Carpentry & Joinery in West Sussex & Surrey
A fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker with 51 years in business — for the timber work that needs doing properly.
About this service
Richard Cordrey is a fully qualified carpenter and cabinet maker, and carpentry runs through almost everything Cordreys does across West Sussex and Surrey — from shelving and storage inside the house to gates, garden structures and furniture outside it.
Indoors that means hanging new internal doors, shelving and storage racks, easing, adjusting and repairing doors, small joinery repairs, and furniture repaired or restored. Outdoors it means wooden gates made and hung, pergolas, log stores, patio covers, decking repairs, sheds and garden buildings.
Whether it is one shelf or a bespoke garden building, the approach is the same: we make you what you want, not what happens to be available. Tell us the idea — the visit and the quote are free.
