Solid oak & black resin side table just finished.

Made from scratch using waney edge oak boards, paired with a deep black epoxy river and set on a Matt black frame.

Built by creating a mould from melamine board, shaping the live edges, sealing the boards, pouring the resin river, then flattening, sanding and finishing to bring everything together clean.

Each piece is completely unique.

Herringbone floor with boarder we recently completed.

Full engineered oak herringbone floor finished with a mitred border running through the whole space — tying every room together cleanly.

This one was all about the detail…
After laying the herringbone, we cut it back with the plunge saw to get it bang on, then routed the edges to take the border so everything flows properly.

Loads of tricky cuts on this one — angles, doorways, bay windows — but that’s what makes the finished look stand out.

The border really frames the floor and gives it that high-end finish

Another one wrapped up, more photos to follow of more rooms.

Another custom-built unit, designed and fitted to make the most of this alcove space.

We stripped the opening back and built a bespoke carcass from scratch, ensuring everything was perfectly square and solid. Internal shelving was set out to suit bottles, glassware and day-to-day use — keeping it both practical and clean. Push to open latches along with soft close hinges allows for easy operation of the doors.

A simple design done properly — sharp lines, tight gaps and a seamless fit into the room

Another custom project finished up this week — combining a built-in seating area with hidden storage and a cocktail bar.

The seating area was built from scratch with a lift-up lid for storage, finished with a fitted cushion and bead & butt panelling to keep everything clean and in line with the space.

The cocktail bar has been designed perfectly within the existing brick opening, with soft-close doors/drawers and floating shelves finished with brass rails for that extra details.
Granite worktops to follow from others.

Oak Herringbone floor with a border we recently fitted.

Started with a full set out from centre to keep the pattern running straight through the room, then worked each board in to keep everything tight and consistent.

Once the herringbone was down, it was cut back using a plunge saw, then the edges were routed — first with a chamfer and then a groove to take the tongue of the border boards. This allowed the border to be installed cleanly, with all mitres and corners cut in to properly frame the space.

Bit of a process on this one but well worth it for the final look. Oak flooring from

We recently completed this bespoke decking installation using Cladco stone grey composite boards, set on a solid timber subframe for strength and longevity.

Finished with bullnose edging boards and integrated solar lights to create a clean, modern look that comes alive in the evening. All materials supplied by Travis Perkins in Newbury.

Created these hidden cupboards using wall panels and push to open catches. This job involved creating a stud wall with openings and lining the walls with MDF. We made doors from MDF and swung them on soft close hinges. Wall panels were then added along with the push to open catches.
