Carpenter & Joiner in Haywards Heath

Carpentry and joinery in Haywards Heath

Carpentry covers a wide range of jobs here, and the small ones matter as much as the large: a door that catches every time it is opened, shelving that needs to hold real weight, a gate that has stopped latching, a chair that has gone wobbly at the joints.

Richard is a fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker, so the same hands do the fitted work and the furniture repair. For a piece worth keeping, repair is almost always cheaper than replacement.

Victorian town, older villages

Haywards Heath grew up around its railway station, so much of the town is Victorian and Edwardian, while Lindfield and Cuckfield nearby are considerably older. The difference shows in the joinery. Victorian internal doors are usually four-panel and worth repairing rather than swapping for a modern blank, and in the older village properties nothing can be assumed to be square until it has been measured.
