Can a loft in Kesgrave be converted?
Orwell Carpentry carries out loft conversions, including dormer and hip to gable. Most lofts can be converted, but it depends on the height, the angle and the structure of the roof. The first meeting includes checking the loft space and the floor joists.
A standard loft conversion takes around 8 to 10 weeks on average, and more complex types such as hip to gable may take longer. A structural engineer is involved when necessary, and the process covers approvals and building regulations.
Can you fit internal doors yourself?
Yes, if you are confident with a plane and a chisel. The hard parts are an even gap all round, clean copyright recesses and a latch that lines up, and a door trimmed too far cannot be put back. Where you have the doors but not the time, Orwell Carpentry gives labour only estimates to fit them.
What makes a fence last?
New fencing round front and back gardens is Orwell Carpentry work. Sturdy and stylish options are both available, so a fence can be practical without looking bare. The first consultation is free.
Rot starts where the post enters the ground, because that is where it stays damp. Treated posts and a base that drains well matter more than anything else. A panel is easy to replace, a post much less so.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Orwell Carpentry carries out bathroom renovations. You can start with just a rough idea and a kitchen fitter in Woodbridge style in mind, and suggestions are developed from it.
A couple of weeks is typical for a small bathroom. Keeping the toilet and shower where they are is the biggest single saving, since moving them means opening floors. Wall panelling, lighting and storage give a bathroom its character.
