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 walk-in dressing 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 walk-in dressing rooms 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
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
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.

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
Walk-In Dressing Rooms in Edinburgh — common questions
How much room do I need for a walk-in?
A single-sided run needs 1,500mm of floor width — 600mm for the units and 900mm to stand and open a drawer. A double-sided run needs 2,300mm minimum. Below that you are better off with a wardrobe wall.
What lighting works best?
LED strip in the underside of each shelf, on a movement sensor, plus a decent ceiling light with a high colour rendering index. Poor colour rendering is why clothes look different once you get downstairs.
Should there be a window in a dressing room?
Ideally yes, for ventilation. If there is not, an extract fan on a humidistat is worth fitting — a sealed room full of clothes and no air movement is how you get musty fabric.
Can a dressing room be made from a small bedroom?
That is the most common way it happens. A box room of 2.4m by 2.4m makes an excellent dressing room and adds more to how the house lives than a bedroom nobody sleeps in.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
