Carpenter & Joiner in Reigate

Carpentry and joinery in Reigate

Reigate has a good deal of period property, and period property asks for carpentry that is sympathetic rather than simply new. Shelving in an alcove should look as though the house came with it; a repaired door should not announce which part is the repair.

That is cabinet-maker work rather than fitting work, and it is what Richard trained in.

Conservation-area character

Much of central Reigate sits in a conservation area, and while internal joinery is generally not controlled, external timber on an older or listed property can be. Before anything visible from the street is replaced it is worth a call to the council, and we would always rather repair existing external joinery than replace it — which usually sidesteps the question altogether.
