How did you get involved in Mr and Mrs Maxted's property?
Initially, Mr Maxted contacted me to design and install a bespoke kitchen in his barn conversion. He must have been impressed with my work as he then asked me to design and install a staircase, cupboards in alcoves, wall panelling and cupboards, drinks case and hi fi cabinet, flooring, doors and skirting architraves, the study, a dressing room off the main bedroom, cupboards in the bedroom and even the bed!

What wood was used?
The kitchen was completed using oak and pippy burr oak, as were all
of the wood panelling and the panels in the bedroom. The stairs were in oak, the study in American black walnut and the flooring in
European oak.

How many people did it take to work on the job?
We had four people on the job and it took about eight months in total.
I didn't anticipate spending so much time at the property. It just escalated from the kitchen.

What was the most challenging part of the job?
It would have to be the curved doors in the kitchen but I believe that it was worth the time and effort as it makes the kitchen.

What other services do you offer customers?
I can now offer building works as, very often, when designing and fitting
a kitchen walls may need to be knocked down to fit that design.
It's all part of the process.
