About Me
After many years as a carpenter working on various projects of all sizes, I decided to specialise and hone my expertise in fitted living room alcove furniture in Bristol. With years of knowledge, I provide my clients with the perfect solutions no matter the requirements.
Fitted furniture perfectly utilises the space on either side of the chimney breast. These alcove cupboards and shelves provide practical storage, hide away wires, and are beautiful ways to display all kinds of items.
I want you to know that keeping in character with your home is of utmost importance, so I work closely with you to provide the perfect solution. Cupboards and fitted shelves follow every contour of your home, and the finished product looks like it’s always been there. The finished product is both practical and eye-catching, not to mention timeless and full of character.
Custom hand-made pieces are designed and built in my workshop, tailored to your needs and fitted in houses across the South West, UK.
my work
I take great pride in ensuring my work is finished to the highest standards and completed in a time-efficient manner. Most of the work is carried out in my workshop prior to the day of fit. Depending on the size of the project, I will typically be at yours for two or three days.
I specialise in designing and making bespoke fitted furniture, typically timeless traditional pieces. Please see my Instagram or portfolio. Using the space available, I create superb storage to display and show off your belongings.
I endeavour to always be on time and take great pride in keeping your home neat and tidy. I provide dust sheets, dust extractions and cleaning equipment to ensure we leave your house exactly how I found it.
All of the images on this website are examples from a number of our previous projects, for which we will happily provide references upon request. I have worked hard to build a strong reputation in the area, and a great deal of our work is through recommendations as well as repeat custom.
How i work
Once initial contact is made, I can usually provide you with an approximate quote for the work. I will then arrange a visit to take measurements and discuss your ideas for creating a bespoke design for your space.
though the builds are bespoke the prices are fairly standardised because most Victorian / Edwardian homes have similar alcove spaces.
Once you are happy to proceed with the work, I will book an installation date; this tends to be 1/2 months in the the future.
All you need to do is buy some handles, choose a paint colour, and decide where to place the shelves.
A week before I start, I will be back in contact to request a 50% down payment, and I will start the build in my workshop.
I prepare as much as possible in my Bristol workshop, thus limiting the amount of dust and upheaval while I’m working in your home.
Installation usually takes a few days, depending on the project size. If items need to be sprayed.
Typical alcove cabinets
The alcove cabinets that I design and build are fully bespoke and made to fit your exact alcove space. I do the majority of the build in my workshop in Bristol. The cabinets contain a single fixed shelf giving both the shelf and the cabinet extra strength and rigidity. The doors whether shaker or ultramodern flat panel doors are hung with top-of-the-range soft-close Blum hinges that will last a lifetime.
Knowing that no floors are perfect I spend a lot of time ensuring the cabinets are perfectly level across the room, and fixed firmly in place. Once I have a level base the fitted cupboards are built up and topped with a cabinet worktop. the worktop will have a 80mm wooden cable tidy if required for lamps, TV’s and other electrical items. Everything is bespoke and unique to your home, so the final result fits perfectly with optimised storage and even infill scribes around the edges.
I try my best to relocate electrical sockets, internet lines and TV aerials. By doing this they are presented neatly where they need to be, rather than the random places they may start out to be.
With years of experience in fitted furniture design and build, I work closely with you to provide precisely what you desire.

Testimonials
Brent has an undeniable eye for detail and precision when it comes to his carpentry work.
He designed, built and fitted our bespoke wardrobes and cupboards for us throughout the whole house, even despite him having to work with the challenging interior of our 200-year-old cottage.
Friendly, professional and skilled, we definitely will hire him again.
Brent was excellent - polite and extremely competent. Strongly recommended.
Highly recommended. Brent did a fantastic job of installing alcove cabinets and shelving in our living room in Bristol. He was responsive, his pricing was clear, and the quality of the joinery and finishing is excellent. I would definitely use him for other joinery projects in the future.
Brent did a wonderful job putting in alcove cupboards and shelves - lots of shelves! There isn’t a right angle in the house, so absolutely everything had to be carefully measured and custom cut to size. Brent was meticulous, tidy, punctual and the end product is something we are very proud of. Now we can’t picture the house without Brent’s additions.
We will certainly use his services again, and we recommend him to everybody we hear has carpentry needs 😊
Brent fitted some under stairs cupboards and an outdoor bin store for us this year - we were really impressed and would definitely approach him again.
Brent installed two recess wardrobes in my bedroom. I am delighted with the finished result.
Brent is a fantastic cabinet maker. His work is first class. He works hard and is so easy to communicate with. He is very tidy and always punctual. I will definitely use him again for future projects and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
