What we do
One carpentry contractor for the whole house, stage by stage.
Take one stage or all four. Each crew works to your drawings and programme and hands each plot over clean, checked and ready for the next trade, so you deal with one team and one point of contact on site.

House Erecting · Timber Frame
From the sole plate to a weathertight shell.
Our crews work storey by storey, from the first panel on the sole plate to roof trusses, membrane, battens and roof tiles, and hand the house over weathertight and ready for first fix. One team, one programme: so the frame goes up square, on time and the way it was designed.

Second Fix Carpentry
From plaster to handover.
Once the plaster is dry, our second fix crews finish the joinery: internal and fire doors, ironmongery, skirting and architrave, window boards, handrails and attic hatches. Every door hung to an even gap, every mitre closed, every handrail solid under the hand.
