Repairs to a summerhouse

Setting up guttering and a water butt

Adding a bookcase top to an existing alcove cabinet

Replacement bathroom door. Before, it opened inwards, but if Mr B were to have a fall in the shower then Mrs B wouldn't be able to open the door. The replacement has been cut down, and can can also be opened outwards on two-way hinges.

Fencing off a tank with timber, and putting in a couple of gates

Reattaching a shower hose from the back. Fortunately, inside a cupboard.

New overlaid window sill to repair after water damage

New safety railing for a mezzanine storage area

New doors and shelves for a hallway cupboard

Architrave puzzle

A quick wardrobe installation: two doubles and one single. 2.5 metres. Bought in units this time. I was very impressed with the quality.

Packing-out and repairing old door frames to match up with newly plastered walls. Too late to replace the frames, and risk disturbing the plaster.

Improving a staircase with oak cladding

It's not only wood I'm working with. Today I have been replacing a greenhouse roof.

I have simplified the name of this page to make it easier to find. Please feel free to share this post and promote my work. Thank you

Fitting oak doors and frames with Suffolk latches and new architraves

'Levelling up' and raising a bathroom floor to the correct height for the existing toilet soil pipe

Adding a sliding door to a basement room. There was a low ceiling, so I've had to reduce the door height, without loosing any headroom below the lintel. The sliding track is hidden behind a timber facia.

Just finished this bespoke storage unit. Pine sheet material for shelves and cabinets. Doors made from tulip wood, which is very stable and makes a good base for painting.

This week I have finished building a utility room. Paneled walls, concealed plumbing, and floor to ceiling storage units

Fitting doors this week

Two sets of timber garage doors, and new frames installed at this property, to replace metal doors which were no longer functioning

Two vinyl floors laid this week. One with new skirting and architrave, and the darker floor finished off with silicone edges.

Rebuilding a door that was blown off its hinges in the storm

A pair of doors and framework. Custom made, to create storage area.

Fire door and plasterboard lining for an understairs cupboard. Shared access and numerous electrical supplies.

Kitchen display cabinet

Pair of oak doors made, to match a feature beam

Here's a tricky one, perparing a bay window to carry blinds and a pull-cord curtain track.
