Carpentry and bespoke joinery in Essex. Custom doors, storage and the timber details that bring a home together.

Custom-made arched timber door and frame by Dovetail Artisans

From a small detail to a wider project

A well-fitted door, considered storage or carefully finished timber can change how a home feels. Nicholas Dryhurst is a carpenter and joiner, and Dovetail Artisans takes enquiries for both bespoke work and general carpentry. Explain what you need, rather than worrying about the right trade description.

Joinery with an individual character

The work shared by Dovetail Artisans includes a handmade arched door and frame, kitchen cabinetry, under-stair drawers and timber panelling. Bespoke work makes it possible to consider the proportions and character of a particular space instead of treating every room in the same way.

Practical improvements around the home

Doors, flooring, staircase renovation and storage solutions are all included in the services listed in the bespoke enquiry form. A smaller carpentry job and a room-wide design project will need different information and planning. A few clear photographs and a description of the result you want are useful first steps for either.

Planning something more involved?

Dovetail Artisans also welcomes enquiries about other bespoke spaces. If your idea involves a garden room, conversion or a wider alteration, describe the overall project and any drawings you already have. Scope, suitability and any specialist work should be established before plans or prices are agreed.

Before we begin.

Do you take on general carpentry?

Yes. General carpentry, such as doors or flooring, is included in the Dovetail Artisans enquiry services. Contact Nicholas to discuss the work and availability.

Do you make custom doors?

Dovetail Artisans has shared a handmade solid arched door and frame. Send your dimensions and ideas to discuss a made-to-order door.

Can I ask about staircase renovation?

Yes. Staircase renovation is listed among the services open to enquiries. Photos and a description of the changes you have in mind will help establish the scope.

Every good project
starts with a conversation.

A new kitchen, a useful corner, a piece you have imagined for years. Tell Nicholas a little about your space, your ideas and what you would love to create.
