| Jobs
are often sent to us that no one else will do. This
is because we have a group of skilled carpenters,
joiners, wood machinists, and hand wood turners who
are quite willing to think outside the square to tackle
tricky technical problems. People who need props for
advertising, movies, casting moulds, or something
for restoration come to us. We are listed on the National
Trust Register for National Trust Restoration work.
We
are happy to advise you on your project before you
begin building. We can often save you money when you
consult us early, during the design process. We have
many years experience that can help solve problems
before they begin. We charge an hourly rate for this
comprehensive consultation service. Our salespeople
are not only salespeople; they are knowledgeable stair
builders and can give you valuable technical advice.
Because
we cannot estimate how long these unusual jobs will
take to complete, they are done on a “do and
charge” basis. That means we do not give a quoted
price up front, and instead charge you our hourly
rate times the number of hours it takes to make them.
Have a look at these photos and call us if you have
questions!
