Edinburgh is a county of Georgian New Town flats and Victorian tenements with tall ceilings and deep reveals. That is exactly the kind of building stock a boot room has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For boot rooms & cloakrooms in Edinburgh we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.

Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Boot Rooms & Cloakrooms in Edinburgh — common questions
Should there be a bench?
Yes. A 450mm-high bench with open shoe storage beneath is the single most useful thing in a boot room — it is where boots come off, which is the whole point of the room.
Can you build in space for drying?
A drying zone with a slatted shelf over a radiator, or a rail on a pulley, works well. It needs ventilation — a boot room that traps damp will smell within weeks.
Do I need a separate room for this?
No. A 1.5m run in a hallway or a section of a utility room works. The value is in the arrangement — bench, hooks above, closed storage below — not the square metres.
How high should the hooks be?
1,700mm for adults, with a second row at 1,100mm for children. Adjustable rails are not worth it — fix them, and add the lower row from the start.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
