Joinery and Woodworking in Kirkcaldy

What the work looks like in Kirkcaldy

Tenement flats in Kirkcaldy come with joinery already built into them — deep skirtings, moulded architraves, panelled doors — and new work sitting next to that has to match, or the room notices. We take profiles off the existing trim so a new opening, a boxed-in run or a built-in press reads as though it was always there.

Alcove storage, window shutters, press cupboards and understair units are the bread and butter, all cut on site to the wall rather than assembled off a plan. In the post-war housing it's more often wardrobes, shelving and stud partitions to split space.

Structural carpentry comes into it as well: partitions, openings, boxing in services and re-framing where old timber has had its day. Anything load-bearing goes to a structural engineer first. The finishing is what we'd want in our own place — joints tight, fixings hidden, everything eased and sanded ready to paint.
