Question 1

Do I need a finished brief before getting in touch?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need drawings or a fully finished idea before making an enquiry.
A short description, a few photos of the room or area, approximate measurements and your location are usually enough to begin the conversation.

Question 2

What kind of work do you take on?

Accepted Answer

We create bespoke kitchens, fitted furniture, alcove units, wardrobes, storage, furniture, restoration work and smaller handmade pieces.
If you are unsure whether your project is suitable, please send a few details and we can let you know.

Question 3

Do you work with awkward spaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Much of the work is made to fit a particular room, wall, alcove or older property where standard furniture does not work well.
The design can be shaped around the space, how it is used and what needs to be stored, displayed or improved.

Question 4

Do you visit the space before quoting?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the project.

For some enquiries, photographs, measurements and a conversation are enough to give an initial guide. For more detailed fitted work, a free of charge visit may be needed before confirming the final design, price and timescale.

Question 5

Where do you work?

Accepted Answer

The Loughborough Joinery Company is based in Rothley, Leicestershire and usually works with homeowners across Leicestershire and the surrounding area.

For projects further away, please get in touch and we can let you know whether it is possible.

Question 6

How long does a bespoke project take?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different.

Timescales depend on the size of the project, the materials, the level of detail required and the current workshop schedule. We will discuss expected timings with you before work begins.

Question 7

Do you provide drawings?

Accepted Answer

For bespoke and fitted work, drawings or visual information may be provided where needed to explain the design, proportions, materials and details.

The level of drawing depends on the type and scale of the project.

Question 8

Can you match an existing style or piece of joinery?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes.

For restoration, repairs or work in older homes, details can be designed to sit carefully with what is already there. Please send photographs of the existing joinery or room when making an enquiry.

Question 9

Do you make freestanding furniture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside fitted joinery and kitchens, we can make smaller furniture pieces and one-off items depending on the brief.
