Our services

  • 01

    First fix carpentry

    The structural timber work that goes in before the plaster.

    More detail

    Everything that happens before the walls are closed up: floor joists, stud partitions, roof timbers, noggins and the timber grounds that later trades depend on. Set out accurately and level, so second fix goes on cleanly.

    • Stud walls & partitions
    • Floor joists & decking
    • Roof timbers & trusses
    • Door linings & window boards
  • 02

    Second fix carpentry

    The finishing carpentry you actually see and touch.

    More detail

    Hanging doors so they close properly, skirting and architrave with tight mitres, and the trim details that decide whether a room feels finished or almost finished. Scribed to the wall rather than filled.

    • Door hanging & ironmongery
    • Skirting & architrave
    • Boxing in & bulkheads
    • Shelving & storage
  • 03

    Bespoke joinery

    One-off pieces made to fit, where nothing off the shelf will do.

    More detail

    Designed around the space and made from solid timber or veneered board: alcove units, window seats, panelling, bar tops, reception desks. Drawn up and agreed with you before a single cut is made.

    • Alcove & media units
    • Wall panelling
    • Window seats & benches
    • Made to measure throughout

    Fitted furniture & wardrobes

    Storage built into the room rather than standing in it.

    More detail

    Fitted wardrobes, home offices and understairs storage that use the full height and depth of awkward spaces. Built to the room's real dimensions, including the walls that are not quite square.

    • Fitted wardrobes
    • Home offices & studies
    • Understairs storage
    • Bookcases & dressers
  • 05

    Kitchen fitting

    Supplied kitchens fitted properly, or built from scratch.

    More detail

    Fitting kitchens from any supplier, with carcasses levelled and joined, doors aligned, and worktops templated and scribed to the wall. We can also make bespoke units where a standard range will not fit the room.

    • Any supplier fitted
    • Worktop templating & scribing
    • Appliance installation
    • Bespoke units where needed
