πŸͺš Our Carpentry Specialties

πŸšͺ Built-in Cupboards & Wardrobes

Custom-fitted wardrobes designed to make the most of your space. Sliding doors, hinged doors, walk-in configurations, drawers, shelving, and shoe racks β€” built to your exact measurements in your choice of finish. Perfect for bedrooms where standard cupboards just don’t fit.

🍳 Kitchen Cabinetry

From a full kitchen rebuild to replacing tired cabinet doors β€” we connect you with carpenters who understand kitchen ergonomics. Drawers, pull-outs, corner units, spice racks, and custom-sized cabinets to fit your appliances perfectly. Coordinated with plumbers and electricians if needed.

🌳 Decking & Outdoor Structures

Wooden decks built for Cape Town’s weather β€” using treated pine, teak, or composite. Whether it’s a small balcony, a full entertainment deck, or a pool surround, our carpenters build with proper drainage, ventilation, and structural support. Includes balustrades, steps, and railing.

πŸ“š Shelving & Storage Systems

Fitted bookshelves, display units, under-stair storage, garage shelving, and custom wall units. Whether it’s a feature piece in your living room or practical storage in the garage β€” carpenters who measure twice and cut once.

πŸͺŸ Doors, Windows & Frames

New door installation, door hanging, frame replacement, window frames, and skirting boards. If you’re renovating, restoring an old house, or fixing a sticking door β€” our carpenters handle it with precision.

πŸͺ‘ Custom Furniture & Tables

Bespoke dining tables, coffee tables, TV stands, bedside tables, headboards, and unique feature pieces. Made to your specifications from your chosen wood β€” a piece of furniture nobody else owns.

Material Guide

πŸͺ΅ Wood Options We Work With

Different jobs call for different woods. Here’s a quick guide:

Pine

Affordable, versatile, and easy to work with. Great for cupboards, shelving, and painted finishes. Ideal for most interior carpentry.

Oak

Premium hardwood β€” strong, durable, beautiful grain. Perfect for feature furniture, dining tables, and high-end cabinetry.

Teak

Naturally weather-resistant β€” the gold standard for outdoor decking and structures exposed to Cape Town’s coastal climate.

Birch Ply

Modern, clean lines. Popular for contemporary shelving, kitchen units, and minimalist furniture. Paints and stains beautifully.

MDF / Melamine

Budget-friendly, smooth surface, and great for painted or wrapped finishes. Standard choice for built-in cupboards and kitchen cabinets.

Composite Decking

Wood-look, low-maintenance, and durable. No splinters, no rot, no repainting β€” ideal for modern outdoor spaces.

❓ Carpentry FAQs

Do you supply the materials or do I?
Both options work. We can supply everything (wood, hardware, fittings) at trade prices, or you can supply your own if you prefer to control the material. We’ll be clear in the quote about what’s included.

How long does a carpentry project take?
Small jobs (door hanging, single shelf) are usually done in a day. Medium jobs (built-in wardrobe, kitchen cabinets) typically take 3–10 working days. Larger projects (decking, full home fittings) take 2–6 weeks. You’ll get a realistic timeline in your quote.

Can you match existing cupboards or fittings?
Yes. If you’re adding to existing cupboards, matching a kitchen, or extending a shelving unit, we can match the finish, wood type, and style. Send a photo when you enquire so we can plan accordingly.

Do you offer custom designs?
Absolutely. Custom work is what we do best. Whether it’s an unusual-shaped cupboard for a sloped ceiling, a bespoke dining table, or a feature wall unit β€” we’ll design and build it to your exact spec.

Do you work on commercial projects?
Yes. We do commercial carpentry work β€” shop fitting, office storage, reception desks, restaurant fittings, and retail displays. Get in touch with the project brief and we’ll connect you with a suitable team.

What guarantee do you offer?
All carpentry work comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty. If anything fails due to workmanship within that period, we come back and fix it at no charge.

How do payments work?
Typically a deposit to secure materials and start date, then staged payments aligned with project milestones. We’ll set out the payment schedule clearly in your quote β€” no surprises, no demands for large upfront payments.
