Fitted furniture in Bishop's Castle

Half the Kitchen Joinery problems we fix in Bishop's Castle started as a sizing assumption. Because the area is mainly medieval timber framing, Ironbridge industrial housing and border farmsteads, no two openings measure quite the same. The weather does the rest: Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity here, and fungal decay in poorly ventilated frame cavities as the predictable result. The detail we will not compromise on is in-frame doors where the shadow gap has to stay even everywhere.

Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.

One local point to factor in: one of the densest concentrations of listed timber-framed buildings in England.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Bishop's Castle 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 Bishop's Castle

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.

“The alcoves were nearly 40mm out top to bottom and you genuinely cannot tell.”

“Finish is better than anything we have had sprayed on site, and it has stayed that way.”

Bishop's Castle questions

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.

Can you match an existing profile?

Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
