Scottish Borders is a county of stone mill-town terraces and substantial rural farmhouses. That is exactly the kind of building stock a set of internal doors 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
Walls in Scottish Borders are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A set of internal doors that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
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.

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
Bespoke Internal Doors in Scottish Borders — common questions
Can you match the doors we already have?
Yes. We take the panel layout, stile and rail widths, and moulding profile from an existing door and reproduce it. Matching four-panel Victorian doors is one of our commonest jobs.
What about fire doors?
We supply FD30 doorsets where regulations require them — in a loft conversion, a three-storey house or a flat entrance. They come with certified intumescent seals and the correct ironmongery, and the certification only holds if the whole set is fitted as supplied.
Do you fit the ironmongery?
We can supply and fit, or hang the door and leave the ironmongery to you. If we are supplying, we prefer to machine the mortices in the workshop for a cleaner result.
Can pocket doors be made bespoke?
Yes, though the cassette has to go into the wall before plastering, so it needs planning with the builder. A pocket door saves a metre of swing space and is transformative in a tight en-suite or utility.
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.
