Domestic Woodwork
Domestic Woodwork
How It Works
We inspect the piece or area, record defects and stabilise if needed, then provide a clear repair plan, timescale and conservation-led options.
Why Choose Domestic Woodwork?
Heritage joinery skills
Forty years of family experience in traditional timber techniques ensures repairs use appropriate joinery — dovetail, mortice & tenon and sympathetic veneer work.
Domestic, bespoke focus
Specialist in household fitted items and period features; every job is tailored to your property — Victorian terrace, Surrey cottage or contemporary apartment.
Comprehensive furniture-to-fit services
We combine restoration, upholstery and finishing so doors, skirtings, stair parts and fitted units are repaired, refinished and reinstalled as a single, coordinated project.
What we repair and refinish — typical domestic work includes internal doors and mouldings, skirting boards, architraves, fitted wardrobes and kitchen unit facings, stair spindles and handrails, sash window timber repairs, fireplace surrounds and built-in bookcases. We diagnose structural timber issues and decide whether a local splice, replacement section or full joinery renewal is the correct, least-invasive solution.
How we work — minor repairs and finishing are carried out on-site to avoid removing fitted items; larger components go to our workshop for precise joinery, dovetailing or veneering. We match timber species and grain, use reversible and consolidating techniques where appropriate, and finish with a traditional or modern coating to suit the existing patina. Typical jobs include:
- Skirting/architrave repair and replacement
- Door rebating, hinge re-cutting and latch realignment
- Veneer patching and edge repairs
- Stair and handrail repair, spindle replacement
- Refacing fitted wardrobes and kitchen doors
