FAQ'S

We predominantly use MDF to build the client’s bespoke furniture. The reasons we use this engineered wood is down to its durability and versatility. Engineered wood is hard to crack or flex and is generally smooth meaning it is easier to sand, prime and hand-painted without having to worry about knots in the finished product.

Due to the nature of bespoke carpentry and that it is fitted precisely to the client’s space no matter how wonky the ceiling, walls and floors may be we always build and fit on-site. However we pre-cut the wood off-site in our workshop and have this delivered to your home which does help to reduce the amount of dust and noise in your home. We do keep disruption to a bear minimum as we are very aware that more and more people are also working from home so we arrange things to get your work done as efficiently and quickly as possible.

We pride ourselves on our efficiency and time keeping. We are aware that our clients want the units to be built and installed as quickly as possible with no time wasted and that’s what we endeavour to do on each project. Depending on the size and complexity of the carpentry work we begin and complete within a satisfactory time frame whilst keeping the room tidy.

Once your enquiry has been answered either by phone or email or both:

  1. We book you in to measure up the space and go over your plans for your new furniture – discussing all options.
  2. Following on from there we will send you a full and detailed quotation.
  3. Once you’ve decided to go ahead your job will be scheduled in for the next available time.
  4. We will ask you for a 20% deposit and once this is paid we will send you drawings of your piece. At this time you have the opportunity to make any adjustments you want to your design; we will revise the drawings until you fully approve of them.

Alcove Shelving

Alcove shelving and floating shelves are versatile built-in additions to any room. Whether you want to display loved items, create an attractive centrepiece, or simply add storage, bespoke carpentry offers limitless possibilities.

These shelves can be hand-crafted to match the existing room’s style, or stand out as eye-catching accents. For example, fitting LED lighting under each shelf illuminates and adorns cherished displayed memorabilia. Their floating design creates a sense of space and openness, making even the smallest alcoves feel more expansive.

Alcove Wardrobes

In more traditional homes the chimney breast extends up to the bedrooms, so many bedrooms in London have natural alcoves. Fitting bespoke wardrobes floor to ceiling capitalises on this empty space or where clutter can pile up. With a custom design for the interior and exterior, clients can choose the interior storage from shelves, to drawers, to clothing rails and then even to the type of wood, finish, and style of their alcove bedroom cupboards to match their existing décor and personal taste.

Overall, alcove wardrobes offer a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution for utilising unused alcove spaces in a home.

These cupboards are perfect for storing a wide range of items, from books and decorative objects in the living room to clothing and linens in the bedroom. By making the most of these alcoves, you not only gain valuable storage space but also enhance the room’s overall design.

Alcove Storage Units

It is wiser to invest in built-in storage cupboards than in pre-made furniture because alcove cupboards can be customised to perfectly fit the specific dimensions of the alcove area, creating a seamless and integrated look. Additionally, alcove units can provide more storage space than pre-made furniture, as they can utilise the full height and depth of the alcove. This saves more floor space to play with.
