Wootton is commuter housing that has grown a lot, and the jobs there are mostly storage and home offices in houses that were built without either. Fitted wardrobes, handmade kitchens, staircases, under-stairs storage and one-off bespoke pieces across Wootton and the MK43 postcodes around it.
Wootton is a village that has grown into commuter housing, mostly built in the last few decades, where the plots are generous and the storage is not, so wardrobes, under-stairs work and home offices make up most of what we are asked for. In practice most of what we are asked for around Wootton is fitted wardrobes, with everything else on the list available alongside it.
Hinged, sliding and recessed wardrobes made to the exact run of your room, scribed into sloping ceilings, chimney breasts and out-of-square walls so there is no gap at the top and no filler down the side.
02Handmade and made to measure kitchens, from the first sketch through to the last bit of scribe.
03The jobs that do not come in a box.
04New staircases fitted and old ones brought back to life.
05The space under the stairs is usually a cupboard with a hoover in it and a metre of dead air above.
06Alcove shelving, bookcases, cupboard and shelf combinations and fitted home offices.
07Doors hung and ironmongery fitted, internal glazed and crittall style screens, wood and parquet floors laid, skirting, architrave, coving, window boards and boxing in.
08Composite and timber decking, raised decks and steps, garden structures and the small roofs and external carpentry that go with them.
Across Wootton (MK43) it is mostly fitted wardrobes, under-stairs storage and home office joinery in family housing. Wootton is a village that has grown into commuter housing, mostly built in the last few decades, where the plots are generous and the storage is not, so wardrobes, under-stairs work and home offices make up most of what we are asked for. Every job is priced after a proper measure up rather than over the phone, because the size of the room and the state of the walls decide most of the cost.
No, travel is in the price. Wootton is roughly 6 km from the workshop in Bedford, well inside the patch we cover as a matter of course, so you are paying for the joinery rather than for the van. The only thing that changes the price is the job itself: the size of the run, the materials and how much has to come out before anything new goes in.
Yes. Wootton is commuter housing that has grown a lot, and the jobs there are mostly storage and home offices in houses that were built without either. The workshop is in Bedford and we cover the surrounding Bedfordshire towns and villages as standard, out to Milton Keynes and Northampton, so Wootton is well inside our normal patch. Call and tell us what the room is and what you want out of it and you will get a straight answer on timing.
Yes, mostly in what people ask for. Housing in Wootton is generally a decent size with thin built-in storage, so the jobs there are wardrobes, under-stairs work, alcove shelving and home offices rather than whole room rebuilds. The walls are usually straightforward, which keeps the cost sensible, and the money goes into the design and the fit-out rather than into fighting the building.
Fitting is usually the short part. A run of fitted wardrobes is generally one to three days on site, under-stairs storage is two to four, a staircase refurbishment is a day or two and a kitchen runs to one or two weeks. What sets the overall timescale is the making, which happens in the workshop beforehand, and the lead time on any doors or worktops being ordered in. You get the full sequence in writing at the quote.
Yes, and that is how every job should start. The design consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it. We come out to Wootton, look at the room, take the measurements, talk through what you want it to do and follow up with a written price. Nothing gets ordered or made until you have seen that price and agreed the design.
Yes. Plenty of what we do is a single alcove, one set of shelves, a boiler cover, a bank of drawers or replacing the spindles on a staircase. Small jobs get the same measure up and the same written price as a full kitchen, and we would rather do a small piece properly than turn it away. If it is genuinely a half-hour job, we will say so and point you in the right direction.
