What we do
What we make
Everything is built to the space, so it can run to the ceiling, follow a sloping floor and sit tight to the wall without filler gaps.
- Alcove cupboards and shelves either side of a chimney breast
- Hallway benches with shoe storage and coat hooks
- Under-stair cupboards and pull-out storage
- Fitted wardrobes for loft rooms and awkward bedrooms
- Window seats with lift-up lids or drawers
- Solid timber shelves that carry real weight
Is it time?
When fitted storage beats furniture.
- Alcoves or eaves are too shallow or too odd a shape for anything off the shelf.
- The hallway is where coats, bags and shoes pile up every day.
- You want shelves for books or records that will not sag.
- Storage needs to fit the room so well it looks as if it was always there.
How it works
From photos to a proper fit.
Measure and sketch
We measure the space and send a simple drawing with sizes, doors and shelf positions.
Agree materials
Timber, painted board or a mix, plus handles, hinges and how it opens.
Build and fit
Carcasses made up, scribed to the walls and fitted with doors adjusted to even gaps.
Questions
Worth knowing before you start.
Something else to ask?
Send a photo and a line about the job. Close-ups of any detail you want matched help most.
Ask a questionWill the shelves hold books?
Yes, if they are designed for it. Shelf thickness, span and fixings are chosen for the load, so a full run of books does not bow over time.
My alcoves are not square. Can you still fit cupboards?
That is the point of fitted work. We scribe the sides and top to the walls and ceiling so there are no tapering gaps.
Can you build storage under the stairs?
Yes: cupboards, drawers or open shelves, depending on what you keep there and whether the space has services running through it.
Do you supply handles and hinges?
We can, or fit hardware you have chosen. Soft-close hinges and push-to-open catches are both options.
