Cedar have recently completed a full renovation of our basement flat. It is a very old property which presented a number of challenges. From the outset Hamish and the Cedar Team impressed us with their thoughtful and professional approach. Communication was excellent throughout and we were encouraged to visit the site and discuss progress – everyone on the team was approachable, whilst the site was kept neat and tidy. Any challenges that arose were fully discussed, with flexible and pragmatic solutions arrived at. Cedar were always willing to spend time discussing the options with us and supportive of the decisions made. Cedar worked creatively and collaboratively to realise our ideas, whilst project and cost management were exemplary. Cedar’s joiners, led expertly by Cal created a new bathroom/utility room, bespoke sliding doors and birch ply wardrobes which are all functional and stylish. Overall the professionalism and attention to detail on the was job second to none. It’s been a real pleasure to have Hamish and everyone at Cedar work on our home – thanks! Hilda & Craig

We really enjoyed working with Cedar on a recent full renovation project of a townhouse. Hamish and his team were very attentive, the workmanship was great and the communication excellent. Overall a very professional outfit and we hope we get the opportunity to work with them on future projects.

We employed Cedar to totally refurbish our kitchen. The results have exceeded our expectations and we were very happy with their workmanship. They were a good bunch of people to work with and they cleared up well at the end of the project.

Cedar carried out an all-trades, full kitchen, utility and office/snug renovation in our flat. The work included rewiring, floor sanding and decoration throughout, and opening up access from the kitchen out to the garden. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Professional but personal, they were a pleasure to work with and have on site at all times. They have a sharp attention to detail from initial contact to final snagging and nothing was too much trouble, going above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final results. I would happily work with the whole team again, I just need to find the next project… :-)

Absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend the team at Cedar Developments more highly. We worked with Joe and the team at Cedar on the refurbishment of our optometry practice in Marchmont. The whole process from initial design, to build stage and final handover was extremely professional. The quality of the bespoke joinery, craftsmanship and finish is exceptional and regularly commented on by our clients. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Worked with Cedar to construct and outdoor office. The workmanship was absolutely first class and we’re thrilled with the end result. Also, the project management was excellent, we were kept informed of the timeline, any challenges and it was clear that the team really cared. One of the best things was the team on the ground were great - always happy to explain each stage of the build and advise on implications of decisions we were considering- even happy to play with the dog! Highly recommend Cedar.

I am absolutely delighted with the decking which the Cedar team have built in my garden. It’s stunning! The workmanship is of a high quality and I would highly recommend them. They also build a shed/bar for my garden which has received lots of compliments. Joe does a great job of client management checking in to make sure I know what is going on and that I’m happy. Overall professional job. Thanks to Muro and Hamish too!

Christine, who is 82, asked me to write this review on her behalf... Her exact words about Joseph are.... Joseph is very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and understanding. He fixed my door efficiently and to my complete satisfaction. Joseph is lovely and I would have him back anytime. I highly recommend him.

Joe was so quick to organise a plumber for me and I was very grateful. They worked efficiently and fixed the problem quickly too. Many thanks Joe!
