    Doors, shutters, panelling

    Carpentry & Joinery

    Paul is a carpenter first. The skills that save a sash window also put a sagging front door right or rebuild a set of shutters.

    How Paul does it

    Front doors and frames, internal shutters and shutter boxes, window boards, architraves, skirting and panelling. Repairs where possible, new to match where not.

    General carpentry too, in period houses and newer ones, as long as it is worth doing properly.
