Fitted furniture in Chatteris

People come to us about Home Libraries in Chatteris once the cheap option has already failed. The building stock is college-town Georgian stock, fenland brick farmhouses and rapid new-build growth, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. The other factor is the driest region in the UK with exposed fen wind, which is why shrinkage and joint opening rather than rot in most inland stock is the most common reason people call us. In practice that means shelf spans calculated so loaded shelves do not sag over time.

Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.

One thing that catches people out here: college and listed stock in Cambridge demands exact historic replication.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Chatteris are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Nothing in your house is square in Chatteris

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.

01

We scribe to the wall

Every panel is cut to the actual line of the plaster, so there is no tapering gap running down the side of the unit.

02

We measure at three heights

Alcoves are routinely 20 to 40mm wider at the bottom than the top. One measurement is how you end up packing the gap out.

03

We finish off site

Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.

Chatteris questions

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?

Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.

What guarantee do you provide?

Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.

Will the finish need maintaining?

A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.

How long does a typical order take?

Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.

Do you fit, or supply only?

Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
