Northamptonshire is a county of ironstone villages, Victorian boot-and-shoe terraces and large new settlements. 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
Walls in Northamptonshire are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A fitted home office 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
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
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.

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 Northamptonshire — common questions
Should the desk be at standard height?
740mm to 750mm suits most people in a normal chair. If you want a sit-stand position, we build the run around a proprietary electric frame rather than making the top fixed.
What lighting works for a home office?
Light from the side rather than behind or in front, plus a task lamp. A window directly behind the screen causes glare; directly in front causes silhouetting on video calls.
Can it be closed away when not in use?
Yes — bifold or pocket doors over the whole run turn it back into a cupboard at the end of the day. It is the single most requested feature in home office work now.
Can two people work in the same run?
Yes, with 1,400mm per person as a working minimum. Facing each other across a shared worktop needs a monitor screen between or you will spend the day looking at each other.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
