Ceredigion is a county of colour-washed coastal terraces and remote stone farmhouses. That is exactly the kind of building stock a run of hardwood worktop has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
A run of hardwood worktop is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Ceredigion in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Hardwood Worktops in Ceredigion — common questions
How do I look after it?
Oil it. Frequently at first, then a couple of times a year. An oiled top can be sanded and re-oiled locally, which is why marks are not permanent the way they are on a lacquered top.
Do you template on site?
Yes. Walls are not square and a worktop scribed to a stated dimension will not fit. We template after the units are in, not before.
Can you match an existing run?
If the species and the stave width match, yes — though timber darkens with age and a new section will be lighter for the first year or two.
Which timber for a kitchen worktop?
Oak and iroko are the usual choices. Iroko has natural oils that suit areas near water. Walnut for a darker top, though it is softer and marks more readily.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
Yes. We take a profile of the existing skirting, architrave or door and either match it from stock cutters or have a cutter ground so the new work runs identically. Matching an old paint colour is straightforward; matching aged oak takes a sample panel and a couple of attempts, which we build into the programme.
