Workshop-built joinery, fitted in Smarden
Smarden is one of the Weald's prettiest villages — listed timber-framed cottages, weatherboarded farmhouses and conservation-area restrictions. We work here regularly from our Biddenden base ten minutes away.
Smarden has one of the highest concentrations of listed buildings in the Weald and almost every job here touches a Grade II structure. We carry our own lime, peg tiles and oak framing stock so repairs match cleanly.
Our Biddenden workshop is roughly 4 miles from Smarden — a 10-minute drive — so templating visits, fittings and snagging trips don't carry distance charges. We've recently worked on streets including The Street, Pluckley Road, Bell Lane.
Recent Smarden project: Re-roof in handmade plain tiles and oak frame repairs on a Wealden hall house off The Street.
We work across the TN27 postcodes and recognise the typical housing stock in Smarden — listed timber-framed cottages, weatherboarded farmhouses, Wealden hall houses — meaning we already know which scribes, beam tolerances and material substitutions your property will need.

- Bespoke fitted wardrobes and alcove cabinetry

FAQs
Carpentry in Smarden — 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.
