Suffolk is a county of timber-framed and colour-washed cottages with strict conservation controls. That is exactly the kind of building stock a stallriser 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
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For stallrisers in Suffolk we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
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
Stallrisers in Suffolk — common questions
Can a stallriser be repaired in sections?
Yes, and it usually is. The panel nearest the door goes first. We replace panels within the existing frame where the frame is sound.
Can you match a fielded panel profile?
Yes, from a gauge taken off the original. Fielded, flat and bolection panels all read differently and it is obvious when the wrong one is used.
How is it finished?
All faces sealed, including the back and the bottom edge, before it goes near the wall. The bottom edge is the one everyone forgets and the one that fails.
How tall should it be?
Usually 450 to 750mm. Too low and the glass takes the damage; too high and the display disappears from view. On a parade we generally match the neighbours so the run reads evenly.
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.
