Bespoke / made to measure bookcases & media walls

I can design, make and fit a bookcase to suit any room from the fluted, corniced  details of a Regency town house to the more simple contemporary lines of the example shown here.

​

This one, which can be seen below in the "raw" with its secret door opening is made from 6mm, 18mm and 25mm MDF I  supply them in the raw to be decorated.

 

I can also make made to measure bookcases in veneered MDF or solid timber.

"Paul built a brilliant set of floor to ceiling bookshelves for us, with 'secret' door through to downstairs toilet. Despite disruption caused by lockdown, it came together perfectly and we're delighted with the results."

Made to measure bookcase in Abingdon

Two bookcases in 18mm MDF with 25mm shelves (the green MDF is moisture resistant). Due to an un even floor (in a newbuild home) these had to be scribed to the floor.

This as you can see was a bookcase designed to fit around an existing window all in 18mm MDF apart from the shelves which are 25mm and adjustable.

The cornice cut around the existing coving and electrical and data sockets cut into the back at low level.

In most cases the walls which cabinets abutt are never straight. I use a 50mm filler piece as can be seen opposite which is scribed to the wall and around any skirting boards.

If there is a socket behind a side or back of a cabinet I can pull it through and remount inside the cabinet

Work in progress on this three bay full height bookcase with cupboards underneath.

The back in 6mm pressed MDF to give the look of tongue and groove panneling.

The front to have "Art Deco" style lighting hence the cables showing.

Two bookcases that face each other in the same room, one 2.4m wide and the other  3.2m. The customer was not sure about the rounded section so we designed it together using templates. The top of cupboards and semi circular shelves in oak veneered MDF
