Fitted furniture in Shepton Mallet
Most Alcove Cabinetry enquiries we take in Shepton Mallet start with an opening that is not a standard size. Given the Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. Set against very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, most joinery here eventually shows prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding. What you are paying for is scribing to alcoves that are never the same width top and bottom.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A detail specific to this area: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

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, Somerset“Finish is better than anything we have had sprayed on site, and it has stayed that way.”
Verified client, Somerset“They redesigned the internal layout after asking how we actually store things.”

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.
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.
