Process

  • Contact us by phone or email for an initial consultation. If you have drawings, sketches or photos, you can send these to us by email but if not, we can work with you on turning your idea into a brief. We can usually provide an estimated quote and lead-in times at this stage.

  • If you decide to move forward with the project, we will then visit the site to take measurements, finalise the design and material requirements and can then provide a full quote.

  • Once we have finalised the above stages and confirmed dates, we will first prepare what we can at our workshop facilities and then come onsite to carry out the remainder of the installation.

  • If you are looking for an oil or lacquer-based finish that can be applied by hand, we can carry this out for you. If you are looking for a painted or spray-application finish, we can put you in touch with trusted companies that we work with.

Materials

  • MDF - medium density fibreboard is generally our recommended material if you are looking for a painted finish. We find this to be the most cost-effective and stable material to work with.

  • Birch Ply - a light coloured material with cut edges that display the multiple layers that make up the sheets. We recommend a clear or tinted lacquer or oil to seal surfaces.

  • Oak Veneer - a thin layer of oak layered on top of MDF. This gives you the appearance of oak at a cost closer to MDF. We recommend a clear or tinted lacquer or oil to seal surfaces.

  • Solid Oak - a premium material that can be used either for edging or for the entire solution. We recommend a clear or tinted lacquer or oil to seal surfaces.
