Joinery, made to fit
Media walls, alcove units and storage, made for the room they’re going in.
Shop-bought furniture never quite fits an alcove. There’s a gap down one side, a skirting board in the way, or a wall that leans. What I build is made for the actual space, so it runs right up to the walls and ceiling and looks like it’s always been there.
Most people start with a picture they’ve saved and a rough idea of what they need to store. That’s plenty. I’ll measure up, suggest what will work in your room, and spell out exactly what I’ll build in the quote.

How a joinery job works
You get a written quote before any work starts.
Step 1
Show me the space
Photos of the room and any pictures you’ve saved that you like.
Step 2
Agree the design and price
I measure up and set out exactly what I’ll build.
Step 3
Built in, made to fit
Fitted on the day we agree and finished so it’s ready to fill.
How long, and how much disruption
Joinery is measured and planned first, so you know exactly what’s happening and when.
- How longIt depends on the size and the finish. A media wall or a pair of alcove units takes longer than a few shelves. You’ll know how long before I start.
- Living thereYes. Only the room I’m working in is affected.
- MessDust sheets down and the room left tidy.
What affects the price
Every job is different. What moves the price most:
- Overall size, and how many doors, drawers and shelves
- The material, from MDF to solid timber
- Painted on site, or left ready for your decorator
- Space for lighting, sockets and cable routes
- Any skirting, coving or alterations needed to fit it in
Part of a bigger project?
Joinery work is often one piece of a wider renovation. I can manage the whole job with one team, so everything is planned together and you’ve only got one person to deal with.
Questions about joinery
Can you build something I’ve seen on Instagram or Pinterest?
Send it over with photos of your room. I’ll tell you what will work in your space and what I’d change.
Do you paint it as well?
Yes. I can fill, sand and paint it on site in your colour.
Can you hide the TV wires?
Yes. I plan the cable routes in from the start, so nothing’s left hanging.
What’s it made from?
Usually MDF for painted pieces, because it stays flat and takes paint well. Solid timber where that makes more sense. The quote says which.
