Streatham is home. Our base sits in SW16, so this is the area we know street by street and reach fastest, and it happens to hold the widest range of housing in the patch, from Victorian terraces off the High Road to mansion blocks along it and larger period houses up around Telford Park and Streatham Hill. That variety keeps the carpentry interesting. We hang and ease doors, match and renew period skirting and architrave, repair staircases, lay flooring and build fitted storage to suit whichever kind of home we are in.
The everyday work here follows the stock. The terraces off the High Road, many split into upper and lower flats, bring alcove shelving and doors made good; the period conversions throughout SW16 bring doors rehung, trim made good and pipework boxed in; the mansion flats along the High Road bring heavy original doors to ease and tall storage for high ceilings; and the big houses around Telford Park bring the considered joinery of a family home. Owners, landlords and the many local letting agents all call on it, often on the same street within a week.
Being round the corner means Streatham gets our quickest response, and there is no travel to factor into a small job. One team covers the joinery and any decorating or plumbing that ties in, so a door, a shelf and a patch of skirting can be sorted in a single visit rather than three. We repair before we replace where it makes sense, agree a clear price up front, and leave the place tidy. From a single sticking door in a converted flat to a fitted study in a Telford Park house, call 0333 011 1874.

Why Streatham homes and landlords rely on us for carpentry and joinery
The larger period houses up around Telford Park and Streatham Hill carry the most involved joinery in SW16 - extensive original trim to match when a section is renewed, staircases and balustrades to repair, and generous rooms that take a fitted study, boot room or run of library shelving built to period detail. This is finish-led work where a matched profile and a tight joint matter more than speed.
The mansion flats and period blocks along the High Road are a different job again. Their solid original doors and deep skirting repay careful repair over replacement, so we ease and rehang heavy doors and overhaul their hinges and latches rather than swap them, and scale tall wardrobes and shelving to the high ceilings a period block gives you.
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces off the High Road, a large share now converted into flats, bring the bread-and-butter work: alcove cupboards and bookshelves templated to out-of-square chimney breasts, deep skirting and architrave matched when renewed, doors rehung square where a conversion left them binding, and fire doors fitted correctly on flat entrances and shared stairs where they are needed.

It suits homeowners wanting fitted storage or trim put right, landlords needing doors and woodwork repaired between tenancies, and anyone with an awkward space that needs a made-to-measure solution.

What you get with carpentry and joinery from us
Made to fit awkward spaces
Bespoke joinery is scribed to out-of-square walls and sloping ceilings that off-the-shelf units cannot match.
Repair before replace
Where a door, frame or piece of trim can be adjusted or mended, we tell you and save you the cost of replacement.
A neat, lasting fit
Careful scribing and fixing mean doors swing true and joints stay tight for years.
Storage that earns its space
Alcoves, under-stairs voids and box rooms become practical, good-looking storage.

Carpentry & Joinery in Streatham — FAQs
How quickly can you get to a job in Streatham?
Streatham is where we are based, so we can usually get to local jobs quickly — often the same day for smaller repairs, depending on our schedule.
Do you know the older properties common in Streatham?
Yes. Many Streatham homes are Victorian or Edwardian conversions, and we are used to the quirks that come with them — from original woodwork to older plumbing.
Do you look after converted flats and mansion blocks in Streatham?
Yes. A lot of Streatham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces have been split into flats, and there are mansion blocks and purpose-built flats along the High Road. We are used to the shared soil stacks, communal plumbing and older pipework that come with them.
Do you work on the larger period houses around Streatham Hill and Telford Park?
We do. The bigger houses up towards Streatham Hill and Telford Park often need sympathetic upkeep — sash windows, tired plaster, redecoration and older heating — and we handle that everyday work with one team covering every trade.
Do you make bespoke pieces or only fit standard items?
Both. We fit off-the-shelf doors, shelving and units, and we also build bespoke storage and joinery to suit awkward spaces and specific requirements.
Can you repair existing woodwork rather than replace it?
Where it makes sense, yes — repairing or adjusting existing doors, frames and trim is often quicker and cheaper than replacing them, and we will advise honestly.
Do you hang doors and fit locks too?
Yes, we hang doors, fit handles and hinges, and can fit locks — see our Locksmith service for security-specific work.
Can you match new woodwork to existing period trim?
In most cases, yes. We can match the profile of original skirting, architrave and mouldings so repairs and additions blend in rather than stand out, which matters in older homes.
Do you fit fire doors?
Yes. We hang and fit fire doors and their frames, which are often needed in flats, conversions and shared houses. Tell us the requirement and we will fit the correct door and fittings.
How long does fitted storage take to build?
It varies with the design, but many alcove units, wardrobes and shelving jobs are completed in a day or two on site. We will give you a clear timescale with your quote.
