Carpentry & Joinery Services in Horsham
Built-in furniture, kitchen and bathroom fitting, made-to-measure joinery, studwork, doors, gates and pergolas across Horsham and Southwater, measured properly and finished to match your home.
Bespoke Built-In Furniture in Horsham
Wardrobes, shelving and cabinetry built into the room, fitted flush to the walls and finished to match.
What's included- Fitted wardrobes with hanging and shelving
- Alcove and stud wall shelving units
- Cabinetry built around chimney breasts and eaves
- Sliding or hinged doors made to fit
- Internal fittings sized to what you're storing
I measure the space properly first, working around sloped ceilings, alcoves and awkward corners rather than fitting a standard unit and leaving gaps. Everything is built to the actual dimensions of the room, so it sits flush against the walls and floor.
We talk through what you need to store and how you want it laid out before I start cutting anything, then I build and fit it on site, finishing it to match the rest of the room.

Kitchen & Bathroom Fitting in Horsham
Kitchens and bathroom furniture fitted by a carpenter, so the units sit level, the doors line up and the finish is done properly.
What's included- Kitchen units, worktops and end panels fitted
- Doors and drawers aligned and adjusted
- Bathroom vanity units and cabinets fitted
- Boxing-in, plinths and trims finished
- Old units stripped out first where needed
A kitchen is only as good as the fitting. Flat-pack or ready-built, I set the base units level, scribe the end panels and plinths to the floor and walls, and hang the doors so the gaps are even all the way along. It's the difference between a kitchen that looks fitted and one that looks put together.
Bathroom vanity units, cabinets and boxing-in get the same care, cut to fit the space and sealed off neatly so they stand up to a wet room.

Made-to-Measure Joinery in Horsham
Joinery built to the exact measurements of your home, not adapted from a standard size.
What's included- Drawer boxes, doors and panels made to size
- Skirting and architrave matched to existing profiles
- Fitted units built around fireplaces and bay windows
- Timber sourced and prepared for the job
- Fitted and finished in place
Standard sizes rarely fit older or characterful houses well, bay windows, uneven walls and non-standard door widths all need joinery made to measure rather than adapted afterwards. I take the actual measurements from your home before building anything.
The finish is done to match what's already there wherever possible, whether that's matching an existing skirting profile or getting a fitted piece to sit level in a floor that isn't quite flat.
Read moreStud Walls & First Fix Carpentry in Horsham
Partition walls, door openings and first-fix carpentry set out square, plumb and ready for the plasterer.
What's included- Timber stud partition walls
- New door openings and linings
- Floor joists and boarding
- Noggins, boxing and pipe casings
- Set out square and plumb for plastering
Splitting a room, closing off a space or making a new doorway starts with the studwork, and if that isn't square and plumb everything that follows fights it. I set out from the existing walls and floor, frame the wall with proper noggins and fixings, and line the door opening so the door hangs true afterwards.
First fix runs alongside the other trades, so I work to the electrician's and plasterer's timings and leave everything ready for them.

Doors, Gates & Pergolas in Horsham
Doors hung and repaired, garden gates and surrounds built to your opening, and pergolas made by hand to your own design.
What's included- Internal and external doors hung and fitted
- Garden gates and surrounds built to the opening
- Rotten door frames, jambs and shed doors replaced
- Pergolas built to your dimensions, posts set solid
- Timber chosen to suit being outdoors
Doors take a lot of movement and weather over time, and it usually shows in the same places, rotting timber, dropped hinges or a frame that's swollen and sticking. I replace what's actually gone rather than the whole door where it isn't needed, and fit new doors and gates so they hang square and close properly.
For garden gates I build to the size of the opening you've got and match the style of an existing gate or surround where there is one. Pergolas are built by hand on site to your own design, working around planting, paving and fences, with posts set properly so the structure stays solid rather than working loose.
Read moreGeneral Carpentry Repairs in Horsham
Sticking doors, rotten timber and general carpentry faults fixed properly rather than papered over.
What's included- Sticking or dropped doors eased and rehung
- Rotten skirting, architrave and timber replaced
- Loose staircases and handrails tightened
- Timber floor repairs and boarding
- Small joinery repairs around the home
Most call-outs are small jobs that have been left, a door that's stuck for months, a bit of skirting that's gone soft, a handrail that's worked loose. I have a look, work out what's actually wrong, and fix that rather than suggesting something bigger isn't needed.
Where timber has rotted I replace it with matching material rather than boxing over it, so the repair holds and doesn't need doing again in a year.
