What we do

Carpentry first — and everything that surrounds it.


We're carpenters by trade, which shows up in the details other builders skip. But we take on whole projects, coordinating every trade so you're only ever dealing with us.

Recent work

Garden Transformation


A bare, sloping garden taken back to soil and rebuilt as an outdoor room. The oil tank that dominated the plot was framed out and screened, the whole level was decked, and a pergola and lighting turned it into somewhere you'd actually sit in the evening.

How it works

No surprises, start to finish.


Three questions come up every time: will they turn up, will they make a mess of my house, and what is this actually going to cost. Here's how we answer them.

01

We come and look

A visit to see the space, understand what you're after, and tell you honestly whether it's the job you think it is.

02

You get a written quote

Itemised, so you can see what you're paying for. No surprises halfway through, and no vague single figure on the back of an envelope.

03

We do the work

Agreed dates, one point of contact, and the site left clean at the end of every day. You'll know who's turning up and when.
