How we work

Consultation & Planning

We will discuss your requirements in detail and outline our approach to materials, design and project managment for all aspects of the work.

Design & Construction

Our expert team will produce thorough designs of your joinery project before construction begins at our workshop, updating you with progress throughout.

Fitting & Finishing

We are able to fit your new joinery in place if required, paying particular attention to the finishing details and ensuring our work integrates with the rest of your home.

Our materials

Choosing the right wood for your joinery project is crucial so we work with a range of timbers to provide you with the best possible results, whether inside or outside. We aim to use sustainable, environmentally friendly practices and materials wherever possible, including the use of Accoya timber whenever practical. Here’s a list of some of the woods we commonly use.

Accoya

A modified softwood that is stable and durable, resisting rot and defying local weather conditions. Accoya has an ideal surface for painting and comes with a guarantee for 50 years in above ground conditions.

Douglas Fir

Strong and stable wood that’s lighter than many comparable hardwoods.

Idigbo

A durable, long-lasting wood with an attractive grain that is ideal for furniture.

Oak

Extremely popular wood with outstanding durability and a beautiful finish. One of numerous hardwoods we use for exterior work.

Tulipwood

A light, cost-effective timber that we use extensively for interior doors.

Redwood

Its straight grain and tough qualities make it a superb choice for skirtings and architraves.
