Perth and Kinross is a county of stone-built town houses and rural steadings with substantial period joinery. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood arch 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
A hardwood arch is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Perth and Kinross in one visit wherever the programme allows.
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
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Hardwood Arches in Perth and Kinross — common questions
How is a curved head made?
Laminated. Thin leaves of hardwood are glued around a former so the grain follows the curve. Cutting an arch from solid leaves short grain at the springing, which is where it will eventually break.
Can you match an existing arch in a run?
Yes. We template the original opening rather than working from a stated radius — openings in old buildings are rarely the true circles they were drawn as.
Can arched glazing be double glazed?
Yes. Curved units are made to template and need longer lead times than square units, which is usually what sets the programme.
Can you form an arch over an existing opening?
Yes, provided the structural opening is already arched or can be. We are making the joinery, not the lintel, so the structural head needs to be right first.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
