Overview
What time-served carpentry actually buys you
Carpentry is the trade where corners cut don't show on day one — they show six months in, when the architrave gaps open up, the door sticks in winter, or the alcove shelves bow under the weight of books. Time-served work doesn't do that.
We cover everything from first-fix carpentry on extensions and conversions to bespoke fitted furniture, staircases, doors and decorative joinery. Every fix is scribed flush to the existing walls and floors — not packed out and filled.
Who it's for
Homeowners wanting fitted wardrobes, alcove storage, staircases or replacement doors. Also extensions and conversions needing first and second fix carpentry.
When you need it
When you've outgrown freestanding furniture, when the staircase is dated or unsafe, or when off-the-shelf doors don't match the period of the house.
Why use a professional
Walls aren't square, floors aren't level, ceilings dip. Good carpentry hides all of this through proper scribing and packing — not by leaving caulk-filled gaps.
Why It Matters
Where DIY and cheap-bid carpentry fails
We're often called to put right joinery that looked fine for a week and terrible by month three.
RISK 01
Architraves caulked instead of scribed
Modern caulks crack within a year as timber moves with humidity. Scribed joints stay closed for decades.
RISK 02
Skirting not coped at corners
Mitred internal corners open up. Coped joints stay tight no matter how the timber moves.
RISK 03
Doors hung out of plumb
Unbalanced hinges, doors that swing themselves shut, latches that don't catch. A two-hour fix becomes a two-day rebuild.
RISK 04
Fitted wardrobes not fixed to studs
Plasterboard alone won't hold a loaded wardrobe. We always locate timber framing or use proper toggle anchors rated for the load.
RISK 05
Stair risers and treads creaking
Glue-and-screw fixings done badly mean every step announces itself at 3am. We rebuild with PU adhesive and stainless ring-shanks.
