    Internal doors

    Posted 14 April

    Guthrie joiners and builders recently installed some doors in our flat and we are really happy with the end result. There was some awkward sizes and angles but we got the door installed throughout. Flat and communal area was left tidy at the end of each day which was a huge bonus too. Both guys friendly and approachable.

    New banister

    Posted 31 March

    Alex and his apprentice John completed the difficult job of removing my old banister and replacing with a new one. The quality of the work is outstanding and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. As well as looking fantastic, the banister is very sturdy and secure. Both worked so hard and Alex went over and above, even sorting an issue I had with a door frame. Communication and punctuality was also excellent. Alex answered any questions I had and was able to work to my availability. Also very punctual. I’d highly recommend and would certainly use again

    Alex replied to my request quickly & gave me a brilliant price. Fortunately for me he had a cancelled job so was able to do my roof the next day. I’m absolutely delighted by the work, it looks great & no mess was left afterwards. I would definitely recommend.

    Alex did a fantastic job hanging my doors after new carpets were fitted. Also built XRocker furniture for the kids rooms which seemed effortless. Highly recommend

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.
