Joinery and kitchen installation in Edinburgh
Edinburgh joinery often means working with original features and rooms that are anything but square. Bespoke cabinetry and made-to-measure work come into their own here, and we quote after seeing the property rather than over the phone.
Serving Edinburgh
Edinburgh sits at the eastern end of our Central Belt working area and is reached directly from Cumbernauld via the M9 and M8. We work across the city for homeowners, landlords and small commercial clients, with bespoke cabinetry, kitchen installation and internal joinery making up most of the workload.
Getting out to you
Free site visits in Edinburgh are arranged as quickly as the job allows. We do not publish a response-time promise, partly because it would be dishonest and partly because city-centre access, permit parking and stair access affect how long a visit takes. Call 07901 993084 between Monday and Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and we will give you a realistic date.
The property types we see in Edinburgh
The capital's housing is dominated by period stock. New Town and Georgian property brings tall ceilings, shutters, panelling and original mouldings that are protected or worth protecting. Victorian tenements across Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Leith and the south side bring high rooms, lath and plaster, and awkward chimney-breast alcoves crying out for fitted storage. Around these sit inter-war suburbs, post-war estates and modern flatted developments with entirely different construction and fixing requirements.
What people here ask us for most
Bespoke cabinetry is the single biggest request we get from Edinburgh, alcove units, fitted wardrobes for rooms with sloping ceilings or chimney breasts, and window-seat and understairs storage. After that come kitchen installations in rooms whose shape defeats standard layouts, careful replacement or repair of original internal doors and mouldings, flooring over floors needing levelling, and staircase and balustrade work.

Services
What we carry out in Edinburgh
Every service below is available across Edinburgh, quoted after a site visit and priced at a fixed cost wherever the scope can be clearly established.
Kitchen Installation in Edinburgh
Supply and fit, including ranges such as Howdens, with floors and walls checked before a single cabinet goes on, the difference between doors that align and doors that do not.

Joinery in Edinburgh
Doors hung so they close on the latch, skirtings and architraves mitred without filler, and finishing timber that still sits tight after a winter of heating.
More on joinery
Staircases in Edinburgh
Stair work, balustrades and replacement treads that stop the creak and the flex, fitted with the run and rise measured on site.

Flooring in Edinburgh
Timber and laminate floors laid on a base that has been levelled first, with expansion allowance designed in so the boards do not lift or gap.

Carpentry in Edinburgh
Structural and first-fix timber work done to line and level, so the plasterer, tiler and kitchen fitter who follow are not correcting your frame.

What you get from Impact Joinery in Edinburgh
Made-to-measure by default
In rooms that are not square, bespoke cabinetry frequently costs little more than a standard unit plus the filler panels needed to disguise the gaps.
We measure before we price
No Edinburgh quotation is given over the phone. Site visits are free, and they are what makes a fixed price possible.
Respect for original joinery
Where original doors, shutters and mouldings are sound, easing and repairing them beats replacing them, and we will tell you when they are past saving.
Nine years, guaranteed workmanship
Public liability insurance in place and a 12-month guarantee on issues arising from our installation.
Local conditions
Joinery problems we see most often in Edinburgh
Property age, construction type and Scottish weather decide what goes wrong and when. These are the issues we are called to most in this area.
Rooms with no reliable straight line
Edinburgh's period rooms bow, taper and slope. A run of standard cabinets set against that reveals a widening gap along its length. Scribing the end panels and, where the room warrants it, building the units to measure are what make the finish look intentional.
Deep alcoves flanking chimney breasts
Almost every period room here has two alcoves of slightly different width. Free-standing furniture wastes them; a pair of built-in units that fill them properly can add serious usable storage to a flat that otherwise has none.
Original features that need protecting
Shutters, panelling, cornices and original door sets are part of what the property is worth. Work near them has to be planned around them rather than through them, and in protected property the correct consents matter. We work to what the property and its status require.
Access, parking and getting materials in
Common stairs, controlled parking and narrow landings mean material sizes and delivery timing have to be planned in advance. Ordering a worktop that will not turn on a tenement half-landing is a costly way to learn this.
Our process
How the job runs from first call to guarantee
Your call and initial questions
You ring 07901 993084 or send the estimate form. We ask enough about the property, the scope and your timescale to know whether the job suits us and when we could realistically start. If it is not work we can do well, we say so at that point rather than after a wasted visit.
Free site visit and measure
We come out and measure the actual space. Site visits are arranged as quickly as the size and complexity of the job allow, and they cost nothing. Measuring on site is what makes a fixed price possible, walls are rarely square, and photographs hide the details that change a price.
Fixed-price quotation in writing
You get a written quotation setting out exactly what is included: the timber, the fixings, the making good, and any work by other trades we would coordinate. Where the scope can be clearly established the price is fixed, so it does not move unless you change what you have asked for.
Joinery carried out and made good
We work in an agreed sequence so you keep use of the property wherever that is practical, protect floors and surfaces, cut outside or with extraction where we can, and make good around every new piece so the decorator has a clean edge to work to.
Handover, tidy-up and 12-month guarantee
We walk the finished work with you, deal with anything you are not happy with there and then, and clear the site. Our workmanship is covered by a 12-month guarantee on issues arising directly from our installation. Full warranty terms are confirmed as part of your quotation.
