What every fitted furniture job includes
True whichever piece you are having built, whatever the size of the job.
Materials you can see agreed upfront
We only use materials we trust and can rely on, and we would rather not take a job than use the wrong ones for it.
Site visits before anything is built
Multiple site visits are normally undertaken to finalise the details before the design is signed off.
Drawings before the build starts
Pen sketches, drawings, or AI-generated visuals, so you see the piece before it is made.
Floors protected, dust extraction running
Dust extraction is used throughout, and the site is left tidier than we found it at the end of every day.
The same standard whatever the size of the job
A single shelf gets the same care as a full room of built-in storage.
Public liability cover up to £5 million
Insured through Direct Line, with £10,000 tool cover and £50,000 accident cover.
How a fitted furniture job runs
The same sequence for a single alcove unit or a whole room of built-in storage.

Sincerely recommend this company it's very refreshing to see a trade person who is proud of his craftsmanship. He is really an artist did not leave a spec of dust Thank you Alex
Nick F.
Alex is fantastic, really diligent and a great guy to have help with a project. He has just laid a solid wooden floor for me. It looks brilliant. The trouble is I'm not sure it's such a great idea to give him a great review as it will make him even more popular and in demand
John B.
What a find a decent ,hardworking person who loves his trade and it shows in his workmanship absolutely excellent. Will be recommending him to anyone who wants any sort of carpentry job. On a final note very reasonably priced for the craftsmanship.

Fitted furniture and bespoke joinery, explained
Fitted furniture is measured to the room it goes in, not the other way round. An alcove either side of a chimney breast is rarely the same width as the one in the photo a customer has seen online, a ceiling can drop a few centimetres from one end of a wall to the other, and a media wall built to hide cabling has to work with whatever socket and aerial positions the room already has. That is why a fitted job starts with more than a site visit: the design that gets drawn up, whether as a pen sketch or an AI-generated visual, is drawn against the actual space rather than a standard size.
Bespoke joinery covers the piece a fitted range does not: a freestanding unit built for one specific spot, a run of shelving that has to step around a boiler or a meter cupboard, or trim that has to match doors and skirting fitted elsewhere in the same house. The material choice matters as much as the design. We only use materials we trust and can rely on, and would rather not take a job on than use the wrong ones for it, whether that is a manufactured board that will not hold a heavy TV bracket or a timber that will not sit well against an existing skirting profile.
What moves the price on a fitted furniture job is the size of the piece, the number of units, the finish (painted, veneered or solid timber), how much of the existing room needs to change to fit it, and access to the property. None of that can be priced honestly from a photo, which is why every job here is quoted after a visit rather than against a fixed figure: a number that has not seen the room is a number the quote then has to explain away.
The same carpenter measures, designs and fits the piece, bringing in help only on the bigger jobs, so nothing is lost between the person who took the measurements and the person cutting the material. If the same house needs doors, skirting or flooring finished to match, that runs alongside the fitted furniture rather than as a separate job with a separate trade to coordinate.
Fitted furniture and bespoke joinery: questions we get asked
Answered plainly, then quote us on the detail that applies to your room.
How do you make sure a fitted wardrobe or alcove unit actually fits?
We measure on site before anything is designed or ordered, and multiple site visits are normally undertaken to finalise the details. Alcoves and rooms are rarely as square as they look, so the piece is built to the exact dimensions of your space rather than adapted from a standard size.
Can you match new fitted furniture to my existing doors and skirting?
Yes. We also fit doors, skirting and architrave, so a media wall, bookcase or alcove unit can be finished to match the woodwork already in the room instead of looking like a separate addition.
How much does fitted furniture cost?
It depends on the size of the piece, the number of units, the finish and how much of the room needs to change to fit it, so we do not put a figure on it here. Every job is quoted after a site visit, in writing, once we know exactly what is involved.
Do I need to be around while the work is done?
Having a tradesman in your house can be hard for some people, so we keep it simple: floors are protected, dust extraction runs throughout, and the site is left tidier than we found it at the end of every day.
Do you build bespoke pieces that are not built-in, like a freestanding unit?
Yes, freestanding bespoke furniture is something we build alongside the fitted ranges, made to the same standard and from the same trusted materials.
What happens if something is not right once the job is finished?
If something is not right after we have finished, we come back and put it right.
