10 Work carried out beautifully.
Posted 17 November
From the quote to completion of the job Alex and Ryan were excellent, totally professional. We are delighted with the result. We got four new doors, the bathroom floor and new bannister and spindles. We would use them again and recommend them for their work ethic and the beautiful result.Verified reviewerJob location: G1510 Great to work with

10 New front door supplied and fitted
Posted 08 November
Alex provided us with a brochure in order to select the door that we wanted. Alex dealt with the ordering of the door and kept in regular contact to let us know when it was ready and to arrange fitting all within a few weeks. The Finished job is amazing, very happy with the work done and there was no mess left. Alex also took time when he was finished to measure up for a fence I may be considering for next year. Very pleasant and polite, professional and considerate. I would highly recommend Guthrie Joiners and Builders and will certainly use them again when I need work done 10/10.Verified reviewerJob location: ML4 10 Fitted flooring and renewed all skirting

First of all you will not meet nicer tradesmen. Alex, Ryan and James were a pleasure to have around the house. The workmanship is of high quality and they were extremely tidy through the works. They even went that extra mile by helping take a huge bed upstairs which was not part of the job. I cannot recommend them highly enough.Verified reviewerJob location: G7410 Great job, on time and on budget.

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.
