Barkers Custom Builds

My sincere apologies for the lack of communication. Unfortunately, I have been unwell for the past two weeks and unable to respond to messages. I hope to be back in touch next week.

Thank you for your understanding,

Barker Custom Builds

Another beautiful wardrobe and drawers fitted in an amazing townhouse in the heart of Inverness. Huge thanks to Rachel and her partner for the opportunity to build this unit. Getting started wouldn't have been possible without the risks taken by the customer on this out of town English man.

I work solo to try and keep this business and struggling trade alive. Like many small businesses, we are really struggling to complete against the giants with cheap labour cheap materials in a throw away generation. Whether we like it or not, we are in a war to survive. Only the people can save the people, only we can build a future for our children. Not our Councils, not our Government's.

No one individual is perfect, but as a team, we have traits that built empires, we didn't do it alone we can't put any, one individual in a box . Turn to your neighbour and start looking for the good in a negative world. We have all built wealth, now let's learn to keep it 💪

Lovely window seat finished to match the beautiful window panelling. Nothing beats the architecture and character of town houses. No other line of work matches the joy of trying to match the craftsmanship of the old timers. A dying craft a dying skill.

Phone back just in time for this beautiful desk installation. Massive thanks to Mike Gow and his lovely partner for allowing me to create this amazing desk and bookshelves. The pressure was on with Mike being a member of the Surface Dr team, if your know their work, you know the magic these guys create if you damage anything, absolute miracle workers. But I knew I needed to bring my A game. It has been an amazing opportunity, so thank you so much

Hi Everyone, For anyone trying to ring or get hold of me, I have broken my phone. I say me! but its just a black screen so I apologize for any inconvenience if anyone has tried to ring me today

Huge thanks to my recent customers for this gorgeous black bar and oak wine rack, finished with a solid oak worktop. You where an absolute pleasure to work for.

Custom built shoe rack from M.R mdf and finished in scuffX. I have to admit I absolutely loved this colour. Awesome pick, Amanda. Thank you

Photos to suit the Custom Games room build.

Huge thanks to Shireen for the opportunity to build this lovely pantry, completely custom build using M.R MDF finished in EllE

Huge thanks to Tanya and Paul. You have been amazing customers from start to finish. And for your patience over the LED lights 😉. Caulked, crown on lights in fully completed. It is a fantastic build for a well-deserved family. Thank you for your trust and belief in us

Just finished up on the smaller wardrobe, the double door to the right, after requiring the radiator to be moved along a few feet. Typical last length of skirting being 20mm to small, for F💣 sake 🫣🤣🤣.

Huge thanks to an awesome customer, Karen in drum for this fabulous build a few before and afters. This year has had its highs and some deep lows, as with the beginnings of any business. But I cannot thank the support and fantastic customers I've had this year. I've made Scotland my home, and you have shown your beauty. Thank you all so much for your trust and friendship

Full Combe installation in Inverness for a fantastic couple. This was a very specific build where the clients didn't want cupboards but opted for full height doors to maximise space and with a clean look. It's challenging but not impossible. All completed with fully custom-built drawers. Build fully sprayed and finished in a matt by Elle. All units constructed from M.R MDF and extremely durable

Popped back to caulk and touch up a previous job after the plasterers have been in and finished. I love to see how spaces are utilised after installation. Just Beautiful. Yes that's my ugly mug in one of them, I'm no photographer 🤣

Sometimes you have to be you and just be real... Enjoy your highs and lows, show the world that your business is human and in life failure is just a way to learn and adapt... ARGHHHHHHH, this job hates me 🤬🤬🤬 arghhhhh. So the new LED arrived. The wrong colour white (FROM THE ORDER). I'm just off to have a deep cry 🤣. But Enjoy this so close to finish build 🤣🤣🤣. Deepest respect to my lovely customers taking this on the chin like champs. DO NOT MENTION THE 2ND LIGHT DOWN BEING A DIFFERENT COLOUR🤬😭😭😭

A few pictures of the installation under the stairs

I've been slacking on the posts, so here is a custom-built oak ladder. No ugly fixings or screws, just a dovetail style joint, holding the whole ladder together. Ready for its placement shortly

So close but all so far... one of them jobs... 🤬🤬🤬 🤣 LED lighting controller arghhhhh. Just Don't make them like they used too
