Fitted furniture in Ellesmere

Alcove Cabinetry is one of those jobs in Ellesmere where the survey decides everything. Local property is overwhelmingly medieval timber framing, Ironbridge industrial housing and border farmsteads, which is why we never quote from a catalogue. With Welsh border rainfall with high sustained humidity in the mix, fungal decay in poorly ventilated frame cavities is a question of when rather than whether. Everything we do here comes back to scribing to alcoves that are never the same width top and bottom.

The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. Give us the basics and you will have a written figure, not a range that moves later.

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 Ellesmere 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 Ellesmere

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.

Ellesmere questions

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 price from drawings?

Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.

Do you deliver nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.

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 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.
