Carpenters and joiners working in Saffron Walden

All eight of our services: kitchen fitting, fitted wardrobes, media walls, first and second fix carpentry, extensions, cart lodges and renovations. Carpentry runs through all of it, which is why one team can take a job from the structural work through to the last door handle.

Saffron Walden has a notable medieval and timber framed centre with Georgian property beyond it. So the work is rarely a case of dropping in standard sizes. We measure what is actually there and price that, not a typical room.

The medieval plots in Saffron Walden are narrow and irregular. That is the first thing we look at for an extension or a cart lodge, because the plot decides what the site will take long before anything is drawn.

Saffron Walden carries extensive conservation coverage and a large number of listed buildings. It is entirely workable. It is just the sort of thing that is cheap to allow for at the start and expensive to discover halfway through.

Saffron Walden is roughly 38 miles south west of Brandon, right at the limit of our range. Haverhill, Royston and Newmarket are all closer to us, so whether a job here works comes down to its size rather than its postcode.

Uttlesford District Council. Anything structural, or anything that changes the footprint, is decided and signed off by them rather than by us. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

Matt or Victor. The person who looks at the job and prices it is one of the people who will be doing it. Nothing is passed to a salesman and nothing is handed to a stranger.

We will not try. A timescale given down the phone is a guess dressed up as a commitment. Once we have seen the property we will tell you what the job involves and what shape it takes.

Either call 07539 278705 or use the enquiry form and tell us roughly what you have in mind. We come out and look at the property, because almost nothing in this trade can be priced properly from a photograph. The quote is free and there is no obligation.

At roughly 38 miles it sits outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full project the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather say so than quote a price that is mostly driving.
