Sandstone Tenement Flats
Red and blond blocks on the hill. Good-sized rooms, high ceilings, and kitchens that were built as sculleries and have been reworked since — usually with room to do it better.

Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and full refits for Yorkhill's tenement flats — the streets between Kelvingrove Park, the river and the old hospital site.
Tenement Joinery in Yorkhill
Yorkhill sits on the hill above the Clyde, bounded by Kelvingrove Park on one side and the redeveloped hospital site and the SEC on the others. It is a compact, well-connected pocket of the West End, close enough to the city centre to walk, and made up almost entirely of sandstone tenements.
The flats attract a broad mix: owner-occupiers who want a well-finished home near the park, professionals working in the city, and landlords with rental properties near the university and the hospital sites. We work for all of them, and the brief shifts accordingly — from a carefully specified kitchen in a family flat to a robust, quick-turnaround refit between tenants.
The tenement basics apply throughout: walk-up closes, tight parking, walls that are not square, and floors that carry sound to the neighbours. We have worked in enough of them to plan around all of it.
Yorkhill is a short drive from our base and we are happy to come and quote.
Homes We Work On in Yorkhill
Yorkhill is tenement territory, with the variation you would expect across a century of building.
Rental & Landlord Flats
Well-located stock near the park, the university and the city. Durable kitchens, wet-wall bathrooms and hard-wearing flooring, fitted fast between tenancies.
Refurbished & Converted Blocks
Tenements that have been renovated or converted in recent decades, sometimes with layouts that need rationalising and later joinery that needs replacing.
Newer Flats on the Hospital Site
Modern apartments on the redeveloped land. Developer kitchens and bathrooms that benefit from a proper upgrade, and built-in storage that was never provided.

Yorkhill Joinery FAQs
Do you do refits for landlords in Yorkhill?
Yes — it is a regular part of our work here. We fit durable kitchens, wet-wall bathrooms and hard-wearing flooring to a fixed date so the void period stays short, and we can liaise with your letting agent for access.
Can you fit a kitchen in a small tenement kitchen?
Yes. We re-plan the space to make the most of it, use full-height units where the ceiling allows, and scribe everything to the walls so there are no wasted gaps.
Will the work disturb the neighbours?
Some noise is unavoidable, but we keep noisy work to sensible hours, protect the common stair, and let you know in advance so you can warn neighbours. Acoustic underlay under new flooring helps long term.
Do you work in the newer flats on the old hospital site?
Yes. Those are modern apartments, so the work is more like a new-build refit: replacing developer kitchens and bathrooms and adding storage.
Is a quote free?
Yes. We come out, look at the flat, and give you a written price.
