Joinery That Elevates Every Interior
Bespoke joinery is the defining element that separates a truly premium interior from a standard fit-out. At Effingham Construction, our in-house joiners design, manufacture, and install custom joinery to the exacting standards demanded by London's most discerning landlords, developers, and homeowners.
Because we carry our joinery capability in-house — rather than subcontracting to third parties — we maintain complete control over quality, lead times, and coordination with other trades on site. The result is joinery that fits perfectly, finishes beautifully, and is delivered on programme.
Our joinery team works across the full spectrum of residential and commercial projects, from a single fitted wardrobe in a Kensington apartment to a complete architectural joinery programme across a multi-unit residential block.

- No subcontractor markup — direct cost savings passed to you
- Fully coordinated with other trades on site
- Period property specialists — listed buildings and conservation areas

- Integrated into wider refurbishment programmes for seamless delivery

Bespoke Joinery FAQs
Do you design as well as manufacture and install bespoke joinery?
Yes. Our in-house design team works with you from initial concept through to detailed drawings, material selection, and final installation. We can work from your own architect's drawings or develop a design from scratch based on your brief and budget.
What timber species and board materials do you work with?
We work across the full range of solid hardwoods (oak, walnut, ash, tulipwood), painted MDF and HDF, lacquered birch ply, and veneered board materials. We can match existing joinery profiles in period properties or specify contemporary materials for modern schemes.
Can you match existing period joinery in a listed building or conservation area?
Yes. We have extensive experience working in listed buildings and conservation areas across prime central London. We can replicate existing moulding profiles, match timber species, and use traditional joinery techniques where required by planning conditions or listed building consent.
How long does bespoke joinery take from order to installation?
Lead times depend on the complexity and volume of the commission. A standard fitted wardrobe or media wall typically has a 4–6 week lead time from design sign-off to installation. Larger architectural joinery programmes are programmed as part of the overall refurbishment schedule.
Do you install joinery as part of a wider refurbishment project?
Yes. Bespoke joinery is most commonly delivered as an integrated element of a wider apartment refurbishment project. Our joiners work alongside our other in-house trades — electricians, plasterers, and decorators — to ensure seamless coordination and a perfect finish.
