All Things Wood
From small, straightforward jobs like putting up shelves, to larger projects like fitting new staircases or building bespoke storage - if it involves wood, Maple Tree Carpentry can help. With over 12 years of hands-on experience, we offer a broad range of general carpentry services across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.
What We Cover
General carpentry is the core of what we do. We can supply and fit, or fit only, most wooden fixtures, including but not limited to:
- Skirting and architrave - supply and fit to match your existing style or create a fresh new look throughout your home
- Stairs and staircases - complete staircase installations, refurbishments, new balustrades and spindle replacements
- Stud work - timber-framed partition walls for room divisions, including insulation and plasterboard ready for decoration
- Shelving and storage - alcove shelving, floating shelves, built-in bookcases and custom storage solutions
- Doors - internal and external door fitting and replacement (see our dedicated door fitting page for more detail)
- Kitchens - full kitchen fitting services (see our kitchen fitting page)
- Solid wood flooring - beautiful, durable flooring solutions
- Boxing and cladding - neatly concealing pipework, cables and structural elements
- Bespoke joinery - one-off pieces made to your specifications
No two homes are the same, and that’s what makes general carpentry so varied. One day we might be fitting skirting boards in a new-build in Bracknell, the next we’re refurbishing a staircase in a period property in Wokingham. We enjoy the variety, and we bring the same level of care to every job regardless of size.
Our Approach
We believe in doing things properly. That means accurate measuring, clean cuts, tight joints and a finish you can be proud of. We always take the time to understand what you want before we start, and we’re happy to offer advice on materials, styles and what will work best in your space.
Whether it’s matching new skirting to an existing Victorian profile or recommending the right timber for a particular application, our experience means we can guide you through the options and help you make informed decisions.
We work tidily, respect your home and always clean up at the end of each day. If a job requires other trades - plastering, electrics or decoration - we can coordinate with trusted local professionals to keep everything running smoothly.
Residential and Commercial
We work with both homeowners and business customers. Our commercial carpentry work has included office fit-outs, shop refurbishments and property maintenance contracts. Whatever the scale of your project, we’re happy to provide a detailed, written quote before any work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does general carpentry cost?
The cost depends entirely on the scope of the work. A small job like fitting a set of shelves will naturally cost less than a full staircase refurbishment. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all projects, so the best way to get an accurate price is to get in touch and tell us what you need. We’ll visit your home in Wokingham or the surrounding area, take measurements and give you a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.
How long does a carpentry job take?
Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Simple tasks like fitting skirting boards in a single room can often be completed in a day, while larger projects such as staircase installations or bespoke storage solutions may take several days. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe before we start so you know what to expect.
Do you supply materials or should I buy my own?
We’re happy to do either. We can supply and fit, sourcing quality materials at trade prices, or we can work with materials you’ve already purchased. If you’re unsure what to buy, we’re always glad to advise on the right timber, fixings and finishes for your particular project.
Do I need to be home while the work is carried out?
Many of our customers across Berkshire are happy to leave us a key and let us get on with the job. We’re fully insured, and we always treat your home with respect - working tidily and cleaning up at the end of each day. Of course, you’re also welcome to be around if you prefer.
