A building is like a face. The architect
creates the shape – the proportions and
features. But it’s the detail and finish
that complete the character, giving
the face expression and individuality.
Making it smile.
Good joinery is key. It can make the
difference between a lifeless box and a
welcoming, memorable space that’s a
joy to live and or work in. It can cover
essential elements, like windows, doors
and staircases, and unique special
features, from the purely decorative to
the eminently functional. It can be at
the cutting edge of modern design, or
it can hark back to a gentler age. With
the help of our unique bespoke joinery
workshop, it can do almost anything you
want it to do.
We design, build and install bespoke
furniture for individual homeowners,
hoteliers, universities, retailers, schools,
interior designers and architects. For
many years we have taken pride in
producing the highest quality, bespoke
architectural joinery for a range of
diverse clients with highest expectations.
You can commission us before, during
or after a project is underway, and from
our base in Scotland, we can service
just about anywhere in the UK.
There’s virtually no limit to what we can
achieve. A sleek, imposing reception
desk for an office complex, architraves
for a restored Georgian manor house,
a stairway for a cutting-edge duplex
apartment, a unique storage system for
a cellar full of precious vintage wines.
Equally, if you need simple solutions
for skirting, panelling, windows and
other essential elements, we’ll apply the
same exacting standards of quality and
craftsmanship.
Because in joinery, the difference
between the beautiful and the ordinary
comes down to skill, care and quality.
Or in one word, craftsmanship.

QUALITY& CRAFTSMANSHIP
E X E M P L A R Y S E R V I C E ,
FF& CRAF& CRAFFFFFOur service is led by dedicated,
experienced managers, each with a
great understanding of the craft of
joinery. Moreover, they also have a
track record of working with architects,
builders, specifiers and homeowners
to achieve the best and most efficient
solutions, choosing materials and
techniques to suit the overall design and
working alongside our clients to advise,
guide and ultimately deliver superb
pieces of work. We work with each
client closely whether a homeowner or
a professional, to help develop ideas,
find cost effective solutions, inspire and
delight.
Once a project is planned, our
craftsmen come into their own. We
employ a team of highly skilled,
experienced joiners. To work with us,
they need to demonstrate complete
mastery of their craft, as well as attention
to detail, reliability and imagination.
Our people are the best, and they take
enormous satisfaction in delivering a
superb service.
We can produce any form of traditional
architectural joinery, and many specialist
areas and new techniques – in fact we’ll
be delighted to consider and quote on
any piece of work. With an on-site paint
shop and coatings service, we can go
far beyond the joinery service to provide
a true finished product to meet your
specification.
We produce all work to the highest
standards of finish and fit on site as
required. Our projects range from
individual pieces and restoration pieces
to whole home, building interiors and
project specific fit out furniture for
retailers and hotels.
And as buildings continue to change
with wear and use, and because timber
is a living, breathing material, we pride
ourselves on offering an exemplary after-
sales service. Whenever you need our
help, you can rely on our full attention.
Bespoke solid timber cabinets installed to receive server canopies in a five star hotel and restaurant. The installation was constructed to suit the exact requirement of the refrigeration and food chiller plant for the kitchen server areas in the restaurant.
Ristol Homes
For Studio Ristol our craftsmen undertook fit-out
works for dressing rooms, vanity cabinets and
bathroom fit-out works. Each of these projects
required our team to work with designers and
clients to meet exacting standards from these
individually designed high specification homes.
Wallace High School
The works involved cabinets for trophy storage
in solid timber, coloured veneers and glass. All
reception desks were bespoke for the individual
school environment with integral voice, power/data
and secure roller shutter installations.
Abertay University – Centre of Excellence
in Computer Games Education
The ‘Ribbon Lighting Structure’ which connects
the entrance to the reception desk and on
throughout the facility was constructed in
prefabricated units in our joinery workshop
and transported to site in sections for speed of
installation. The installation also had complex
services installations which were co-ordinated and
installed by our team on site. The structure was
then finished in high gloss acrylic panels and a
polymer stretch fabric.
Abertay University Library
This project also involved the
production of a specific storage and
seating installation, known as the
‘Think Pod’ within the library. This
required the creation of a curved
seating unit within a wall storage unit.
The piece was constructed in solid
timber with the seating upholstery
installed on site. This also had lighting
and data feeds for connection to the
University network.
Abertay University
Display cabinets constructed of veneered
panels with integral lighting. The installation was
undertaken during nightshift operations so as to
not affect the day to day running of the university,
which was operational throughout the contract.
We can take care of every aspect of
the project from beginning to end.
We can complete any joinery tasks,
from stairways to reception desks
and from shelving to doors. But
we can also deliver unique, one-off
projects. Creative, innovative new
designs. Sustainable, ecological
solutions. Sensitive restoration of
unique and historic buildings. We
can do it all.
You don’t need to examine the work
of a particular craftsman or ask for
his reference, because we do that.
You don’t need to worry that your
designs are not achievable because
we bring together our expertise with
that of the designer. And there’s
no need for you to find a painter or
finisher to work on the project after
we’ve installed our work, because
we’ll do that for you too.
Above all, you’ll get exactly what
you’ve asked for, finished to the
highest quality.
Stewart Milne Group has become
one of the UK’s leading forces in
the building, timber frame and
construction industries through

reputation. And we’re not about
to let anything spoil that.

HISTORYHERITAGE&VISION
C R A F T B O R N O F
HERHERRRITAGITAGFounded by Stewart Milne CBE in
Aberdeen in 1975, our Group has
grown to become one of Britain’s
biggest and best-respected building
companies.
A highly successful brand in
residential development under
the Stewart Milne Homes name,
the Group also includes Timber
Systems, in which we lead
the industry in innovation and
sustainable solutions, supplying
timber frame systems and
products to many other builders
and developers. In commercial
development, we have a proven
track record in identifying, securing
and developing highly successful
sites throughout the UK. And in
collaboration with developers,
local and national government,
industrial and commercial clients,
our construction division has been
responsible for some of the most
successful and high-profile public
and private sector developments.
Fine joinery has always been part of
our work, and over the years we’ve
amassed a wealth of experience
and skills through working on our
own projects and for our clients.
Our bespoke joinery workshop has
evolved as we’ve built a team of
dedicated, skilled joiners, as well
as project managers who combine
commercial awareness with an
innovative approach to design,
problem solving and service.
Our workshop has the skills and
capabilities to work for you, whether
you’re an individual home-owner,
an architect, project manager or
specifier, or you’re responsible
for large projects in building,
commercial development or
retailing.
The receptions desks in the main foyer of this luxury hotel were produced by our master craftsmen using end-grain veneers to bespoke architectural designs. The desk itself was produced within the workshop and our team of craftsmen then carried out the co-ordination of services and installation on site.

We’d very much like to discuss a specific project if you have one in mind. If that’s not the case at the
moment, we’d still like to meet, so that we can demonstrate the skills and capabilities of our workshop in
more detail. We will be delighted to visit you on site or at your office, or to arrange for you to come to us.
To begin with, please email or call us. We’ll build from there...
