Carpenters in the Forest of Dean

Carpentry is the first word in our name, and most of our jobs have some in them.

Roof timbers, dormers, stud walls and framed openings, decks and pergolas: if it's built in timber, inside the house or out, it's work we do.

On older houses that often means working with what's already there. Walls are rarely straight and openings need framing out properly before anything new can go in, so we take the time to get the structure right first.
