The client was looking to update the space beneath their stairs and make the most out of the space.
We decided to use 84v Roble Denver oak internals with 2mm edgebanding from . The trimming fence from .builds definitely proved itself on this 1.
a simple white shaker front.
3x drawer 1x door fit perfectly with pullout coat hooks.
Full carcass from 18mm, FASTenon's worked great on the drawer box assembly.
Push to open/ soft close runners from .uk and hinges.
Here's the finished pics of an understairs completed In . Always great to pop back after a clients had it decorated.
Internals made from white textured MF MDF from ironmongery pre-glued edgebanding from
Beautiful media unit designed using an initial image from the client's, super happy with how this 1 looks. Threw up a couple of challenges as never used frameless glass doors before but they look great.
Finished for now, will return in the next week or so when the doors are ready for the lower cabinets.
Also adding a inset frame around the TV perimeter. (Last minute design change)
Overall, this is one of my favourite jobs recently and can't wait to see it with the finishing touches done.
Sand beige doors and backs in glass cabs and truffle brown tops/carcass. Great colour combo in my opinion.
Cutting and edging outsourced on this 1 to great service and will certainly use them again.
6mm toughened glass from go check them out 👌🏼
for the overlay glass door cabinet hinges.
Finally bronze oak acoustic panel from wouldn't use another product, undoubtedly the best on the market and my go to!
Look forward to showing a bit more of this 1.

Sometimes, things come in small packages... this job definitely fits within that bracket!
Made with removable shelves and back panel incase access is ever required for the consumer unit. The slight inconvenience was necessary to the space.
done the with decorating this little
Little more of the finished media unit. I love getting photos from the client after they've had the decorating done, get to see it in it's glory. Finished in FB Calke Green modern eggshell

Client was looking at benches and lacked storage, there was only 1 clear solution to this issue.
The covered socket was brought forward for ease of use.
Photo dump of this uniquely designed under stairs storage.
From the contrasting Roble Denver internals and white exterior, subtle detailing added by the Ovolo shaker fronts.
Push to open runners for access, I feel this adds to the simplicity to the overall aesthetics.
Even though it takes up more space, it gives the feeling of more space without the clutter.
Super happy with how this 1 turned out.
Really enjoyed this 1, worked closely with the client to ensure they got just the wardrobe they were looking for.
Old Oak carcass and shaker doors with spray finish.
Love the contrast between the two.
Another fine example of a "bread & butter" job completed on the run-up to Christmas.
Made from textured white 18mm mdf and built to customers specification.

Beautiful media unit completed in Hitchin recently.
Sometimes. A simple design, that is well executed, is all a home needs.
With these OLD OAK floating cabinets and shelving, contrasting beautifully against textured white tops/doors.
Has to be for my go to material, cuts lovely no matter the finish.
Had to balance the design with the contemporary bronzed oak acoustic panel from
warm white LED lights to drawer your sight to every inch.

Recen job completed in Bedfordshire.
The panelling with inset bead, dado rail and then skirting on the face have transformed this newbuild hall,stairs, and landing.
All joist glued with wood glue
Can't wait to tge finish after the clients decorator has gone through.
Rebated dado and beading from
Skirting was made by me to match the profile in the rest of the house.
Today I went and completed an .
Was a lovely little which hides the electric meter and maximises the space.
Small display section illuminated with , which are controlled by a dimming RF remote or
and fronts to finish it off.
This wasn't without a hiccup. Everything on IG is perfect! Occasionally, in the real world, real people make mistakes. Swipe to find out. I quickly turned around the replacement units with no additional cost. (Rightly so)
Ready for to decorate.
Watch out for the update for the final pics. ✌🏼
Stunning modern media unit recently completed.
I work closely with the client throughout the design and installation process to ensure they received exactly what they had pictured. The acoustic panel from has been dyed ebony to get the darkest finish possible while keeping the textured textured wood grain.
Made from 12 twenty range melamine mdf. Carcass - Roble denver (semi matt)
Doors- cashmere (technical matt)
Concealed hinges, push to open latches and duo stays from
All highlighted with colour change to soften night time viewing.
Taking bookings for October so drop me a message or email to book yours today.
Follow up post on the Iroko pergola, sometimes the most simple design creates a fairly technical build.
As soon as I was shown images of the design by the client I couldn't wait to tackle it, just had to figure out how to bring the image to life.
There were several technical changes along the way to ensure the best end product could be delivered.
Working closely with the clients landscaping team , we decided cantilever 1 side over the sunken firepit area to minimise the impact on garden ratios. (Came out great I think)
This showstopper ties the garden room seamlessly in with the beautiful new garden.
The room that just keeps changing. Fingers crossed there's no more now.
The grey floor looked great when skirted but when the acoustic panelling was added it just didn't quite work, this was exaggerated when furniture moved it.
The decision to sand back the floor and clear varnish it was definitely the right 1.
Have a great Bank Holiday weekend people ✌🏼
Design to finish on the bar I've been working on. I think this has been 1 of my favorite jobs I've taken on. Has changed along the way but I'm chuffed with how it's came out. (Still have two additional doors to make for it) that's it until after Easter though.
Bar carcass made from Roble Sinatra
Reclaimed panels for front cladding and scaffold board tops.
concealed hinges
Finished with clear satin poly-x oil
All ties in perfectly with the smoked oak acoustic panels from
Happy Easter guys and gals. ✌🏼
collage to show the to this dressing area. Love working with products they cut so clean and the on the tweed sets it off.
Have a good everyone 👊🏼
Finished pics of the home office now the rads on and bifolds are in. Looks a different room entirely from how it started.
*I can't take the credit on the bifolds or plumbing*
Beautiful kitchen i fitted on a stunning self build a friend was doing.
Sometimes the easiest builds hold the most value, this 1 in particular as the client can be a real headache!

Media wall has now been painted and had acoustic panels added. Just need to mount TV when it comes to site next week.
Thanks to for the materials on this 1 👌🏼
Little update on the hallway section of this job now the herringbone and oak handrail are done. Love seeing a job come together.
Little reel of the glass finished, this entrance hall will be stunning when complete

This has to be my favourite staircase I've ever fitted, great start over the last couple days.
2nd trimmer plate and glass Monday hopefully.
After the floorings done I'll do the oak capping rail to glass.
Can't wait to see this come together

P.S excuse the mess, Sometimes you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. House is vacant too 🪚🔨😉
Feels good to get back on this dressing area again after it taking a back seat to get other bits done in the house.
