Questions
How do I commission a custom furniture piece?
Contact us via phone or email to discuss your requirements. We'll arrange a consultation to measure spaces, review design ideas, and provide a detailed quotation before starting work.
What materials do you use?
We use sustainably sourced British, European, and North American hardwoods. Recycled timber and fittings are incorporated where appropriate, with options including oak, walnut, ash, and cherry.
Are your furniture pieces environmentally friendly?
Yes. We prioritise responsibly managed forests for timber sourcing and incorporate recycled materials. Our durable designs reduce the need for replacements, supporting long-term sustainability.
Do you deliver and install furniture?
Yes, we handle all delivery and installation personally. This ensures proper handling of custom pieces and allows us to address any final adjustments on-site.
Why aren't you VAT registered?
As a small business focused on private clients, we remain outside the VAT scheme to offer more competitive pricing. This benefits clients through lower overall costs for our handmade furniture.
