Carpentry Services in South West London
Carpentry should make a home easier to use as well as improving the way it looks. Building & Handyman provides carpentry services across South West London for doors, shelving, storage, timber repairs and carpentry that forms part of a wider refurbishment.
Some jobs are fairly small. Others need to be planned around flooring, decorating or the existing shape of a room. In both cases, it helps to start with what you want the finished space to do.
Doors and Frames
A door that catches, does not close properly or no longer fits as it should can quickly become irritating. Doors and frames may need adjustment, repair or replacement depending on their condition and the surrounding property. They can also be affected by other work.
For example, changing the flooring may alter the clearance underneath a door, so it is worth mentioning any planned flooring work when you contact us.
Shelving and Storage
Good storage is usually designed around what needs to go in it. There is little point in adding shelving that looks right but is too shallow, too low or badly positioned for the items you actually want to store.
If you are thinking about shelving or fitted storage, tell us what you want to use it for. Books, clothing, household equipment and larger items all create different requirements. We can then discuss the available space and what may work practically.
Skirting, Architraves and Finishing Carpentry
Carpentry often provides the detail that finishes a room. Skirting, architraves and other timber elements can make a noticeable difference once decorating and flooring are complete.
The order of the work matters. Where carpentry and decorating are both planned, completing the timber work first can avoid having to disturb newly decorated surfaces later.
Timber Repairs
Not every piece of damaged timber automatically needs replacing. Sometimes repair may be suitable. In other situations, replacement makes more sense.
The condition, position and purpose of the timber all need to be considered before deciding what to do.
