Carpenter & Joiner in Dorking

Carpentry and joinery in Dorking

Around Dorking the carpentry is as often outdoors as in: gates, pergolas, log stores, patio covers and the repair of garden timber that has taken a few hard winters. Gardens here are frequently on a slope, which makes a made-to-measure structure far more useful than a kit.

Indoors it is doors, shelving, storage and furniture repair, all by the same qualified carpenter and cabinet maker.

Sloping ground and exposed timber

Dorking sits in the gap where the Mole cuts through the North Downs, and the land around it rises steeply on both sides. Garden structures on sloping ground need their own levels worked out rather than a flat-pack base, and timber on an exposed site weathers faster on the side that takes the weather — which is why one face of a gate or fence often fails long before the rest.
