Carpentry and joinery twelve miles from Chippenham
Chippenham is twelve miles from the workshop, which makes it ordinary working distance rather than a job we travel for. Corsham, Calne, Box, Lacock and the villages between are all in the same bracket, and Melksham sits directly on the route.
The business is Alex Palmer, working on his own. That is worth saying plainly, because it decides what the service is like: quoting takes longer, booking takes longer, and the person who priced the job is the person who does it and the person you ring if something is wrong six months later. For quality of finish it is the better arrangement. For getting three rooms done next week it is not.
Work covers bespoke carpentry and joinery for homes and property renovations across north Wiltshire — fitted furniture, staircases, doors and general building carpentry.
Services
Carpentry services we offer in Chippenham
Kitchen fitting
Kitchen creation and installation, from a single run of units to a full fit-out with worktops scribed to the wall. Fitted kitchens

Extension first and second fix
Structural timber, floors, roof carpentry and studwork on the first fix; doors, skirting, architrave and finishing joinery on the second.
Garden offices and garden rooms

Alex delivered a bit of an unconventional project for us, conversion of a vintage horse box trailer to a home office. I'm delighted with the result. Alex is enthusiastic, creative, and skilfull. He worked hard to achieve a high quality outcome. Highly recommended.
5 out of 5
Awesome work from Alex, great attention to detail, thorough in getting the job done, and he cleaned up after himself as well - wouldn't hesitate to recommend (fitted architrave and skirting around our three bed bungalow)

Had wooden back gate made by Alex for side of property. Excellent craftsmanship and quality gate made of high grade materials fixtures and fittings as required to make it very secure.
Questions
Carpentry in Chippenham — common questions
Are you based in Chippenham?
No — and we would rather say so. The workshop is at 6 Court Street, Trowbridge, twelve miles south. Chippenham, Corsham, Calne and the surrounding villages are all inside our normal working radius and we are there regularly, but if you want a carpenter who lives on your street, we are not it.
What carpentry work do you do in Chippenham?
Fitted wardrobes and storage, kitchen fitting, staircases and balustrades, doors, skirting and architrave, loft conversion carpentry, extension first and second fix, and repairs to windows, gates and period joinery.
Do you charge for a quote in Chippenham?
No. We come and look at the job, talk it through and put a written estimate in writing. There is no charge and no obligation, and we would rather tell you a job is not worth doing than sell you one that is not.
