Bespoke Kitchens
We create fully custom kitchens without standard ranges, offering complete design freedom. Our kitchens use solid birch plywood carcasses and dovetail joint drawers for exceptional durability. We work with clients to incorporate UK-grown hardwoods and premium materials like Corian worktops. Each kitchen combines traditional joinery techniques with modern manufacturing for lasting quality and aesthetic appeal.
External Joinery
Our external products include sash windows, flush casement windows, and front doors made from Accoya timber with Teknos coatings. These materials provide 50-year rot warranties and extended maintenance cycles. We use traditional construction methods alongside modern adhesives to create weather-resistant joinery that maintains aesthetic appeal while withstanding UK climate conditions.
Finishing Services
Our dedicated finishing room applies high-quality coatings using advanced paint delivery systems. We use Teknos products for both opaque and stained finishes, achieving 10-12 year maintenance cycles. The facility enables controlled environment finishing for both external joinery and fine furniture, with colour matching to any commercial shade chart for bespoke finish options.
Bespoke Cabinetry
We produce made-to-measure cabinetry for bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces. Our unique dovetail joint construction and mixed timber species create distinctive, handcrafted pieces. The cabinetry combines functional design with artistic elements, using responsibly sourced materials and traditional joinery techniques to ensure longevity and aesthetic value.
Staircases
Our bespoke staircases are crafted using traditional woodworking methods combined with modern engineering. We create designs that complement both contemporary and period properties, using high-quality timber and precise joinery techniques. Each staircase is manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic harmony with the surrounding architecture.
