Carpentry & General Building in Reading
Timber and composite decking, fencing, pergolas, garden buildings and general building work around the home.
We take on carpentry and general building work in Reading and across Berkshire and Oxfordshire, indoors and out.
Outside, that means timber and composite decking, fencing, gates, pergolas and garden buildings. Inside, it means the carpentry that goes with a renovation. Because we also lay bricks, plaster and pave, a job that needs several trades stays with one team.
What's included

Carpentry & General Building: common questions
Do you fit composite decking as well as timber?
Yes, we build decks in both timber and composite. We can explain the difference in cost and upkeep when we quote.
Can you replace an old fence?
Yes. We take down the old fence, set new posts and fit the new panels, and leave the garden tidy.
Do you take on small building jobs?
We're set up for building projects rather than odd jobs, so we don't take on handyman work such as putting up shelves or curtain rails. If you're not sure whether your job is one for us, call and ask.
