Edinburgh tenements and Georgian flats lean, bow and slope. Every Ashlar and Oak piece has a scribe edge, a strip left long in the workshop and cut on site to follow your wall exactly, so there is no gap and no bead of filler.

Reviews

From the flats and houses we have fitted

Alcove units, Marchmont

"Our tenement walls lean in every direction and they still got a shadow gap you could run a card along. Painted in a stone we chose from their samples, and fitted in a day."

Isla FraserMarchmont

Loft wardrobes, Stockbridge

"The ceiling slopes at two different angles on our top floor. The wardrobes follow both, and the doors close without a gap."

Callum ReidStockbridge

Dressing room, Morningside

"Every drawer, rail and shelf was drawn and agreed before a board was cut. It is exactly the drawing."

Questions

Before the design visit

We bring finish samples, a laser measure and a sketchbook.

Call the workshop

About four weeks from the agreed drawing to fitting: three weeks making in our Leith workshop and one or two days on site.

All the time. Leaning walls, high ceilings and stone stairs are normal here. We carry every panel up by hand and scribe to the walls on site.

Painted MDF is smooth, stable and any colour you like, sprayed in our workshop. Oak and walnut are veneered or solid, oiled or lacquered, for a warmer, natural look.

Yes. We match skirting, architrave and cornice profiles, and colour match to a paint chip or an existing door.

Fitted wardrobes start from 1,450 pounds a bay painted, and alcove units from 1,450 a side. The design visit, drawing and quote are free.
