What we fit

Interior joinery that finishes a room properly: panelling, skirting, architrave and doors, scribed in so everything sits tight.

  • Wall panelling

    Panelling that gives a plain hallway or room some character. You do the painting afterwards, and we'll guide you through it.

  • Skirting boards

    New skirting fitted securely and carefully scribed, so it sits tight to the wall with only a thin line of caulk.

  • Architrave

    Fresh architrave around a door to finish the space off properly, with a clean, professional finish throughout.

  • Doors

    Doors fitted, including reusing a customer's existing doors to close off a brand new ensuite, with the skirting scribed so the door closes smoothly.

  • Stair boxes

    Stair box removal in a box bedroom, with new skirting boards fitted at the same time.

  • Carpentry

Finishing touches that make a difference

We recently completed a neat little job using the customer's existing doors to close off their brand new ensuite.

To finish the space off properly, we installed fresh skirting and architrave, carefully scribed the skirting to allow the door to close smoothly, and ensured a clean, professional finish throughout.

We recently used Alan to do some panelling in our new home. Alan did an excellent job, he was very professional, reliable and friendly throughout. He completed the work to an excellent standard & for an extremely fair price.

I would highly recommend Alan for any future work.

Thank you again ☺️

Sophie NeedhamGoogle review, August 2026

Alan is a skilled and creative architectural carpenter. His attention to detail speaks for itself. My hall was soulless with empty walls and 1980s magnolia before Alan worked his magic.

I am beyond delighted.

Alan has given my hall purpose and personality. He is kind and thoughtful and a pleasure to work with.

I will most definitely have him back to do work in the future.

We recently used Alan's service for my wallpanelling project. I am so happy with how it turns out. The items are of good quality and his quote is very competitive. I would use Alan's service again in the future. Thinking of doing my living room next!!

You still need to do the painting afterwards but Alan will guide you through as he did with me.

We recently had Alan install some skirting boards and remove a stair box in our box bedroom. His quote was very fair and he was very reliable throughout the whole process and completed the work to a very high standard. Alan is very professional and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy taking me through every step. I highly recommend Alan and will be using Alan again for future work. Over the moon thank you again! ☺️

Highly Recommend.

Alan did a very neat job of adapting our skirting and attaching it securely to the wall.

We'd had it put on by someone different 18 months ago. It didn't fit as well and had large gaps between the skirting and the wall, which had been filled with lots of caulk, previously.

Alan did a great job. There was only a thin line of caulk, and it was cut tightly to the wall. The scribing was much better.

He even cleaned up after himself!
