A Little More About Our Bespoke Joinery
Bespoke joinery means joinery that is designed and made specifically for your project rather than bought off the shelf or adapted from a standard range. Every piece is built to your exact specification, fitted to your space and finished to your requirements. It covers everything from staircases and oak framing to alcove units, cabinetry and fitted shelving.
How long does bespoke joinery take?
It depends on the scope of the work. A single bespoke piece, a fitted unit or a set of shelves, can typically be turned around relatively quickly once the design is agreed. Larger or more complex items like staircases or architectural oak framing take longer and are planned in as part of the wider project timeline. We'll always give you a clear idea of timescales before work begins.
What's the difference between joinery and carpentry?
Joinery generally refers to the making of wooden components in a workshop, things like doors, windows, staircases, fitted furniture and frames. Carpentry is the on-site installation and fixing of those components. In practice, at Rosedale the two go hand in hand. Our joiners make the pieces in our workshop and our team fits them on site, so there's no disconnect between the two.
It depends on the project and the finish you're looking for. We work with a range of timbers including oak, pine, ash and hardwoods, and we'll always talk through the options with you based on the look you want to achieve, the budget and where the piece is going in the home. For architectural work like oak framing, we source high quality structural oak that's built to last.
Does the joinery need to be part of a wider project with Rosedale?
Yes. Our bespoke joinery service is exclusive to projects we're building or managing. That means the joinery is always designed and delivered as part of a cohesive whole rather than in isolation. It's one of the things that makes the end result feel so considered, because the same team that builds your home also crafts the pieces that go inside it.
