George Herkes & Son Joinery is a family joinery business in Tranent, East Lothian, that has been trading since 1989 and now counts 36 years of experience behind it. It is an East Lothian Trusted Trader member and carries 62 reviews from customers in the local area.
The work divides into five areas: kitchen installation, general joinery, renovations, doors and windows, and conversions. On kitchens, the team works with customers on the design first, whether the brief is modern and minimalist or a more classic and timeless look, then handles the installation itself. Bespoke joinery covers fitted wardrobes, fitted cupboards, shelving and staircases, built around the dimensions and character of the property rather than assembled from off the shelf units. Loft conversions and garage conversions turn unused parts of a house into rooms that earn their place. Doors and windows are fitted as part of a renovation or on their own, and full home and bathroom renovations are taken on as complete projects.
The firm covers Tranent and the surrounding East Lothian villages, with Elphinstone among the areas it names specifically.
What the business argues for, in its own words, is that the quality of the workmanship behind a project is what decides whether it lasts. Skilled joinery is not just fitting timber components together; it is creating solutions tailored to a particular property so that each feature suits the style of the house while making the most of the space available. The company's case for bespoke work is that it lets you use awkward areas, build practical storage, improve how rooms flow into one another, add character that a standard product cannot, and increase the appeal and value of the property.
In practice that shows up as four commitments: custom designs worked out with the customer, craftsmanship using premium materials chosen for durability, professional installation completed on time by a dedicated team, and attention to the small details, down to cabinet hardware and finishing touches. The firm's view is that experienced joiners save money over the life of a project, because good workmanship means fewer repairs, adjustments and replacements later.
Traditional craftsmanship combined with modern techniques is how the business describes its approach, and most of its reputation has been built across the local area over more than three decades. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
