What exactly does custom joinery mean?
Custom joinery means crafting unique, bespoke furniture and fittings like made-to-measure alcove units, wardrobes, window seats, and floating shelves, all designed to maximise both the functionality and aesthetics of every corner in your home.
Why should I opt for custom joinery instead of buying off-the-shelf units?
Opting for custom joinery means getting a perfect fit for any unique space in your home, matching your specific style and material preferences to enhance your existing décor. It’s a true investment in your home’s quality and aesthetics.
How much time does it take to design and install custom joinery?
Custom joinery projects typically span a few weeks from the initial design to the final installation. We ensure each phase aligns with your timetable to minimise any disruption at your home.
What are the costs involved with custom joinery?
The costs for custom joinery vary depending on the materials chosen, the complexity of the design, and the project’s scale. We primarily use cost-effective, high-quality MDF and provide transparent pricing and detailed quotes upfront.

Will installing custom joinery disrupt my daily routine?
We strive to minimise disruption. Most joinery work is completed off-site, and installations are scheduled at your convenience. Our team ensures a clean, efficient process from beginning to end.
How should I maintain my MDF fitted units?
We recommend painting the MDF units with a high-quality acrylic or solvent-based paint to provide a durable and smooth finish. Apply a primer specifically designed for MDF, as it will reduce the absorption of paint and help achieve a more uniform finish. Sanding between coats will also help achieve a smoother finish. Once painted, maintaining MDF units is straightforward—regular dusting and a damp cloth wipe should keep them looking new.
Does investing in custom joinery add value to my home?
Indeed, custom joinery not only boosts your home’s functionality and visual appeal but also enhances its market value. It’s considered a premium upgrade that can make your property more attractive to potential buyers in the competitive UK housing market.
