Flintshire is a county of brick and rendered village housing with extensive modern development. 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
Walls in Flintshire are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A run of hardwood worktop that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Worktops in Flintshire — common questions
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.
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.
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.
