Common questions
Things people ask before they call
Can you build wardrobes into an awkward space, like under stairs or a sloping ceiling?
Yes, that is exactly the point of made-to-measure. Everything is built to the shape of your room, so sloping ceilings, alcoves and odd corners are normal work for us, not a problem.
Do you cover my village, or just Reading itself?
We work across Reading and the surrounding Berkshire villages. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask. It takes a minute to find out.
Do you take on small jobs, or only big projects?
Both. Some customers have us back for numerous smaller pieces of work, others want a full kitchen or a staircase. Tell us what you need and we will tell you honestly whether it is a job for us.
Can you build a staircase in oak?
Yes. Oak craftsmanship is a specialism of ours. We have designed and built oak staircases, and we fit oak flooring too.
How do I get a price?
Call us and describe the job. A photo of the space helps a great deal. Once we understand what you want and have seen the room, we can put a proper figure on it rather than a guess.
Do you make the piece and fit it, or just one or the other?
Both. The same firm that measures and makes your joinery is the one that fits it, so nothing gets lost between the workshop and your home.
Will you tidy up afterwards?
Yes. Our customers mention it in their reviews, and we are quite proud of that. We leave the room ready to use, not covered in sawdust.
