D Down Carpentry

I am an experienced carpenter based in mid Devon covering all aspects of carpentry; from general 1st and 2nd fix, through to bespoke pieces of furniture. Whilst working for general builders throughout my career, I have also gained knowledge in many other aspects of the building trade. I pride myself on delivering a professional and friendly service, and endeavour to complete all work to the highest standard.

That's a wrap!! And completed just in time before the customer's son comes home from his residential! Really enjoyed just being given an idea and then making it come to life. Stunning view from his bed, and a cool chill out area above.

This was a fun one!! I was given a Pinterest photo at the beginning of the project to try and emulate, and I'm really happy with the way things turned out. The base was simple enough, but to create the back rest I had to make what looked like a set o

Pretty chuffed with this one. Replaced a wooden window that had eventually failed over time. This was definitely a challenge, but one I knew I was capable of completing. Fits like a dream, and the finish I applied blends in pretty damn well if you as

Finally a proper work bench!!!!! All the timber other than the plywood came from a pile of wood that had been left to rot. Absolutely buzzing with the result, can't wait to put it into action on a few up and coming projects.

Services

General Carpentry

All homes will require work to be carried out at some point to maintain their structural integrity and value. I cover all aspects of carpentry, ranging from load bearing stud walls and joist work, though to the finishing touches such as the fitting of skirting boards and the hanging of doors.
Garden Rooms, Sheds, & Outbuildings

Whether you need a dedicated outdoor office, an immersive studio or a functional garden shed, I will help transform your garden space with a carefully tailored structure.
Bespoke

Not all spaces are the same. If you have an irregular space, or just want to maximise your design freedom, I can help. My bespoke work ranges from built in pieces through to stand alone furniture.
