Monmouthshire is a county of stone farmhouses, Georgian market-town houses and generous rural plots. 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
We build hardwood worktops as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Monmouthshire address.
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
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Hardwood Worktops in Monmouthshire — common questions
Will it mark?
Yes, and it will develop a patina. That is the trade-off for a surface you can repair rather than replace. If unmarked is the requirement, timber is the wrong material.
How are joints made?
Dry-jointed with connectors so the timber can move, not glued solid. A glued butt joint across the grain in a kitchen will open.
Solid or staved?
Staved — narrow strips glued up — is more stable and far less likely to cup than a wide solid board. Full-stave gives a longer, cleaner grain line; narrow stave is more economical.
Can I have a sink cut into it?
Yes. Undermount needs the cut edge sealing very thoroughly — that edge is the most common failure point on any timber top. We seal it before the sink goes anywhere near it.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
