Carpentry made for your space
From structural work to bespoke furniture. Open a service below when you need more detail.
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
- 04
Fitted furniture & wardrobes
Storage built into the room rather than standing in it.
More detail

Kitchen fitting
Supplied kitchens fitted properly, or built from scratch.
More detail
