Gardens & Outdoor Living

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.

What the job involved

  • Full timber subframe laid and levelled
  • Stud framing built to screen the oil tank
  • Composite decking throughout
  • Timber pergola
  • Close-board screen fencing
  • Wall-mounted outdoor lighting
  • Hot tub base and surround

the panelled bedroom — carpentry showcase

Carpentry

Panelled Bedroom


Wall panelling taken from floor to cornice, with a deep coved ceiling and concealed lighting above it. The kind of carpentry that makes a room look designed rather than decorated — and it's all made and fitted on site, to the room.

  • Full-height wall panelling
  • Deep coving with concealed cove lighting
  • Ceiling rose and pendant
  • Panelled internal doors
  • Recessed downlights
