Why a made to measure Alcove Cupboards Solution is the only choice in Oxford
Unlike modem homes that are all built to the same template, most of the homes in Oxford are older 1930’s semi’s, post-modernism style of the 80’s and even older period Victorian and Edwardian homes, with Georgian houses in the streets opposite the Oxford Play house, these were built by different work gangs.
This means even in a row of homes that look the same, you can bet that all the walls and interior are different measurements.
This means that a mass produced off the shelf solution made with standard sized units just doesn’t work, making the only solution is to make measure alcove cupboards.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Built in Furniture and the Process
Do you truly make made to measure furniture ?
Yes, we make custom made to measure furniture that is designed to fit the space.
We do not use the common used method of making ‘bespoke’ furniture by stacking standard sized cabinets together to best fill the space, then filling the gaps up with filler panels.
How is your Furniture made ?
Full Carcass construction
All our furniture is made fully lined, meaning you will get a fully enclosed cabinet/cupboard
All joined sections are applied with a front framework, covering any join or part.
A cheaper method that is used by others is to attach battens to the walls. The ceiling and floor would be an integral part of the construction and would be seen when viewed inside, its essentially a cheaper way to make built-in furniture.
These are often made by on the job Carpenters, and some of the larger companies.
What finishes do you offer ?
We can paint in any colour you like, and use paint from your preferred paint company, or alternatively in a extra hard lacquer.
Painting is carried out in our workshop before your furniture is installed in your home, meaning your furniture will be ready sooner with less disruption.
Do you work off Site or on Site
We construct your furniture in our fully equipped workshop, ready for installation.
This means we can control the quality of the manufacturing process using our dedicated machines.
Resulting in minimal disruption to you and your home.
Our fitting process takes a day or two at most , and your furniture is ready to use the day we finish.
Compare that to a company that works onsite. They will usually take over a week, cutting up all that wood in your lovely home, not forgetting how ever long it takes to painting it.
