SE London Carpenter Reco for Living Room/Bedroom Alcove

6 replies

canadianinlondon · 03/12/2020 10:56

Hi everyone, does anyone have recommendations for a carpenter/joinery in SE London (near Penge/Beckenham/Crystal Palace/Anerley)?

Also, any ideas on costs for:

  1. Living Room Console with cupboards on bottom and shelves on top (building into the two alcoves where the fireplace is in between)?
  2. Bedroom wardrobes (building into the two alcoves) with clothes rack on top and drawers on the bottom?

And has it been worth it to get a carpenter/joiner vs. trying to DIY? I'm considering IKEA PAX for the bedroom wardrobes as I've gotten one quote and it's 6K£.. (I don't know how we would be able to fit it nicely into the alcoves though).

Thank you!

Attached images of what I'm looking for.

Can't see any pictures.

How wide are your wardrobe alcoves? IKEA Pax are 50/75/100cm wide, and excellent. A mid-way compromise might be (if the sizing more or less matched up) to get a carpenter to make Pax wardrobes look/behave like built-ins. Lots of IKEA hacks online which do similar, have a Google. Would surely come in far cheaper than 6k Shock

Z&V Limited - local father and son carpentry and kitchen fitting team. Take a look at their photos and reviews on MyBuilder. They did a fab job of my kitchen and have since done some carpentry work for me.

Hello, hope you are well. Would it be possible to send me Zoltan's contact details with a DM? I found their profile on myBuilder.com and sent an invite but I'm not sure when/if they'll see it and we need urgently a carpenter. Thanks a mil!
