From a sticking door to a full fitted kitchen
No job too wee. If it's made of wood and it's in a house, we've probably built it, fixed it or fitted it, mostly in tenement flats, where nothing is ever square.
-
Kitchens
Fitted, or fit-only
Supply and fit, or fit only if you've bought your own. Measured right, hung straight, and finished properly around the awkward bits: the boxing-in, the end panels, the bit behind the pipe.
-
Storage
Wardrobes, alcoves and under-stair
Built-in wardrobes, alcove units and under-stair cupboards that use every inch of a tenement flat, including the walls that lean.
-
Doors & trim
Doors, skirtings and facings
New doors hung and eased, period skirtings matched to what's already there, and creaks and gaps sorted for good rather than filled and forgotten.
-
Floors
Hardwood, laminate and repairs
New floors laid flat, and original boards lifted, patched and re-laid. Finished clean at the edges, which is where most of it goes wrong.
-
Outside
Decking, fencing and garden timber
Decking, fencing and raised beds built to take a Glasgow winter, not just to look good in July. Treated properly before it goes down, not after.
-
Small jobs
Repairs and the wee stuff
Sash windows freed, hinges fixed, shelves put up straight. The jobs the bigger outfits won't come out for, which is why most people phone us the first time.
Not sure which of those it is? Describe it in your own words. That's what the visit is for.

Eighteen years of it
Every job on this page was set out by hand, on site, in flats where nothing is square.
Free visit, then a price in writing
Three steps, and you can stop after either of the first two without owing anything.
-
James comes round
He looks at the job, talks it through with you, and tells you there and then if it's not worth doing. Usually inside the week. No charge, no obligation.
-
A price in writing
By email within two days: itemised, with what's included, what isn't, and how many days we'll be in your house. The price we quote is the price you pay.
-
Job done, place tidy
We turn up on the day we said, do the job right, and take the mess with us. Anything that isn't right, we come back and sort it.
Why there's no price list on this page
Because a sticking door and a full kitchen fit aren't the same job, and neither are two kitchens. Any joiner who gives you a number before he's seen it is guessing, and a guess is either too high, or it's the one that grows once the work has started.
So there's nothing to pay for the visit and nothing to pay for the quote. You get a real figure in writing, and you're welcome to take it away and set it against anyone else's.
The dull bits are the ones that matter
Anyone can screw a unit to a wall. Whether it's still straight in five years comes down to the setting out, and to somebody being fussy about it on the day.
04 Where we work
Southside born, Southside based
Based in Shawlands, and most jobs are within a couple of miles of it. That's on purpose, it means coming back for a ten-minute fix doesn't cost anybody a day.
Shawlands / Govanhill / Pollokshaws / Battlefield / Mount Florida / Langside / Strathbungo / Cathcart / Newlands
Just outside that? Phone and ask anyway. For a bigger job we'll travel further, and for a wee one we'll tell you honestly that somebody closer will be cheaper.
