One team for carpentry and building work in Royston

All eight of our services: kitchen fitting, fitted wardrobes, media walls, first and second fix carpentry, extensions, cart lodges and renovations. Carpentry runs through all of it, which is why one team can take a job from the structural work through to the last door handle.

Royston has a Victorian and period centre with a great deal of modern commuter development around it. So the work is rarely a case of dropping in standard sizes. We measure what is actually there and price that, not a typical room.

The commuter development plots in Royston are compact and modern. It matters most for extensions and cart lodges: what the plot allows sets the shape of the project before a designer is involved.

At forty miles Royston is the furthest town we list, so the scale has to justify the travel. None of that stops a job going ahead. It does change how it is planned, and it is better known early than late.

Royston is about 40 miles south west of Brandon, at the outer edge of where we travel. Saffron Walden, Haverhill and Huntingdon are all closer to us, so whether a job here works comes down to its size rather than its postcode.

North Hertfordshire Council. Anything structural, or anything that changes the footprint, is decided and signed off by them rather than by us. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

Matt or Victor, every time. The person quoting the job is the person accountable for it afterwards.

Not reliably, no. Durations quoted before anyone has looked are guesses, and older property is exactly where they go wrong. We would rather give you a real answer after the visit than a comfortable one before it.

Ring 07539 278705, or fill in the form with a line or two about the job. We come out and look at the property, because almost nothing in this trade can be priced properly from a photograph. The quote is free and there is no obligation.

At roughly 40 miles it sits outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full project the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather say so than quote a price that is mostly driving.
