Common questions
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes, that is the whole point of this one. Most of these take under an hour each. Booked one at a time they cost you a visit every time, which is why so many of them never get done.
Is there a minimum charge?
There is a minimum for a visit, which is exactly why a list is better value than a single job. Send the list and we will tell you what it comes to before we come out.
Can you fix a door that catches?
Usually in minutes. Doors catch because the hinges have dropped, the frame has moved or the flooring has changed. Which of those it is decides whether it is a five minute adjustment or a rehang, and we can often tell from a photo.
Will you make good after another trade?
Yes. We will also tell you honestly whether it is worth making good or whether the previous work needs redoing, which is not always what people want to hear.
How quickly can you come?
Small jobs are easier to slot in than a full fit. Send us the list and we will give you a date rather than a maybe.

Wardrobes
Fitted wardrobes or freestanding: what you actually gain
Fitted costs more than a flat-pack. Here is what the money buys, and when freestanding is genuinely the better call.
Wardrobes
Why wardrobe doors do not line up, and what scribing is
Walls bow, floors fall away and ceilings drop. Scribing is how a square carcass ends up looking like it grew there.
