Just added the finishing touches to this beautiful kitchen I fitted in Corbridge. My customer chose a Magnet kitchen and their design and input were fantastic.      Granite worktops and an Amtico floor finish off the look. The kitchen and utility were stripped out and the ceilings taken down due to new lighting and […]

One of the last jobs of the year was to fit this amazing staircase in Kirkley, Northumberland. The newel posts are 138mm square with oak handrails, caps and bullnose step. Next job is to finish off the flooring to the landing then fit the square spindles. The two doors at the top are being moved […]

Well it’s been a very busy year with lots of interesting jobs from doors to porches to staircases and kitchens. I enjoy the variety of work I do some of it very challenging but all rewarding, lots of work booked in for the new year as well. Some interesting times ahead getting involved with mentoring […]

    A lovely set of oak folding doors fitted recently with matching pattern 10 doors downstairs and oak 30’s style doors upstairs.        

    An unusual job in Jesmond this week. An Iroko pergola and handrails for the back garden in a Tyneside flat. Looks lush I think.          I also fitted a cover to an old church font and the top of the octagonal stone base to make a stool.   

Fitted a beautiful new porch in Gosforth, made to match the original details of the existing porches in the street.      Made from Accoya and primed ready for decoration. The slate roof is next complete with stepped lead flashings and ridge tiles then touchened glass side panels.  

              I’ve been busy fitting this beautiful cut string staircase to a loft conversion in Gosforth. Spindles to the landing next then fitting the newel caps.

I took out an old, tired, yellowing uPVC door and frame and fitted this beautiful Accoya door and frame.       Much better than horrible plastic. The door is 55mm thick to take 24mm frosted double glazed units.
