How we work
If you like what you see on our website or socials and think you’d like to work with us, drop us a message. We’ll ask you for some initial information that will help us to give you an indicative cost, including a photograph of the space and approximate dimensions of the piece you’re hoping to create. This is also an opportunity for you to provide ideas and any inspiration pictures you’ve found when doing your research.
If you’re happy to proceed based on the estimated price, we’ll arrange a face-to-face visit where we’ll discuss the project in more detail and take exact measurements to enable us to finalise the quote. All prices include spray finishing & installation. To proceed, we’ll ask you to secure your commission with a 25% deposit, and we’ll get to work on the planning process. This will include providing you with an idea of timescales and draft drawings to help you to visualise the final result, which can be amended at no additional charge. Prior to the build in our workshop, we’ll contact you to finalise the design and make any adjustments, confirming smaller details including paint colours, handles, finish etc and taking further measurements if required. At this point, we also ask for a further instalment of 25% of the total price, with the remainder due on completion of the project. Larger, more detailed projects may be completed in phases, requiring adjustment to the payment schedule, but this will be determined and agreed during the project consultation.
For installation, we require a parking space outside and clear access throughout the property. Most building work is completed in our workshop, minimising disruption to your home. Naturally, the installation may generate some dust, but we use a trade-quality dust extraction hoover to leave your home tidy when the project is complete.
