General Carpentry
From small repairs to larger renovation carpentry, HSB handle all aspects of general carpentry work. Whatever the job, we bring the same high standard and attention to detail that defines everything we do.
We work on loft conversions, extensions, repairs, replacements, bespoke storage solutions and much more. If it involves timber and craftsmanship, we can help.
Types of Work
General Carpentry for Every Job
Not every carpentry job fits neatly into a single category. Whatever the project, we bring the same high standard and attention to detail.
Decking
Pressure-treated or hardwood garden decking, laid level and true. Ground preparation, joist work, board laying and all associated fixings — built to last outdoors.
Timber Fencing
Close-board, lap panel, post-and-rail and bespoke timber fencing. Post holes dug properly, rails set level, boards fixed solid.
Garden Gates
Bespoke timber gates — pedestrian and vehicular, in a wide range of styles. Hung on the correct hardware and sized for the gap.
Flat-Pack Assembly
Wardrobe, shelving and furniture assembly done properly — secured to the wall, levelled, all fixings correct. We do the ones people get stuck on.
Loft Boarding
Safe loft boarding with proper insulation depth — raised boarding systems or fixed boards over new insulation. Access hatch fitting included.
Timber Repairs
Rotten sills, damaged frames, broken rails — we repair or replace timber elements throughout the home and outbuildings.
Shed & Outbuilding
Garden sheds, storage buildings and timber outbuildings — erected level on prepared bases, with doors hung and roofs watertight.
Timber Cladding
Feather-edge, shiplap, shiplap or channel-drain cladding for garden buildings, extensions and new builds — fitted with correct fixings and treatment.
Shelving & Storage
Alcove shelving, garage racking, utility room storage — measured, cut and fixed solid. Painted or oiled as required.
Loft Conversion Timber
Structural and finishing carpentry for loft conversions — floor, partition walls, knee walls and roof framing around windows and hatches.
Extension Carpentry
First and second fix carpentry for home extensions and renovation projects — working alongside builders and contractors to programme and specification.
Miscellaneous Fixes
Sticking drawers, squeaky floors, sagging shelves, broken rails — the small jobs that need doing properly. No job too small.
