Carpentry & Joinery in Golders Green
From hanging a single door to building fitted alcove units, we cover the carpentry and joinery that makes a home work properly. Precise mitres, clean scribes and a finish that suits the age of the house.
About our carpentry & joinery
We fit and repair skirting and architrave, hang and adjust internal doors, build alcove shelving and cupboards, fit wardrobes and media units, and make good around fireplaces and bay windows. In period homes we match original mouldings so new joinery sits comfortably with the old.
Bespoke work is where carpentry really earns its keep — fitted units scribed to uneven walls, window seats with storage, and shelving sized exactly to your books and belongings. We measure carefully, work to your brief, and finish ready for decorating.

Golders Green and Garden Suburb homes are full of original joinery worth preserving — panelled doors, deep skirtings and characterful staircases. We repair and match these sympathetically, and build new units that respect the period detailing.
You get one point of contact from first enquiry to finished job, a clear written quote before we start, and a tidy worksite throughout. We cover Golders Green, Temple Fortune, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Hoop Lane, Brent Cross and the surrounding NW11 streets.
What our customers say
Booked online and the job was done two days later — bathroom regrouted and resealed, no fuss and spotless afterwards.
— Mrs R. Stein, Golders Green
Fitted a whole flatpack wardrobe in under three hours, anchored it to the wall and took all the cardboard away. Faultless.
— D. Cohen, Temple Fortune
Replaced two fence panels and re-hung the side gate. Honest pricing, no upsell, and left the garden tidy.
— J. Levy, Hampstead Garden Suburb
Jet washed the whole driveway and it looks brand new. I genuinely couldn't believe the difference.
— C. Marsh, Brent Cross
Pictures hung, curtain pole up and a leaky tap fixed all in one visit. Saved me chasing three different trades.
— A. Patel, Finchley Road
Painted the hallway and stairs beautifully, sheeted everything up and cleaned as they went. Will book again.
— L. Goldberg, Hoop Lane
Carpentry & Joinery — your questions answered
Can you build fitted alcove units?
Yes — bespoke alcove shelving and cupboards are one of our most popular joinery jobs. We scribe them to the wall so they fit perfectly.
Can you match my existing skirting and architrave?
In most cases yes. We can source or have moulded profiles to match original period mouldings for a seamless result.
Do you hang doors?
We hang new doors, rehang dropped ones, fit locks and handles, and adjust doors that stick or catch.
Do you finish the woodwork or just fit it?
We fit and prepare ready for decorating, and can paint or stain the finished joinery if you would like us to.
What to expect when you book carpentry & joinery
Good joinery is measured twice and cut once. For bespoke work we take careful templates of the actual space — walls in older Golders Green homes are rarely truly square — so units scribe in neatly rather than leaving tell-tale gaps. We'll talk through timber, finish and ironmongery options, match existing mouldings where we're working alongside original features, and leave everything prepared and ready for decorating, or finished in paint or stain if you'd like us to take it all the way.
Booking is simple. Get in touch by phone, email or the contact form with a few details about the job — for carpentry & joinery that might mean hanging and adjusting internal doors, fitting skirting, architrave and dado, bespoke alcove shelving and cupboards — and we'll come back to you the same day. For smaller jobs we can often quote from your description; for larger ones we'll arrange a quick visit so the written quote is accurate. There's no call-out fee, the quote is itemised and valid for 30 days, and once you're happy we book a date that suits you and turn up when we say we will.
