First and second fix carpentry, bespoke timber work and period repairs across Lincoln and 30 miles around. Neat, square, and built to last.
Carpentry is half the renovation. Joists, partition walls, door linings, skirting, architrave, staircases. Get those right and the rooms feel finished. I cut neat, hang square, and treat reclaimed and original timber with the care it deserves.
Most of my work comes from word of mouth. Lincoln is a small enough city that bad jobs follow you around, so I treat every property as if my reputation depends on it. Because it does.
Every quote is line-by-line and fixed. You see the cost of every stage and every material before I lift a tool. No sliding scope, no surprise variations.
Every carpentry job includes a free site visit, a written quote, the work itself with all materials and labour, certification where notifiable, and aftercare for any genuine issue with the work.
The detail, the materials, the sequencing. Six things that separate work that lasts from work that does not.
Joists, noggins, stud walls, door linings, window boards. The structural carpentry that the rest of the build hangs off.
Doors hung, locks set, skirting and architrave fitted. Tight returns, mitred ends, no gaps to fill with caulk.
Replacement joists in period properties, sistered repairs, board lifting and reinstatement. Levelling for new floors.
Built-in cupboards, shelving, alcove units, shaker panelling. Made on site or in the workshop, fitted properly.
Repair and replacement. New treads, risers, balusters, handrails. Period-sympathetic where the property calls for it.
Lath-and-plaster patching, original cornicing protection, careful matching of period mouldings.
A free site visit, honest advice, and a proper written quote. No pressure, no pitch. Just a straight answer from a tradesman who actually cares.
