    Need a joiner? Give these guys a call

    Posted 23 April

    Had a hard time finding someone to fit both an automatic door closer for my front door and a pivot panel for my shower as part of the same job and was on the clock for needing both done. These guys were absolutely wonderful in sourcing the parts, pricing, organising the job, and completing the work efficiently and to a high standard. They were super friendly and communicative as well, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend hiring them over anyone else for joinery work you’re needing done.

    Re hanging kitchen units that fell down.

    Posted 02 April

    Alex was great from the quote to finishing the job. Came the next day after posting the job. Friendly, polite and professional. Swept and wiped up after completion of the work. He even rehung a door that was squint. Will definitely use Alex again the next time.

    From start to finish the experience was excellent. The communication was amazing. Quotes and services done in incredible time. We had kitchen cabnets fitted, an extractor fan fitted, a new door fitted and a new oven fitted all within one day. The guys were so kind and pleasant. Will definately get them back for more work.

I served my apprenticeship with a company called Abercorn Builders whilst attending college. I left Abercorn and became self-employed. A big step up for me, I had to adapt quickly, however, I relished every challenge. This proved to be the best way to gain a varied knowledge of construction sites.


In 2003 I undertook work for Avonhill on a self-employed basis where I eventually stayed for 7 years. After just one week the owner approached me and asked to work on building brand new schools in exchange for considerably more money. I was 23 years old and running considerably big projects with colleagues double my age. Apprehensive at first, this has since put me in great stead as I learned quickly how to manage the time constraints involved when working on larger jobs as well as overseeing the details that matter when working in someone's home.


A few years ago, I was approached by the new owner of a large house at a very prestigious address in the town where I live. I renovated the whole house, restored many of its original features in solid wood and helped extend it. This has led to me working on residential projects in people's homes fitting kitchens, windows, hardwood flooring, doors, skirting etc.


At the end of 2014 I decided to join Checkatrade as I have a young family and I am very keen to work closer to home to be more involved in everyday life. Over recent years my wife and kids would be in bed when I went to work and in bed when I got home at night.

I now hope to build up a repeat clientele around central Scotland and look forward to hearing from you.
