Bespoke Joinery
We design and build bespoke joinery to suit your room — alcove shelving, full-height panelling, window seats, boot rooms, under-stair storage and architectural detail. Every piece is built specifically for the space it lives in and hand-finished to the same standard as our decorating.

Frequently asked
Questions about bespoke joinery
Do you design as well as build?+
Yes. We sketch up options based on the room, agree the design with you, then build and finish on site.
What materials do you build from?+
Mostly tulipwood, MDF or birch ply depending on whether the piece will be painted or stained. We'll recommend the right material for the job.

Other things we do
Service
Interior Painting
We are interior painters and decorators serving Cumbria, the Lake District and Lancashire. Every project we take on — from a single feature wall to a complete whole-house refurbishment — is built on the same foundation: meticulous preparation, premium materials and a hand-applied finish that lasts.
Service
Exterior Painting
The North-West weather is unforgiving — driven rain, salt air on the coast, sharp frosts inland. Our exterior painting service is built to withstand it. We specialise in render coatings, masonry paint, soffits and fascias, timber windows, doors and gates throughout Cumbria and Lancashire.
Service
Wallpaper Hanging
Premium wallpaper deserves a hanger who treats it with care. We install everything from grasscloth and silks to hand-blocked Cole & Son, Farrow & Ball, de Gournay and Sanderson papers throughout Cumbria and Lancashire — including the demanding stairwells and feature walls where most decorators struggle.
Service
Surface Preparation
Decorating is only ever as good as the surface underneath. Our surface preparation service exists for one reason — every other decorator we've ever followed cut corners here, and we don't. Cracks raked out, fillers chosen for the job, sanded flat, primed and sealed.
A Final Thought
We aren't the cheapest decorators.
We're the ones you call for a flawless finish.
Honest advice, careful preparation and beautiful results across Cumbria and Lancashire.
