Amazing service From Alen and his team. His quote beat the competition by far, but without any compromise on the windows. We were only planning to have new wooden double glazed windows for the front of the house, but were actually able to have new windows for the whole house. Alen also made suggestions which we had not thought about. He said we would have beautiful new windows and he has delivered. Clean, polite and kept informed throughout the process. Wholeheartedly recommended.
DESIGN AND BUILD WITH ROBBIE .. For anyone that doesn’t know me, I’m Robbie, a carpenter from Cumbernauld that designs and builds interior renovation projects, in and around the central west belt of Scotland. When you have a project fitted out with Your Virtual Room - Design and Build, it will be designed, project managed and installed by me (and my team of trades) no middle men, no missed detail, no extra cost. I have invested, and utilize the most up to date design software to show your bespoke designs with Virtual Reality and HD renders, I take the time at the start of the process to ensure all details are correct before commencing with your installation, once you’re happy with the final design, we get to work and create your perfect room! Unlike larger scaled companies, all details are covered by myself and I like to hand over a room ready for the customer to come in and relax, taking care of all trades right up to the last lick of paint! As the designer and installer, I have the advantage of creating bespoke design solutions for your particular requirements, that larger more scaled companies cannot offer.

Now I have more capacity to take on new joinery or carpentry work. The photos I have uplifted are from work undertaken over the last 5 years.
Very good value for money, high standard of work and would recommend them again

I was apprehensive appointing someone through a website, but so glad I did Carl was great, from a very informative initial meeting and then estimate all the way through to completion of 1 ensuite, 1 small family bathroom and 1 small downstairs toilet. He was full of useful ideas which helped the project go smoothly. Due to the nature of this project, flexibility was key and he excelled in this regards. Thanks Carl for making the bathrooms so much better,
