Carpenter & Joiner in East Grinstead

Carpentry and joinery in East Grinstead

In October 2026 we boxed in a boiler at an East Grinstead property: a housing measured and built on site, then painted to match the units beside it, with the boiler still reachable for servicing behind it (case study below).

Built-in work like that is where a carpenter earns their keep. A flat-pack cupboard will not fit a corner that is out of true, and a boiler housing has to be taken apart again one day by a heating engineer.

A town with real timber in it

East Grinstead has one of the longest surviving runs of timber-framed buildings on any High Street in the country, and that character carries into a lot of the housing stock around it. Working on older timber asks for a different approach from new joinery: match the section and the species where you can, accept that the structure has moved, and scribe the new work to the old rather than forcing the old to be straight.

What we take on

• Boiler and pipework boxed in
• Internal doors hung, eased and adjusted
• Shelving and fitted storage
• Wooden gates made, hung and repaired
• Garden carpentry — pergolas, log stores, patio covers
• Furniture repaired and restored
