A little about me and the process :

I am not a time served carpenter.  I am not a cabinet maker and I have no formal qualifications in the field.  What I bring is simply a broad range of practical woodworking experience coupled to an empathy and a desire to create and possibly improve upon solutions in timber.  The process begins by discussing your needs and how you would like to address them.  I then develop a project plan usually with options that we can then discuss and refine to improve my understanding and tailor this to meet your needs and your budget.  From there, I move into preparing a formal quotation using quality materials which will provide a practical, durable aesthetically pleasing solution.  Once we have agreed this, I will order the materials and prepare them before final assembly and finishing.  After the item is finished, it usually requires installation.   This might involve removing and replacing something which has reached the end of its working life.  The whole process can take anything from a few hours to a few days, depending upon the scale of the task.  The  process comes to a conclusion with real attention to detail to ensure an excellent finish.  This is not a 5 minute "off the shelf" solution.  Care and attention to detail are critical at each stage and this attention is what helps the finished product stand out and (subject to the usual routine maintenance and TLC) last a lifetime.
