Lead times are estimates for the coming weeks. We confirm the start date with every written quote.

A roof should last longer than the people who laid it.

We use materials we would put on our own houses and take the time to fix each tile properly.

Our workshop

Timber we chose ourselves, cut to fit your home.

We buy oak, ash and larch from sawmills we know and let it settle in our workshop before we work it. That is why our doors and stairs stay straight.

Every piece is measured on site and dry fitted in the workshop first.

Offcuts go to a local school for their woodwork classes.

The new staircase arrived in pieces in the morning and we walked up it the same evening. Nothing creaks, and the joiner left the hall cleaner than he found it.
