Understanding what sets Rawwood Projects apart in the competitive carpentry and building industry.
When it comes to carpentry and building services in Surrey, the quality of workmanship can vary enormously. At Rawwood Projects, we’ve built our reputation on delivering consistently exceptional results, regardless of the project size. Our lead carpenter, Conor Lawlor, personally oversees every job to ensure our high standards are maintained from start to finish. This hands-on approach means you’re not just getting a service – you’re getting the expertise of someone who genuinely cares about the outcome.
Our general building services encompass everything from small repairs to major renovation projects. Whether you’re looking to add value to your home with a garage or loft conversion, completely renovate a tired property, or need professional plastering and rendering, we have the skills and experience to deliver. We work closely with architects and building control officers when required, ensuring all work meets current building regulations and is completed to the highest professional standards.
Carpentry and joinery work requires a particular set of skills that take years to develop. From the precision required to hang a door perfectly (so it opens and closes smoothly without rubbing or sticking) to the craftsmanship needed to install intricate skirting boards and architraves, our team brings decades of combined experience to every task. We also specialise in staircase installation and renovation – whether you need a complete new staircase or just want to refresh your existing one with new treads and risers, we can help.
Our bespoke furniture service is something we’re particularly proud of. Off-the-shelf furniture rarely fits perfectly, especially in older properties with their characterful quirks and uneven walls. By creating custom pieces tailored to your exact specifications, we can maximise storage space, complement your existing décor, and create furniture that becomes a genuine feature of your home. From alcove shelving and built-in wardrobes to complete home office setups and entertainment centres, we design and build pieces that are both beautiful and functional.
Outdoor projects require careful consideration of weather resistance and durability. Our decking installations use premium-quality timber or low-maintenance composite materials, properly treated and installed to withstand the British climate. We design and build garden rooms, summerhouses, and office pods that are fully insulated and wired for electricity, creating genuine year-round living spaces in your garden. Our fencing work includes closeboard, panel, picket, and trellis options, all installed with proper concrete posts for lasting stability.
We understand that embarking on a building or renovation project can feel daunting. There are decisions to make about design, materials, and budgets, not to mention the disruption to your daily life. That’s why we guide you through every stage of the process, offering expert advice while respecting your vision and preferences. We provide clear, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for, and we keep you updated on progress throughout. Our goal is to make your project as stress-free as possible while delivering results that exceed your expectations.
Service Questions
Services FAQ
Common questions about our specific carpentry and building services answered in detail.
Q1. What types of kitchen fitting services do you offer?
We offer comprehensive kitchen fitting services including removal of old kitchens, installation of new units and worktops, fitting appliances, installing sinks and taps (plumbing), and finishing work like tiling backsplashes and painting. We can work with kitchen units you’ve purchased from suppliers like IKEA, Howdens, or Wren, or source bespoke cabinetry. We handle everything from a simple cabinet replacement to a complete kitchen redesign.
Q2. Can you install wood flooring throughout my home?
Absolutely. We install all types of wood flooring including solid hardwood, engineered wood, and high-quality laminate. We’ll assess your subfloor, carry out any necessary preparation work, install appropriate underlay, and lay the flooring with precision. We also fit skirting boards and door thresholds to complete the look. We can advise on the best flooring options for different rooms based on moisture levels and traffic.
Q3. How do you approach a loft conversion project?
A loft conversion typically involves structural work (installing steels and floor joists), constructing a staircase, adding windows or dormers, installing insulation, completing first and second fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, and final decoration. We manage the entire project and coordinate with building control. The process usually takes 6-10 weeks depending on complexity. We’ll discuss designs, obtain any necessary planning permission, and ensure Building Regulations compliance.
Q4. What’s involved in building a garden room?
Our garden room projects start with ground preparation and laying a suitable base (typically concrete pad or adjustable pads). We then construct the timber frame, install insulation (typically 100mm+ for year-round use), weatherproof the exterior, fit windows and doors, install electrics (sockets, lighting, heating), and complete interior finishing. We can build various styles from traditional summerhouses to contemporary pods, and they’re typically complete within 2-4 weeks.
Q5. Do you offer staircase renovation services?
Yes, we offer complete staircase renovation services. This can range from minor updates like new handrails and spindles to complete staircase replacement. We can transform tired, dated staircases with new treads, risers, and balustrades. We work with various styles from traditional turned spindles to contemporary glass and stainless steel designs. We’ll assess your existing structure and advise on the best approach for your budget and style preferences.
Q6. What types of fencing can you install?
We install all common fence types including closeboard (featherboard), traditional panel fencing, picket fences, post and rail, trellis panels, and composite fencing. We use quality timber and concrete posts for durability. Our fencing service includes removing old fences, setting posts in concrete, fitting gravel boards, and installing panels or boards. We can also fit matching gates and repair existing fencing.Our availability varies depending on our current workload and the size of your project. For smaller jobs like door fitting or shelving, we can often schedule within a couple of weeks. Larger projects may be booked a few months in advance. We always try to accommodate urgent work where possible. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we’ll do our best to meet your needs.
Q7. Can you build custom storage solutions for awkward spaces?
This is one of our specialities. We design and build bespoke storage for alcoves, under-stairs areas, sloping ceilings, and other challenging spaces. Our custom solutions include fitted wardrobes, shelving systems, home office setups, media units, and utility storage. We’ll measure your space precisely, discuss your storage needs, and create something that maximises every inch while complementing your home’s style.
Q8. How do your bespoke fitted wardrobes compare to high-street options?
Our bespoke wardrobes offer several advantages over high-street alternatives. They’re made to measure, fitting your space perfectly rather than leaving gaps or wasted space. You choose the exact configuration of shelves, hanging rails, and drawers to suit your needs. The quality of construction and materials is typically superior, meaning they last longer. They’re fitted by us rather than flat-pack assembly. While initially more expensive than basic options, they add genuine value to your property and provide a premium finish that off-the-shelf can’t match.
