Shropshire is a county of timber-framed and brick town houses, stone cottages and scattered rural farmsteads. 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
We build utility rooms as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Shropshire 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.

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 Shropshire — common questions
Can a washing machine and dryer be stacked?
Yes, with a proper stacking kit rather than one simply sitting on the other. Stacking frees a full 600mm bay, and we build the housing with a pull-out shelf between them for folding.
How do you deal with the noise?
Mass and isolation. A closed carcass around the appliances with an 18mm back, plus anti-vibration feet, makes a noticeable difference. Do not seal it completely — a condenser dryer needs air.
Do I need a separate sink?
It is the most-missed item in a utility. A deep single bowl for handwashing, mop buckets and muddy kit is worth losing a base unit for.
Can a utility double as a boot room?
Very commonly, yes. Add a bench, hooks and open shoe storage at one end and it does both jobs. Keep the wet trades — sink, machines — at the other end.
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.
