Carpentry & Joinery
Site carpentry and made-to-measure joinery: roofs, floors and walls, doors and trim, built-in storage and the finishing details that make a room.
Carpentry that holds up – and looks right
Good carpentry is mostly invisible: floors that don’t bounce, doors that close with a click, a roof that stays where it was put. The rest is the detail you notice every day.
We do both kinds. On site, that’s structural timberwork – roofs, floors and stud walls – and the first and second fix that follows. Then there’s joinery made to fit: built-in storage for awkward alcoves, shelving, window seats and the finishing pieces that make a room feel complete.
Recent jobs range from refurbishing a dormer with a new sliding sash window to re-boarding a stable, building oak and larch porches, and fitting a wall of made-to-measure shelving. Carpentry runs through everything else we build too, so it’s the same care whether it’s part of an extension or a job on its own.

What we make
From the structure to the finish
Structural carpentry
Cut roofs, floor joists, stud walls and the timber frames inside extensions and conversions – built square, level and to the engineer’s spec.
First & second fix
Door linings, stairs and floors before the plaster; then doors, skirting, architrave and ironmongery after it, fitted tight and true.
Built-in storage
Alcove cupboards, shelving and under-stairs storage that make the most of the shape of the room instead of fighting it.
Bespoke joinery
Window seats, panelling and one-off pieces, made to measure for the space they’re going into.

Questions
Carpentry explained
What’s the difference between carpentry and joinery?
Carpentry is the work done on site – roofs, floors, walls, and fitting doors, frames and trim. Joinery is making the pieces themselves, such as made-to-measure cupboards, shelving or window seats. We do both, so a fitted piece can be made for the exact room it’s going into.
What do first fix and second fix mean?
First fix is everything done before the walls are plastered: structural timber, door linings, floors and the framing for stairs. Second fix comes after: hanging doors, fitting skirting and architrave, and the handles, hinges and locks. On an extension we do both.
Can you match existing woodwork in an older house?
Send us a photo of the skirting, architrave or door you want to match. Many older profiles are still made, and where they aren’t, there are usually good ways to get close – we’ll tell you what’s possible before any work starts.

A few details and a rough idea of what you have in mind is plenty. We’ll call or message you back to talk it through.
Thank you – that’s with us.
We’ll be in touch shortly to talk it through. Photos of the space help: you can send them on WhatsApp.
