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.
