Carpentry & Improvements

Bespoke work, built to last.

From fitted shelving to kitchen refurbishments — designed to suit the space, made properly, and finished to a standard that holds up over time.

Shelving & Storage

Bespoke shelving and fitted storage

Off-the-shelf storage rarely fits a room as well as something made for it. I design and build shelving that makes the most of the available space — whether that's a full alcove build-out, a utility room overhaul, or a more practical kitchen arrangement.

All work uses quality materials, correctly fixed for the load intended.

  • Alcove and recessed shelving
  • Utility and garage storage
  • Display and library shelving
  • Bespoke storage to brief

Doors

Door installation and adjustment

Hanging a door correctly is more involved than it looks. I fit internal and external doors to a clean, professional standard — properly hung, correctly trimmed, with hardware aligned and operating smoothly.

I also carry out door adjustments where seasonal movement, frame settlement, or poor original fitting has left a door that won't close or is catching the frame.

  • Internal and external door hanging
  • Frame repairs and replacement
  • Draught-proofing and weathersealing
  • Adjustments and re-hanging

Kitchens

Small kitchen refurbishments

A full kitchen replacement isn't always necessary. I work on smaller kitchen improvements — new units in an existing layout, replacement worktops, additional storage, or installing a new kitchen from flatpack through to completion.

I'll advise on what's realistic within a budget, without overselling the scope.

  • Unit installation and adjustment
  • Worktop fitting and replacement
  • Splashback fitting
  • Additional cabinet and drawer storage
