Bespoke joinery in Edinburgh, designed to outlast the house itself.
Joinery in Edinburgh, hand-built — bespoke kitchens, bathrooms and fitted furniture for discerning homes across the city and the whole of Scotland. One craftsman. No shortcuts.
Three things, done exceptionally well.
FAB Joinery focuses on the permanent, high-skill joinery that defines a home — bespoke kitchens, bathrooms and fitted furniture, built for clients across Edinburgh and Scotland.
Bespoke Kitchens
Designed around how you actually live and built to fit your space exactly — solid carcasses, hand-fitted doors and finishes chosen to age beautifully. Not flat-pack. Furniture for the room you use most.
Bathrooms
Full bathroom builds with the joinery done properly — fitted vanities, panelling, concealed storage and a finish that holds up to daily life for decades, not seasons.
Bespoke Joinery
The pieces that make a house feel considered: fitted wardrobes, libraries, media walls, window seats, staircases, panelling and doors. Drawn, made and installed by hand.
The proof is in the finish.

Before you get in touch.
Do you work across Edinburgh?
Yes — across the city and surrounding areas. From New Town and Stockbridge to Morningside, Leith, Bruntsfield and Trinity, plus the wider Lothians.
Where else do you work?
Beyond Edinburgh, across Scotland — the Lothians, Glasgow, Stirling, Perthshire, the Borders, Fife and the Highlands. Happy to travel for the right project.
How does the process work?
A short conversation first to understand what you have in mind, then a site visit to measure, discuss materials and finishes, and agree a brief. From there you get a written quote covering design, materials and installation. Once approved, work is scheduled, built and installed by Barry directly.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on the scope and on the current order book. A fitted kitchen is typically several weeks from sign-off to installation; smaller bespoke pieces can be quicker. Honest timelines are given in writing at quote stage — no optimistic promises.
What does it cost?
Every project is bespoke, so prices are quoted individually after the site visit. As a guide, this is hand-built joinery for clients who want it done once and done well — not a flat-pack alternative. The written quote is itemised and there are no hidden extras.
Do you work directly, or through a builder?
Directly. The person who quotes the job is the person who builds it and the person you can call when it matters. No sales team, no subcontracted finish.
Let's talk about your project.
Tell Barry what you have in mind. Quotes are free, honest and given by the person who'll do the work.
