More carpentry work

I am often asked to do carpentry work alongside the regular home maintenance jobs.

I have recently been asked to make bespoke covers for electrical consumer units (fuse boxes).

Depending upon the needs of the client and the space around the consumer unit, the design of the finished project can take all these factors into account.

Here are some recent examples…

Why box in a consumer unit?

A consumer unit (fuse box) in a hallway or living space is rarely a pretty sight. A well-made cover hides it neatly while keeping it easy to reach when you need to flip a switch or reset a trip. Each cover is built to suit the space, whether that’s a simple painted box or a panelled cabinet that matches nearby doors.

I build the cover only. Any electrical work needs a qualified electrician.

The same approach works for boilers, meters and pipework. For more bespoke pieces, see the oak-laminated bookcase and the wedding dress display case. Send me a photo of what you’d like hidden to get an estimate.
