Joinery runs through every renovation: stud walls and door linings at the start, then doors, skirtings, architraves and fitted furniture at the end. Our joiners handle both first and second fix, working with the rest of the team so the job moves on without waiting for the next trade.
We also make and fit bespoke pieces such as alcove cupboards, shelving and window seats, and repair original timberwork in period homes.

How the work runs
- Discuss. We talk through what you need, the style of the room and any existing timberwork to match.
- Measure and quote. We measure up and give you a clear quote, with drawings for fitted furniture where useful.
- Make and fit. Pieces are made and fitted, scribed to walls and floors that are rarely square.
- Finish. Everything is filled, sanded and left ready for painting, or finished as agreed.
Joinery for Edinburgh's period homes
Edinburgh's older homes are full of timberwork worth keeping: panelled doors, shutters, deep skirtings and moulded architraves. When new pieces are needed we match existing profiles as closely as possible, and the alcoves either side of a chimney breast are ideal for built in storage that suits the room.
Joinery FAQs
Can you match old skirting and architrave?
In most cases. Many common period profiles are available, and others can be made to match a sample.
Do you build fitted wardrobes?
Yes. We design and build fitted wardrobes and alcove storage to suit the room, ready for painting or finished in your chosen material.
Can you hang new doors in old frames?
Yes. Old door frames are rarely square, so we trim and hang each door to fit its opening.
