Softwood Stairs

...made for a loft conversion. These are stylish, creative and functional.

Adhering to within the parameters set out by UK building regulations, this staircase has 2 handrails; alternating treads of 260mm deap and 600mm wide; balusters no more than 100mm apart; open risers with a gap of less than 100mm and a rise of 185mm.

This staircase cost the client £1085

Bookcase and TV stand

Made from a skeleton of 2" x 1" carefully skinned with mitred MDF to the specific plans of the client in order to incorporate a television and other stereo equipment

Mitred joins make for seamless furniture when painted and this piece of furniture fitted seamlessly into its modern surroundings - upon an oak floor and adjacent to an ultra-white, ultra-modern kitchen.

Although we would usually not work with MDF, the client expressly wanted the smoothness of the finish, which can only otherwise be achieved by using more costly birch-faced plywood.

This project cost the client £495

Sash Windows

...and not just sash windows. Whether they're new, renovated, painted or draft-proofed, we can do any project involving windows.

New windows will be made from either spruce or, much better, sapele.

A pair of single glazed sash windows, using the existing box and weights generally costs around £500.

Double glazed sash windows with a new box and balances cost around £1100 each.
