Carpenter & Joiner in Horsham

A fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker working in Horsham and the villages around it — doors, shelving, gates, garden timber and furniture, made and fitted properly.

Carpentry and joinery in Horsham

In September 2026 we renewed the broken side panels on a bath at a Horsham home and built boxing around the exposed pipework under the basin, which is carpentry of the quiet sort — nobody notices it, they just stop noticing the pipes.

Most carpentry here is the same shape: something that was built once, badly or long ago, and now needs making right. Doors that bind on the frame, shelving that was never deep enough, a gate that has dropped on its hinges.

Older timber, newer estates

Horsham holds two quite different sorts of house. In the older streets near the Carfax, door frames and floors have moved over a century or more, so almost nothing is square and a door bought to a standard size rarely fits without being worked to the opening. On the newer estates at Southwater and Broadbridge Heath the openings are square but the original joinery is thin, and replacing it with something solid is usually the better spend.

What we take on

  • Internal doors hung, eased and adjusted
  • Shelving, racks and fitted storage
  • Boxing in pipework and bath panels
  • Wooden gates made, hung and repaired
  • Garden carpentry — pergolas, log stores, patio covers
  • Furniture repaired and restored

Carpentry in Horsham — FAQs

Are you a qualified carpenter in Horsham?

Yes — Richard Cordrey is a fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker with 51 years in business, and Horsham is one of the towns he works in regularly.

Can you fit a door in an older Horsham house?

Yes. Older openings have usually moved out of square, so the door is worked to the opening rather than the other way round — hinge and latch recesses cut on site and the door eased until it closes cleanly.
