Hampshire is a county of Georgian naval-town housing, thatched village cottages and extensive modern estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a fitted home office 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 home offices & studies as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Hampshire 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
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.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Home Offices & Studies in Hampshire — common questions
Can you build in a printer and filing?
Yes. A pull-out shelf for the printer at low level is much better than a fixed shelf — it lets you reach the back for paper jams. Filing is usually a two-drawer bank under the desk on full-extension runners.
Can an office fit into an alcove or a landing?
Frequently. A 1,200mm alcove takes a full workstation with shelving above, and a landing return can take a desk under a window. Both are much better than a table in a corner of a bedroom.
How deep should a built-in desk be?
700mm minimum for a monitor at a comfortable distance. 600mm works for a laptop only. Less than 600mm and you will end up sitting too close to the screen.
How do you manage the cables?
A cable tray under the full length of the desk, grommets at each workstation, and a single ventilated cupboard for the router, hub and power. Done once at build stage it stays tidy permanently.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
