Fitted furniture in Tunbridge Wells

If Window Seats and Shutters in Tunbridge Wells were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. Property here runs to weatherboarded Kentish cottages, oast conversions and coastal terraces, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. Set against salt-laden easterly wind along the coast, most joinery here eventually shows coating breakdown on exposed elevations and corrosion of ironmongery. Our focus on this is shutters that fold back into the reveal without fouling the frame.

We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.

Something particular to this area: coastal exposure makes finish specification more important than timber species.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells

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.

Tunbridge Wells 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.

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.

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.

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.

Can you work on a listed building?

Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
