A new build in the hills
Wide sliding doors, timber-clad panels between them and a raised deck looking out over the garden. Inside, the rooms are bright and simple, with light from floor to ceiling.

Joinery, built properly
and built to last
Good joinery isn’t complicated. It just takes care.
Turn up when you say you will. Measure twice. Keep the place tidy. Tell people the truth about what their house needs, and do the work well enough that it’s still right in twenty years. That’s how we’ve built our name across Ayrshire, one kitchen, door and deck at a time.

The garden room
An outdoor room built for Scottish evenings: a covered deck with slatted timber screens and lights set into the roof, so it gets used long after the sun goes down.

A living room, rebuilt
Taken back to the bones so the new room could start square and level. A steel boxed in, a recessed ceiling framed and boarded, new doors hung, and a media wall with the cables hidden away.

Cladding, put right
Rot had got into the fascia and some of the gable boards. We cut out the damaged timber, let new boards in between the old and stained them to match, so you’d struggle to see where the repair was.

About us
An unusual route to the tools
David started out as a joiner, then spent a number of years in the prison service before coming back to the trade. It’s not the usual path, but it’s where the standards were set: honesty, reliability, staying calm under pressure and treating people with respect, especially in their own homes.
Today Ayrshire Timber Works is a small, close team. We’re the people who quote, the people who turn up, and the people who answer the phone when you have a question.
“Clear communication, fair pricing and making sure people feel comfortable in their own home are things we care about deeply.”
David, founder
We turn upOn the day and at the time we agreed.
We keep you postedNo guessing what’s happening in your own home.
We tidy as we goAnd take the rubbish away when we leave.
We give honest adviceEven when the answer is you don’t need us.
A note on timber
Choosing the right wood
Every timber behaves differently, indoors and out. Here are the ones we’re asked about most. Choose one to see what it’s good for.
Durability is the EN 350 rating for heartwood against rot, from 1 (very durable) to 5 (not durable). Figures are typical published values for guidance; every board is different, and we’ll always advise for your actual job.

Questions
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. A sticking door or a single window is as welcome as a full renovation, and we’ll often sort the wee extras while we’re there.
Can you help at short notice?
Often, yes. Call or WhatsApp and we’ll tell you straight away when we can get to you.
How does pricing work?
Quotes are free with no obligation. Send a couple of photos and a description and we’ll tell you whether we need to come out. You get a clear price and timescale before any work starts.
Can you help me choose the timber?
Of course. We’ll talk you through what suits the job, the look you want and your budget.
Do you tidy up after?
Always. Work areas are left clean and the rubbish is taken away when we finish.
Can you build to my drawings?
Yes. Timber frame, extensions and bespoke joinery are built to your drawings or specification.
Do you offer a blue light discount?
Yes. Just mention it when you get in touch.
