Carpentry · Norwich & Norfolk
Alcove shelving, stud walls, doors and second-fix joinery, with cable routes and sockets designed in, not chased in afterwards.
What we do
Carpentry is what makes a room look finished rather than nearly finished: tight joints, straight lines, and work scribed to walls and floors that are rarely as true as anyone would like.
Because we're electricians as well as carpenters, first fix happens at the right moment. Sockets, switches and lighting inside joinery or a new partition are designed in with you before the boards go on, not chased in afterwards.
Second fix joinery, shelving, flooring, trim and timber repairs across the whole house.
Timber stud partitions built, insulated, boarded and wired, including doorways and openings.
Internal, external and fire doors hung, with ironmongery, linings and adjustment to out-of-square openings.

No hidden extras
If anything changes once work begins, we'll explain it and agree the cost with you before going any further.
Local expertise
Period property across Norwich brings its own carpentry challenges: deep Victorian skirting profiles, original doors painted a dozen times over, floors that move and openings that have shifted over a century. Matching existing mouldings rather than defaulting to a modern profile is usually what makes new work disappear into an old house.

Start to finish
Planning, ordering, creation and completion, all handled by Acorn, with one point of contact from the first visit to the final sign-off.
We visit, listen and talk through the options that suit your home and budget, then confirm everything in a free, written quote. Projects over £500 take a 50% deposit, with the balance on completion.
We source and order the materials, units and fittings, and arrange deliveries around the programme, so you're never left chasing suppliers. Already chosen your own? We're happy to fit them.
The work itself, carried out carefully and tidily by one team for the electrics, fitting and finishing. You'll know who is coming and what's happening each day.
Electrical work tested and certified, every detail checked, and the space cleaned and handed back only when you're happy. Afterwards, you'll still speak to the same person who did the job.

Common questions
Need a more specific answer? Call Phillip and you'll speak to the person doing the work.
Yes. A morning's work is fine. Plenty of our jobs are a handful of small tasks tackled in one visit, which usually works out cheaper than booking them separately.
Usually. Many period profiles are available as stock or can be machined to match. If an exact match isn't possible we'll show you the closest options before ordering.
A simple non-structural partition often doesn't, but creating a new habitable room, or affecting escape routes, ventilation or fire separation, can. We'll flag it if we think your project needs it. We won't quietly build something that should have been notified.
Yes, provided the framing includes noggins or a pattress in the right place. Tell us what's going on the wall before we frame it and it's straightforward.
A straightforward internal door on existing hinges is often an hour or two. A door into an out-of-square opening, or one needing a new lining and architrave, takes considerably longer. The quote will reflect which yours is.
Yes. Just check they're the right size for the opening. If you're unsure, send us the measurements before ordering: oversized doors are far easier to work with than undersized ones.
