How we keep it straightforward as a matter of routine
Most of the work is preparing: measuring, checking materials and agreeing what is included.

Before you ask
Questions we hear most, as we run it
Timber, lead times and finishes are the questions that come up most.
Do you work from my dimensions?
We measure ourselves, but your sketch or photograph helps explain what you want.
What timber do you use?
The timber is chosen per job and agreed with you, including its finish and durability.
How long does a job take?
A fitted unit is usually weeks rather than days, because it is made to measure. Lead time is confirmed when the design is agreed.
Can you match my existing woodwork?
Often, yes. A sample of the original helps match the timber and the finish.
