Carpenter & Joiner in Epsom

Carpentry and joinery in Epsom

A lot of carpentry in Epsom is putting right work that was done to a price by somebody else: a door hung without being eased so it binds in damp weather, shelving fixed into plaster instead of into something solid, a gate hung on hinges too light for its weight.

None of those are big jobs. They are the sort of thing that gets lived with for years and then takes an afternoon to fix properly.

Interwar housing and original joinery

Much of Epsom and Ewell went up between the wars, and a good deal of the original internal joinery is still in place — panel doors, picture rails, built-in cupboards beside the chimney breasts. It was well made, and it is generally worth repairing rather than stripping out, but it was made before central heating, so doors that fitted perfectly in an unheated hallway now move with the seasons and need easing.

What we take on

• Internal doors hung, eased and adjusted
• Original joinery repaired rather than replaced
• Alcove shelving and fitted cupboards
• Wooden gates made, hung and repaired
• Garden carpentry — pergolas, log stores, patio covers
• Furniture repaired and restored
