Testimonials

Margaret Rennick

I can’t recommend Heritage Oak Joinery highly enough. We needed several sash‑and‑case windows restored in our New Town flat, and the level of care they put into the work was outstanding. They didn’t just repair the timber — they preserved the original profiles and detailing exactly as they were.

It’s rare to find tradespeople who genuinely understand traditional Scottish joinery, but these guys absolutely do. The windows look incredible and operate better than they have in decades.

Callum Fraser

We hired Heritage Oak Joinery to create bespoke oak shelving and a new internal door for our Victorian home. The craftsmanship is exceptional — every joint is perfect, the finish is beautiful, and the pieces look like they’ve always belonged in the house.

What impressed me most was their respect for the building’s character. They took time to match the timber, the mouldings, and even the period‑appropriate hardware. Proper, honest workmanship from people who clearly love what they do.

Eilidh MacPherson

Our rural cottage had hidden structural timber issues that several contractors either missed or wanted to ‘patch over’. Heritage Oak Joinery approached it completely differently. They assessed the damage carefully, explained the traditional methods required, and carried out the repairs using high‑quality materials and techniques that will last for generations.

No shortcuts, no upselling — just skilled, thoughtful conservation work. The difference in stability and appearance is remarkable. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them.
