What we make

Honest carpentry. Bespoke joinery.

Whether it's first-fix structure or the finishing touches that tie a room together, every job is measured, made and fitted by hand.

Fitted Kitchens & Cabinetry

Handmade kitchens, larders and built-ins that work for the way you actually cook. From planning to handles.

Fitted Wardrobes & Storage

Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, alcove units, understairs storage — fitted to awkward walls and old skirting like they grew there.

Staircases & Balustrading

New stairs, renewed treads, spindles and handrails in oak, ash or painted softwood — built to feel solid under foot.

Doors, Windows & Second Fix

Door hanging, skirting, architrave, cladding, ironmongery — the details that lift a renovation from rough to right.

Decking, Fencing & Outdoor

Sturdy decks, gates, sheds and pergolas built to take a proper Ayrshire winter. Hardwood or treated softwood, no nonsense.

First Fix & Structural

Studwork, floor joists, roof trusses, partitioning and frame work for extensions, loft conversions and new builds.

Bespoke Furniture

One-off tables, benches, shelving and custom pieces in solid oak or reclaimed timber. Designed with you, made for you.

Loft Conversions & Extensions

The carpentry backbone of your project — working alongside builders and architects, or running the trade ourselves.

Quoted on a Tuesday, fitted by the Friday. The wardrobes are perfect — finally got a bedroom that doesn't feel like a storage cupboard.

Built me an oak staircase for an old farmhouse near Mauchline. Lovely work, no mess, fair price. Will be back for the kitchen.

Replaced every internal door in the house and tidied up the skirting. Made a tired-looking place feel new. Polite, prompt, properly skilled.

Built a deck and pergola that's still standing through three Ayrshire winters. Communication first-class, finish even better.

Common questions

Bits people always ask.

What areas do you cover?
The full KA postcode — Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine, Troon, Prestwick, Kilwinning, Cumnock, Largs, Maybole, Girvan, the Isle of Arran and everywhere in between — plus 50 miles in any direction. That takes us into Glasgow, East Kilbride, Paisley, Greenock, Hamilton, Lanark and the surrounding villages. Not sure if you're in? Drop the postcode in the form and ask.
How quickly can you start a job?
Small jobs — door hangs, repairs, single units — often within the week. Bigger projects like kitchens, staircases or extensions are usually booked a few weeks out. We'll be straight with you about timings from the first call.
Are quotes really free?
Yes — free, no obligation, no pushy follow-ups. We'll either visit or talk it through over the phone with a couple of photos, depending on the job. You only pay if we agree to go ahead.
Are you insured and qualified?
Fully insured, NVQ Level 2 City & Guilds qualified in carpentry and joinery, and time-served on new builds, refurbishments, extensions and loft conversions. Happy to show paperwork on request.
Do you do small jobs or just full fit-outs?
Both. A sticking door, a single shelf, a full kitchen, or the carpentry on a two-storey extension — it's all welcome. No callout charge for quotes within reasonable range.
Can you work with my builder or architect?
Absolutely. Plenty of our work is alongside other trades on extensions and renovations. Or we can project-manage the carpentry side ourselves and bring in trusted contacts where needed.
