  • Cabinet & Drawer Fixes: Replacing broken cabinet hinges, fixing loose kitchen drawer runners, realigning crooked wardrobe doors, and replacing handles.

Why Quality Assembly & Fitting Matters

In older Edinburgh homes, floors and walls are rarely 100% square. Putting together a large wardrobe or shelving unit on an uneven tenement floor often leads to wonky frames, sticky drawers, and misaligned doors.

We assemble your furniture precisely, shim and level the bases, and anchor heavy pieces directly to structural wall studs or solid masonry—ensuring your furniture lasts longer and stays completely safe.
