Garden Fencing in Melton That Lasts

Orwell Carpentry, a carpentry and building company based in Ipswich, covers fencing and decking in Melton and elsewhere in Suffolk, Essex home renovation in Kesgrave and the surrounding areas. Orwell Carpentry installs fencing, including new fencing round front and back gardens. A fence usually fails at the posts, where the timber meets the ground.

What makes a fence last?

Orwell Carpentry installs fencing, including new fencing round the perimeter of front and back gardens. Options range from the plainly sturdy to the more stylish. The consultation is free.

Rot starts where the post enters the ground, because that is where it stays damp. Treated posts and a base that drains well matter more than anything else. A panel is easy to replace, a post much less so.

Can you fit internal doors yourself?

Yes, if you are confident with a plane and a chisel. The hard parts are an even gap all round, clean copyright recesses and a latch that lines up, and a door trimmed too far cannot be put back. If you would rather not, Orwell Carpentry will fit doors you have already bought on a labour only estimate.

Who takes on small carpentry jobs in Melton?

Orwell Carpentry takes on small scale woodwork repairs as well as larger projects, with repair and restoration of worn or damaged woodwork. A door to hang, a staircase to refurbish or an understairs cupboard to build are typical.

Rot found early can usually be cut back and a new piece let in. Ignored, it travels, and a small repair turns into a new frame. Older joinery is often better timber than its modern replacement, which is a good reason to keep it.

What is a media wall?

A media wall is a framed wall built out from the original, holding the screen, the cabling and often storage and lighting. Media walls and cinema rooms are Orwell Carpentry work, with the TV set into the wall as long as an air gap is left round it.

Power points and lights nearly always change as part of one, and Orwell Carpentry works closely with local electrical subcontractors for that part. You see the layout as a site sketch and then a CAD drawing first.
