Leicestershire is a county of slate-roofed brick terraces, ironstone villages and substantial new development. That is exactly the kind of building stock a utility room 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
A utility room is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Leicestershire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
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
Utility Rooms in Leicestershire — common questions
What height should the appliance housing be?
Standard 900mm worktop height, with the machines under. Raising them 300mm on a plinth saves your back and is popular, but you lose the worktop run above them.
How much space does a utility actually need?
A 1,800mm run against one wall houses two machines, a sink and a small worktop. That is the realistic minimum for it to be worth doing.
What worktop suits a utility?
Laminate or quartz. Timber will suffer around a sink and behind a washing machine where it gets repeated splashes and steam.
Can I dry clothes in there?
Yes, with a ceiling-mounted airer or a pull-down rail, and an extract fan on a humidistat. Drying clothes in a sealed room is how you get mould on the ceiling.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
