Can you match existing mouldings in an older house?

Usually. We take a profile from an existing length and mill to match it, which matters most in extensions and additions where new work meets original trim.

How do you stop slat spacing looking uneven?

By setting out the full wall before cutting, so the divisions are calculated across the real measured length and resolve symmetrically rather than running out at one end.

Can millwork be added without a full renovation?

Yes. Panelling, slatwork, and trim are frequently added to finished rooms. We plan around existing switches, outlets, and heating so nothing is boxed in that should not be.

Do you paint or finish the millwork?

Components are finished in the shop wherever the design allows, since the result is more consistent than finishing in place. We will tell you which parts need finishing after installation.

Panelling, slatwork, and trim

Architectural Millwork

Millwork is what carries a material through a house rather than leaving it confined to one room. Panelled walls, slatted screens, stair details, and run trim are what make a renovation read as considered instead of as a series of separate projects. It is also the work where a millimetre of inconsistency is visible from across the room.

What we create

Architectural Millwork

Wall paneling, trim details, feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and architectural wood elements that elevate the entire room.

Wall panelling

Panelled and battened walls set out so the rhythm stays even and lands correctly at corners, doors, and switches.

Slatted screens and feature walls

Slatwork where the spacing has to be consistent along the full run and the shadow line stays the same throughout.

Stair detailing

Treads, risers, stringers, and balustrade elements, where the geometry has to be exact and repeatable.

Trim, casing, and mouldings

Profiles milled to match an existing house or to establish a new detail consistently across every opening.

What the job involves

Setting Out Is Most of the Job

The visible quality of millwork comes almost entirely from setting out. Before anything is cut we work out how the spacing divides across the actual wall length, where it meets openings and corners, and how it resolves at the ends. A slat wall that starts perfectly and finishes with a half-width slat in the corner was set out from one end instead of from the centre.

The same logic applies to panelling around doors and windows, and to stairs, where every riser has to be identical or the inconsistency is felt underfoot before it is seen. We plan those divisions on paper, confirm them against site measurements, and only then mill the components.
