Fitted furniture in Rye
Most Timber Wall Panelling enquiries we take in Rye start with an opening that is not a standard size. Around here it is Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. With severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages in the mix, UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines is a question of when rather than whether. This is really a job about setting out so panel lines relate to the doors and windows.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One thing that catches people out here: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.
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.
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.
We finish off site
Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.
What clients tell us
Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.
“The alcoves were nearly 40mm out top to bottom and you genuinely cannot tell.”
Verified client, East Sussex“Finish is better than anything we have had sprayed on site, and it has stayed that way.”
Verified client, East Sussex“They redesigned the internal layout after asking how we actually store things.”

Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
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.
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.
