Shelving / cupboards in Alcoves Post Reply

[joolia]

We would like cupboards / shelving building into the alcoves in our front room - nothing too fancy and the alcoves are standard size for a terrace house (about 1m wide either side of the fireplace). I've had 2 companies / carpenters out to quote and both £2000+ which seems alot.

Is this really the going rate for built in shelving?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good company or carpenter who could build these for us

Many thanks

Hi Julia

My partner is a carpenter . He can come around have a look if you like and maybe give you a cheaper quote . His name is Jean(French) 07971306295.

Good Luck

We've used Phil Miles a few times and his work is excellent. He's a really lovely bloke too.

I think a built-in wardrobe was £700/£800ish, and double bookcase/cupboards either side of the fireplace were under £1,000.

Hello
I am an Interior Designer and have a few carpenters that I can really recommend, having worked with them many times. If you send me a direct mail to mail@londonpropertymakeover.com then I can share details. They have different price points so I can provide details of a budget price vs more premium.

Thanks

Hi Julia,

We have just received a quote from Lahart Carpentry for £1700 for our alcove shelving and cupboards. Our alcoves are 120cm wide and were having cupboards and shelving on one side with drawers and shelving on the other. Price does not include painting but I think its reasonable?

Good Luck

Hey,

Just to add were having floating shelves.

Try the London Alcove Company on 020 8874 7026 or sales@london alcove.com.

They are based in Earlsfield, this is exactly what they do keep the costs down.

I would recommend John Colvin of Colvin Brothers

He fitted some fitted wardrobes and drawers in our new loft bedroom and was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
