Carpentry across Crawley and its neighbourhoods by a fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker — from hanging a door to repairing the timber at the back of the garden.
In May 2026 we repaired a shed at a Crawley property rather than replacing it — the frame was sound, so the money went on putting right what had failed instead of buying a new building.
That judgement is most of the job. A good deal of timber brought to us as beyond saving is not, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a replacement.
Crawley went up fast as a new town, with whole neighbourhoods built to the same pattern in the same few years. That has a practical upshot for carpentry: the doors, frames, built-in cupboards and sheds in a street tend to be the same age and the same specification, so they reach the end of their lives at roughly the same time. If a neighbour has just replaced something, yours is probably next.

Repair first where the frame is sound — we repaired a Crawley shed in May 2026 rather than replacing it. If a building genuinely is past saving we will say so plainly.
Usually, yes. Where a run of built-in cupboards or shelving is being extended or repaired, new timber is worked to match what is already there as closely as the original allows.
