who are we?

Hi, I’m Martin Johnstone – A Local Edinburgh Builder With Over 20 Years of Experience

I know how exciting (and stressful) home renovations can be.

In my 20+ years working in Edinburgh properties, I’ve seen too many homeowners make costly mistakes - hiring the wrong builder, underestimating the scope of work, or dealing with delays that drag on for months.

I’ve worked with hundreds of homeowners and first-time buyers, helping them create beautiful, functional spaces they love coming home to.

But I also know the renovation horror stories...

❌ Budgets spiralling out of control because of hidden costs.

❌ Contractors vanishing mid-project, leaving homes in chaos.

❌ Structural issues overlooked, leading to dangerous problems down the line.

❌ Months of delays, with no end in sight.

This should never happen to you.

Here's what some recent client's have said about working with Johnstone Joinery & Building...

  • "trusted, meticulous, reliable"

    “Martin undertook a significant transformation project in our house. He raised the lintel in the kitchen alcove to create space for a range cooker, he created an en suite toilet in the master bedroom and transformed our attic from bare boards and rafters into a spacious walled, shelved storage space with insulated hatch. Martin is a trusted, meticulous, reliable master craftsman who creates spaces with creativity, ingenuity and precision from start to finish. We have been so happy with the work and can 100% recommend him as a safe pair of hands whatever the project"

    - Heather M, Edinburgh

  • "Exceptional Workmanship & Reliability"

    "Martin and his team completely transformed our period property while respecting its original character. He removed a structural wall to create an open-plan living space and seamlessly integrated new flooring and joinery. His attention to detail was second to none, and his communication throughout the process made everything stress-free. It’s rare to find a builder who is both meticulous and genuinely invested in the project’s success. Highly recommended!"

    — Sarah & Tom, Edinburgh

  • "A Safe Pair of Hands for Any Renovation"

    From the initial consultation to the final touches, Martin was an absolute professional. He reconfigured our kitchen layout, installed a stunning bespoke pantry, and even handled unexpected structural challenges with ease. His problem-solving skills and craftsmanship are outstanding, and his reliability gave us peace of mind throughout the project. We wouldn't hesitate to work with him again!"

    — David R, Corstorphine
