Frequently Asked Questions: Bespoke Joinery

What types of wood do you specialise in?

We work extensively with European Oak for its durability and grain. We also use a variety of softwoods and hardwoods depending on whether the project is structural or decorative.

Can you match existing woodwork in a heritage property?

We specialise in heritage restoration. We can replicate historical profiles for skirtings, architraves, and timber beams to ensure your renovation remains authentic to its period.

Is bespoke joinery more expensive than off-the-shelf options?

Costs depend on the design, materials and fitting requirements. Bespoke joinery is made to fit your specific space perfectly, allows a choice of materials and finishes suited to your project.

Do you provide structural oak framing?

We have extensive experience in creating structural oak frames for garden rooms, extensions, and decorative interior features that provide a timeless, high-end finish.

How do I maintain my new oak floor or joinery?

We recommend specific oils or waxes depending on the finish. We provide full aftercare advice for every installation to ensure the timber ages beautifully and remains protected.

BESPOKE WOODSTORE.

We handcrafted this bespoke woodstore for a client who wanted a dedicated place to keep logs for their fire pit. Fitted against the side of the house, the store uses reclaimed larch that we planed and cut to size, with a shingle roof to help shelter the logs.

An enclosed cupboard provides space for a bin, keeping it out of sight. The project combines practical outdoor storage with the character of reclaimed timber.

The gallery also shows a period porch refurbishment. We repaired timber affected by rot and damp and added leadwork to the canopy, restoring the entrance while retaining its character.
