Carpentry
There’s something timeless about quality carpentry. Wood has warmth, character, and a natural beauty that no synthetic material can truly replicate. Whether it’s the satisfying weight of a solid oak door, the elegance of a handcrafted staircase, the practicality of perfectly fitted wardrobes, or the charm of traditional skirting boards and architraves, good carpentry elevates a home in ways both obvious and subtle. It’s the kind of craftsmanship people notice without always realising why a space feels so well put together.
At Klassic GS, we offer comprehensive carpentry services that span everything from small repairs to major structural work and bespoke furniture creation. Our carpenters are skilled craftspeople who take genuine pride in their trade, combining traditional techniques with modern tools and materials to deliver results that look beautiful, function perfectly, and stand the test of time. Whether you need something fixed, fitted, or built from scratch, we bring the same care and attention to every project.
Fitted furniture is one of our specialties. Unlike freestanding pieces that leave awkward gaps and waste valuable space, fitted furniture is designed and built to make the most of your rooms. Fitted wardrobes that use every inch of available space, with configurations tailored to how you actually store clothes — hanging rails at the right heights, shelving that suits your folding habits, drawers and compartments designed around your belongings. Fitted bookcases that transform alcoves into elegant storage. Home office setups with desks, shelving, and cable management designed around your working style. Kitchen units crafted to precise measurements and specific requirements. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and the space available.
We also handle all aspects of first-fix and second-fix carpentry for renovation and new build projects. First-fix work includes structural elements like floor joists, roof timbers, stud walls, and door linings — the bones of a building that must be solid and true for everything else to work properly. Second-fix carpentry covers the visible elements that transform a building site into a finished home: hanging doors, fitting skirting boards and architraves, installing staircases, adding window boards, and all the trim details that give rooms their polished appearance. Our carpenters work to exacting standards at both stages, ensuring structures are sound and finishes are flawless.
Doors deserve special mention because they’re encountered so frequently yet often overlooked. A well-fitted door that opens smoothly, closes properly, and sits perfectly in its frame is a small pleasure repeated dozens of times daily. Conversely, doors that stick, swing open on their own, don’t latch properly, or have visible gaps are constant minor irritations. We supply and fit all types of doors — internal and external, timber and composite, standard and bespoke — ensuring each one operates exactly as it should. We also repair existing doors that have dropped, warped, or developed problems, often saving the cost of replacement.
Staircases are a significant feature in any home, combining structural importance with visual impact. Whether you need a traditional timber staircase, a contemporary design with glass balustrades, a space-saving spiral, or modifications to an existing staircase, we have the expertise to deliver. We design staircases that meet building regulations, suit your property’s style, and feel comfortable to use day after day. Installation requires precision to ensure safety and longevity, and we take the time to get every detail right.
Window and door frames, skirting boards, architraves, dado rails, picture rails, and coving might seem like minor details, but they define a room’s character. The right profiles, properly installed, create coherent, finished interiors that feel considered and complete. We supply and fit a wide range of profiles to suit any style from period properties to contemporary homes, and we can match existing mouldings for repairs or extensions that need to blend seamlessly with original features.
Repairs and restoration form another important part of our carpentry service. Rotten window frames, damaged floorboards, broken door frames, wobbly banisters, sagging shelves — these problems are common in homes of all ages. Our carpenters assess damage carefully, determining whether repair or replacement is more appropriate. Where possible, we repair and restore rather than replace, preserving original features and minimising waste. Where replacement is necessary, we match existing styles to maintain consistency throughout your property.
We work with a variety of timbers, both softwoods and hardwoods, selecting materials appropriate to each application. For structural work and areas that will be painted, quality softwoods offer excellent performance at reasonable cost. For visible natural finishes, hardwoods like oak, walnut, or ash provide beauty and durability that justify their higher price. We advise on material choices based on the specific project, balancing appearance, performance, and budget to find the right solution for you.
Quality carpentry requires skill, patience, and proper tools. Joints must be tight, surfaces smooth, angles precise, and fixings secure. Our carpenters have years of experience and take genuine pride in their work. They measure twice, cut once, and never rush a job that deserves time and care. The result is carpentry work you can see, touch, and use with satisfaction — craftsmanship that adds real value to your home.
At Klassic GS, we believe that beautiful woodwork is one of life’s quiet pleasures. Let us bring that pleasure into your home.
