Workshop-built joinery, fitted in Hawkhurst

From the Moor to Highgate and out to Gills Green, Hawkhurst is one of our most-frequent postcodes. Side-return extensions, garage conversions and kitchen renovations dominate the workload here.

Hawkhurst sits right on the Kent / East Sussex border so we handle Tunbridge Wells Borough and Rother District planning in equal measure here. The tile-hung Victorian and mid-century stock around The Moor and Highgate is the bread-and-butter of our refurbishment work.

Our Biddenden workshop is roughly 8 miles from Hawkhurst — a 16-minute drive — so templating visits, fittings and snagging trips don't carry distance charges. We've recently worked on streets including Rye Road, High Street, Highgate Hill.

Recent Hawkhurst project: Full kitchen refurbishment with structural opening through to a new garden room in a 1960s detached near Highgate.

We work across the TN18 postcodes and recognise the typical housing stock in Hawkhursttile-hung Victorian villas, mid-century semis, post-war bungalows — meaning we already know which scribes, beam tolerances and material substitutions your property will need.

  • Solid hardwood doors, staircases and architraves
  • Bespoke fitted wardrobes and alcove cabinetry
  • Workshop-built kitchen carcasses and worktops
  • Period-property joinery: sash windows, oak frames, beam scribes
  • TV media walls, under-stairs storage and home offices

FAQs

Carpentry in Hawkhurst — frequently asked

Can you match period mouldings?

Yes — we template existing skirting, architrave and cornice profiles and machine matching runs in oak, ash, tulipwood or painted MDF.

Do you make solid hardwood doors?

Yes — solid oak, ash, walnut and engineered cores, mortise-and-tenon construction, with shellac, oil or paint finishes.

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.

Can you fit doors in older properties with out-of-square openings?

Yes — every opening is measured before workshop production and doors are scribed on site to follow the actual opening, not a standard size.

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.

Do you do staircases as well as doors?

Yes — bespoke staircases in oak, ash or painted softwood, including spindles, newels and handrails matched to the property.
