Fitted wardrobes, storage, panelling and architectural cabinetry, drawn for your room, fabricated off site and installed with the tolerances a period property demands.
Every piece we make starts with a measured survey and a drawing you sign off. The carcasses, doors and mouldings are then cut, assembled and finished in the workshop, where dust, humidity and tolerance can be controlled properly.
That means the disruptive part of the job happens away from your home. Installation is a short, clean visit: level, scribe, fix, adjust and hand over, rather than weeks of cutting on your floor.
Edinburgh flats are generous in volume and poor in storage. Fitted joinery is the only way to use full ceiling height, awkward returns and the dead space beside a chimney breast without the room feeling boxed in.
We design wardrobe interiors around what you actually own: hanging heights, drawer banks, shoe racking, lit shelving and pull-out rails, with door styles that match the room rather than a catalogue.
In a listed or conservation-area property the joinery has to sit beside original work without pretending to be it. We match profiles, reinstate lost mouldings and use paint-grade or hardwood construction appropriate to the age of the building.
Our Morningside project is a good example: a full architectural kitchen and storage array fabricated off site and installed into a Victorian terrace without altering the original fabric.
Most joiners in Edinburgh split into two camps: site joiners doing first and second fix, and furniture makers taking one-off commissions. We sit between the two. Our workshop makes fitted wardrobes, alcove units, panelling and storage to measured drawings, and our own joiners install them, so the person who made the piece is answerable for how it fits.
That covers the jobs a general joiner in Edinburgh is often asked for but cannot fabricate: a fitted wardrobe run across an out-of-true tenement wall, bespoke kitchen cabinetry where modular units stop, window seats, boot rooms and understair storage. For bespoke kitchens in Edinburgh we work alongside our kitchen division, so cabinetry and installation come from the same workshop.

Bespoke joinery typically costs two to three times a flat-pack equivalent, and lasts several times longer. The premium buys solid construction, a finish sprayed in controlled conditions, and units built to the exact dimensions of an out-of-true room, which is where modular systems leave gaps and wasted space.
Allow six to eight weeks from signed drawings to installation. Most of that is workshop time for fabrication and finishing, with installation usually taking one to three days on site. Rush programmes are possible when a project is already running with us and the workshop can be sequenced around it.
Yes. Freestanding and fitted internal joinery is often achievable without consent, but anything altering historic fabric or visible external detail needs listed building consent. We identify that at survey, match original profiles and construction, and where consent is needed we prepare the drawings and detail to support the application.
Ask whether the joiner makes the wardrobes or buys them in. A joiner who fabricates in their own workshop controls the tolerances, the finish and the lead time, and can scribe units to the out-of-true walls that most Edinburgh flats have. Ask to see measured drawings before fabrication starts, and check that installation is done by the same people who made the units rather than subcontracted fitters.
Yes. Our joinery workshop makes bespoke kitchen cabinetry to measured drawings, and our kitchen division plans, supplies and installs the full room. That means the cabinetry, worktops, appliances and finishing trades come under one contract, with the joinery made for the exact dimensions of your space rather than adapted from modular sizes.
Send dimensions, photographs and what you want to store. We will survey and draw it before we price it.
