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 fitted wardrobe 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
Every fitted wardrobe we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Edinburgh, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
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
Fitted Wardrobes in Edinburgh — common questions
How much hanging space do I actually need?
As a rule, one metre of double hanging holds around forty shirts or thirty jackets. Long hanging for coats and dresses needs 1,600mm of clear height; short hanging needs 1,050mm, which lets you stack two rails in the same bay. We measure what you own at survey rather than guessing.
Hinged or sliding doors?
Hinged doors give you the whole opening and full-depth shelves. Sliding doors need no swing space, which matters if the bed is close, but they lose around 100mm of internal depth to the track and you can only ever see half the wardrobe at once.
Can you fit around a chimney breast or a radiator?
That is one of the main reasons people go bespoke. We build the run in bays that step round the breast, and a radiator is either boxed with a ventilated grille or the run is returned short of it.
Do the doors need handles?
No. Push-to-open catches or a routed finger pull along the top edge give a completely flat front. Handles are easier to live with on heavy full-height doors, and a J-pull rail is a good middle ground.
Is bespoke joinery more expensive than a fitted furniture chain?
On a like-for-like specification it is usually comparable, and often less. Chains price a standard carcass and then charge for every deviation. A bespoke maker prices the actual room once. Where bespoke does cost more is in the materials — solid hardwood and sprayed finishes cost more than foil-wrapped board, and they last a great deal longer.
