WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
Carpenters. Properly Planned.
The scope is reviewed around the property, existing condition and the result you need.
Built to suit the space
London properties often contain uneven walls, older plaster, deep skirtings and non-standard openings.
Repairs before replacement
Loose joints, split trim, damaged thresholds and localised rot may sometimes be repaired, but only after the cause is understood.

Everyday carpentry and joinery
Typical requests include fitting shelves, repairing timber trim, adjusting internal doors, replacing skirting, installing architrave, boxing in services and adapting simple storage. Each job depends on the substrate, dimensions and finish expected. Photographs help, but accurate site measurements are usually required before custom pieces or materials are ordered. We describe the intended result and any visible limitations before cutting or fixing begins.
Built to suit the space
London properties often contain uneven walls, older plaster, deep skirtings and non-standard openings. A made-to-fit detail may need scribes, packers or a deliberate reveal rather than pretending the building is perfectly square. We consider loading, access and how the item will be cleaned or maintained. For shelving, the wall construction and proposed contents matter as much as width and colour.
Repairs before replacement
Loose joints, split trim, damaged thresholds and localised rot may sometimes be repaired, but only after the cause is understood. Persistent moisture or insect activity requires appropriate investigation. A cosmetic patch over unstable timber will not provide a durable result. We assess what can reasonably be retained, what should be replaced and whether another trade must resolve water ingress, masonry or structural movement first.

CAREFUL PROPERTY WORK
Doors, hardware and alignment
Doors, hardware and alignment
Door work can include easing, hinge adjustment, latch fitting and selected repair. Movement may come from paint build-up, loose hinges, seasonal timber change or distortion in the frame. Fire doors and controlled communal doors have specific performance requirements and must not be altered casually. We flag those cases and avoid changes that could compromise certification, security or safe escape.
Materials and finishing
Timber species, sheet material and finish affect appearance, stability and budget. Moisture-resistant products may be appropriate in selected locations, but no board should be treated as immune to ongoing water exposure. Decide whether the final item will be painted, stained or left clear because that changes material selection and surface preparation. Decorating can be coordinated as a separate finishing stage where required.
A useful brief for your carpenter
Provide dimensions, overview and close-up photographs, the intended load or use, preferred finish and any access limitations. For fitted work, explain sockets, pipes and cables nearby. Clear the work zone and discuss dust protection for occupied rooms. A detailed brief helps distinguish a small same-visit repair from work requiring survey, drawings, material sourcing and a return installation.

CARPENTERS FAQ
Before You Book
Useful answers for planning the work.
Can you make shelves for an alcove?
Yes, subject to survey, wall condition, intended loading and finish requirements.
Do you repair rotten timber?
Local repairs may be possible once the moisture source and extent are understood; extensive decay may require replacement.
Can you alter a fire door?
Only work consistent with its tested and certified performance should be considered. Specialist advice may be required.
Will you supply materials?
Supply can be included when the specification is agreed; bespoke items generally require measurement first.
Can carpentry be painted afterwards?
Yes. Agree the intended coating so suitable materials and preparation are used.
