Ayrshire is a county of sandstone terraces, coastal Victorian villas and rural farm properties. That is exactly the kind of building stock a set of mouldings 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 set of mouldings we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Ayrshire, 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
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
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.

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
Skirting, Architrave & Mouldings in Ayrshire — common questions
Can you run picture rails and coving too?
Timber and MDF picture rails and dado rails, yes. Plaster coving and cornice is a plasterer's trade and we work alongside them rather than supplying it.
Can you supply long lengths without joints?
Up to 4.2m in MDF and around 3m in solid timber as standard. Beyond that we scarf-joint rather than butt, so the joint closes invisibly under paint.
What height should skirting be?
It should relate to the ceiling. In a 2.4m room, 145mm to 170mm looks right. In a 3m Victorian room, 220mm and above. Skirting that is too short is the commonest mistake in a period refurbishment.
Do you fit or supply only?
Either. Supply-only is straightforward for a competent joiner or a confident DIYer. We fit where the mitres are complex, the walls are out, or the profile is large enough that a bad joint would show.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
