West Midlands is a county of Victorian back-to-back terraces, vast interwar semi estates and 1960s tower blocks. 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
Every fitted home office we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in West Midlands, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
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
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.

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 West Midlands — common questions
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.
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.
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.
