It’s finally happened…
After a few months of negotiations, Step Above Carpentry And Joinery Ltd is expanding!

After a year of hard work I would like to thank all of my past and present customers for getting us to the point of being able to make this massive leap- after such a short space of time.

Alan has been the owner of Oakwell joinery in Old Cleeve for the past 6 years and has had huge success with the business but due to unforeseen circumstance he has had to take early retirement.

After hearing about Alan and what he has achieved it was a no brainer to buying the company from him so he can enjoy his retirement. And hopefully I can now fulfill the legacy of the company with my team and hopefully we can do it justice for Alan.

So, Step Above now have a joinery shop in Bridgwater and Old Cleeve; expanding our client base to provide our skills and expertise to a wider area. We look forward to this new chapter and journey and we hope that we satisfy any present and future clients!

Very productive week this week with a shop front repair and repaint at Trevor Sorbies in Bristol, a new bay window fitted on wembdon road in Bridgwater and new handrails and newlsposts fitted to a rental property in Bridgwater ready for new tenants to move in.
Thank you to Nigel Baker for all the help and doing an amazing job painting everything

Absolutely thrilled with how this turned out after quite a bit more work than I was expecting this 1.8m round beech table has turned out just as the customer and I was hoping

Nice local job for a Friday evening
Managed to get this set of Louvre doors fitting after a morning in thornbury and not getting back till 3:30

Great to see these gates hung with the cladding on the treated timber gate frames I made
All the timber was brought in treated
Surfaced and planed to make it nice and straight and all put together with traditional mortice and tenon joints
