homes available, the development is perfect for families and commuting professionals alike.  

This was an exciting project as it was the re-opening of a project DDS initially started working on 15 years ago so seeing the site through to completion was a great achievement.  

DDS has a long working history with Walker Homes and this site was the first to include an Ash handrail, making the first change to Walker’s spec in a long time. This means that the project was unique for DDS and an exciting development in the relationship with Walker Homes. 

​Billy Cameron, General Manager, commented, ‘This was a special project for Donaldson Door Systems as it was one we initially started working on around 15 years ago. It was great to get the opportunity to take the project through to its completion. It was also the first site to include an Ash handrail, making an exciting change to our long-standing history with Walker Homes, allowing us to demonstrate the quality and craftmanship of not only this new feature but the entire order of stairsets and balustrades.’

Case Study: Ellingwood, Bellway Homes Scotland West

Ellingwood by Bellway Homes is a development of 3, 4 and 5-bedroom homes and enjoys an enviable location in the well-connected suburb of Robroyston. The development sits three miles north of Glasgow and provides residents with great access to local amenities and retail opportunities. Our team worked in partnership with Bellway Homes Scotland West to manufacture and supply timber staircases and Balustrades for 199 plots within this development. 

The project was the first site that we had supplied Bellway’s new and enhanced product specification for, which required 4- & 5-bedroom homes to have an Oak finish on the handrails and newel posts which gave a nice upgrade to the standard stairs we normally produce.  

Billy Cameron, General Manager, ‘Supplying Bellway’s new and enhanced Oak finished product specification for the first time gave us a great opportunity to demonstrate our skills and expertise in this area. By overcoming some initial challenges and improving our processes overall we completed another successful project.’ 

Bellway commented, ‘Donaldson Door Systems provided high quality oak finished staircases to 199 plots on our Ellingwood development. We were impressed by the quality of the products and the skill of the installers on site that enhanced the overall finish of the entire development.’
