Carpentry and Joinery Services in London

Carpentry runs through almost every building project — from the stud walls and door linings of first fix to the doors, skirting and storage of second fix. We carry out carpentry and joinery across London, as part of larger projects or as standalone work.

What can affect the quotation

  • A description or sketch of the work
  • Dimensions of the areas involved
  • Photographs of the existing space
  • Any particular materials or styles you have in mind

Materials and finish options

  • Kiln-dried and graded structural timber
  • MDF, hardwood or softwood joinery to suit the finish
  • Moisture-resistant materials for kitchens and bathrooms
  • Ironmongery fitted and adjusted as part of the work

Exclusions and specialist requirements

Bespoke joinery items are made to order and take longer than off-the-shelf items — we will agree lead times at quotation. Structural carpentry, such as trimming floors for staircases, may need structural design input, which we can provide through our design services.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build fitted wardrobes into an alcove?
Yes — alcove units and fitted storage are a regular part of our work, built to suit the exact dimensions of the space.
Do you hang doors the customer supplies?
Yes — we hang customer-supplied doors, including trimming, hinging and fitting handles and latches.
Can you match existing period skirting?
Usually — many period profiles are available from stock mouldings, and we can source or machine a match where they are not.
