# Ashwood Carpentry & Building > Carpenter and builder based in Pencoed, working across Bridgend county, the Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff. Fitted wardrobes, alcove joinery, wall panelling, media walls, kitchen fitting, internal doors, fire doors, staircases, loft boarding, fencing, oak porches, and load-bearing wall removals with RSJ steel beams. Every job starts with a free measure-up and a written specification before anything is ordered. Nine reviews on the Google profile, all five stars. ## What this business does and does not do Load-bearing wall removals are installed to a structural engineer's calculations, and building control inspects and signs the work off. Ashwood does not issue that certification itself. Fire doors are fitted to the manufacturer's specification with the installation documented on handover. Ashwood is not a third party certificated installer under FIRAS, BM TRADA or any similar scheme. Electrical work, gas work and final plumbing are certified separately by the relevant trade. ## Services - [Fitted wardrobes](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/fitted-wardrobes): alcove, chimney breast or full wall, scribed to the room so there is no gap - [Wall panelling](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/wall-panelling): dado, full height, shaker grid and slatted, set out around sockets and radiators before cutting - [Wall removals and RSJ beams](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/wall-removals-and-rsj-beams): engineer calculates, we install, building control signs off - [Fire doors](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/fire-doors): FD30S for HMOs, flats and small commercial premises - [Kitchen fitting](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/kitchen-fitting): units, worktops, doors and end panels - [Internal doors](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/internal-doors): doors, linings, architrave and handles - [Media walls](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/media-walls): television recessed, cables out of sight - [Alcove shelving and joinery](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/alcove-shelving-and-joinery): both sides level from one datum line - [Staircases and balustrade](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/staircases-and-balustrade) - [Oak porches](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/oak-porches): green oak, cut and pegged on site - [Loft boarding](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/loft-boarding): raised clear of the insulation - [Skirting, architrave and coving](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/skirting-architrave-and-coving) - [Fencing and gates](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/fencing-and-gates) - [Second-fix carpentry](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/service/second-fix-carpentry) ## Answers to common questions - [How to tell whether your wall is load-bearing](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/is-my-wall-load-bearing) - [What a wall removal actually involves](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/what-a-wall-removal-involves) - [How to set out wall panelling](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/how-to-set-out-wall-panelling) - [Which panelling suits which room](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/which-panelling-suits-which-room) - [Fitted wardrobes or freestanding](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/fitted-wardrobes-or-freestanding) - [What scribing is](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/what-is-scribing) - [Getting alcove shelving level both sides](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/alcove-shelving-both-sides-level) - [Reusing door frames or fitting new linings](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/reuse-door-frames-or-new-linings) - [The cheap moment to change skirting](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/cheap-moment-to-change-skirting) - [What to decide before a media wall is built](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/media-wall-decisions) - [Why raised loft boarding matters](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/why-raised-loft-boarding-matters) - [What a kitchen fitter needs before day one](https://ashwoodcarpentrybuilding.co.uk/blog/kitchen-fitting-before-day-one) ## Areas covered Pencoed, Bridgend, Cowbridge, Porthcawl, Pontyclun, Llanharan, Llantrisant and Cardiff.
