Vale of Glamorgan is a county of limestone cottages, Victorian seaside villas and substantial modern estates. 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
We build stallrisers as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Vale of Glamorgan address.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
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.

Straight answers
Stallrisers in Vale of Glamorgan — common questions
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 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.
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.
