Respect For The Environment
We understand the value of wood and the environment, wherever possible we aim to re-use and reduce our waste. Our waste is recycled or reused as much as possible. Saw dust goes on to be used in horse stables, chicken hutches or butchers shops. Wood off-cuts are used for fire wood or donated to local schools.
We have built up long standing relationships with local businesses in and around Eastbourne since 1978, ensuring we source the best materials for your job. Close relationships with suppliers enable us to order in both small and large quantities of traditional and specialist wood, sourcing only the materials needed for the job in hand. All timber we order is approved by the FSC.
Quality Craftsmanship
We ensure our designs are sympathetic to the style of your home - a stylish kitchen for your victorian property or a bold bathroom for your modern home. Using the finest materials alongside traditional tried and tested working methods, we make fitted furniture and joinery built to last. Our dedicated team of craftsman work with an attention to detail and respect for the materials.
Our team are fully qualified and trained to the highest standards. It takes many years to learn the trade of true craftsmanship - our team pride themselves on their in depth knowlegde of traditional wood-working methods, many of which are now sadly not taught in modern apprenticeship schemes.
