Kitchen with island and bespoke wooden cabinetry

Bespoke joinery and furniture

The piece that fits is the piece that was drawn for that spot.

The right height, the right depth, drawers where they are needed, lighting already designed into it.

Why bespoke

Houses have walls that are not straight and ceilings at awkward heights.

An eleven centimetre gap beside the wardrobe, a worktop that runs into a window, a television unit that does not sit flush. Those small gaps are what make an interior look assembled in a hurry.

Bespoke joinery settles that once. Instead of the nearest piece, the exact piece is drawn.

Before anything is produced, everything is drawn

Dimensions, materials, ironmongery, lighting points and opening directions.

It is the document the joiner works from, and what allows the real price to be known before anything is ordered.

Four steps, in this order

Drawing, costing, site measurement, production.

1

Drawing

The piece is drawn inside the project, with the rest of the house around it. You see it in 3D before it exists.

2

Costed from the drawing

With the technical drawing closed, production is quoted and the real price is presented. Not an estimate.

3

Measured on site

Dimensions are checked on site once the flooring is laid and the ceilings are closed. That is why these pieces fit at the end.

4

Production and installation

Produced and installed by our team, with the finishing done inside the house.

Drawn and produced by the same team

If a dimension is wrong, it is our responsibility from beginning to end.

You do not have to coordinate a joiner, a metalworker and an installer, or explain the project to each of them.

Is there a wall you have never known what to do with?

That is almost always where a bespoke piece begins.

An awkward recess, a ceiling that does not line up, a kitchen that wastes half the room. We will be in touch within two working days, with no commitment on your part.
