Workshop-built joinery, fitted in Cranbrook
Cranbrook's Wealden-tile cottages and weatherboarded townhouses need a builder who respects the conservation area. We've worked on Stone Street terraces, farmhouse renovations and modern extensions just outside the town.
Cranbrook is our nearest town and the conservation overlay around Stone Street and the High Street shapes most of what we build here — peg tiles, painted weatherboarding and small-pane sashes are non-negotiable details. We're on site within ten minutes from the Biddenden yard so site visits and snagging visits are easy to schedule.
Our Biddenden workshop is roughly 4 miles from Cranbrook — a 10-minute drive — so templating visits, fittings and snagging trips don't carry distance charges. We've recently worked on streets including Stone Street, The Hill, Angley Road.
Recent Cranbrook project: Single-storey rear extension on a 1930s detached off Angley Road with matching peg-tile roof.
We work across the TN17 postcodes and recognise the typical housing stock in Cranbrook — Wealden hall houses, weatherboarded cottages, 1990s Hartley estates — meaning we already know which scribes, beam tolerances and material substitutions your property will need.

- Bespoke fitted wardrobes and alcove cabinetry
- Workshop-built kitchen carcasses and worktops

FAQs
Carpentry in Cranbrook — frequently asked
Do you build joinery for Cranbrook properties in your own workshop?
Yes. Doors, staircases, alcove units and fitted furniture for Cranbrook are made in our Biddenden workshop, templated on site first so they fit the actual opening rather than a standard size.
Can Wealden hall houses around Cranbrook be extended?
Yes, but almost always by a linked or subordinate addition rather than by cutting into the original frame. Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and the conservation officer will want the historic form to stay legible.
What about work near Sissinghurst?
Properties in the Sissinghurst Castle setting attract closer scrutiny on materials and roofline. We agree tile, brick and joinery details before the application goes in.
How long do bespoke doors take?
Typical lead time is 6–8 weeks from sign-off including hardware. Installation is 1–2 days per opening including making-good.
What ironmongery do you supply?
We have trade accounts with Joseph Giles, Croft, Frank Allart and Corston — solid brass, bronze and stainless options in any finish from polished to patinated.
What worktops do you recommend?
For day-to-day durability: 30mm quartz (Caesarstone, Silestone) or sintered stone (Dekton, Neolith). For period homes: honed limestone, granite or 40mm European oak.
