Fitted wardrobes and carpentry in Queensbury
Bespoke fitted wardrobes, fitted furniture and made-to-measure joinery in Queensbury and HA8, HA3.
The houses in Queensbury
Queensbury was laid out around the station that opened in 1934, so nearly all of it is 1930s semis and the parades that went up with them, with some postwar infill.
Standard 1930s bedrooms, which means the alcoves either side of the chimney breast and a ceiling height worth using. Going full height to the ceiling adds a shelf's worth of storage that almost nobody has.
The suburb is younger than the houses around it suggest, built in a few years either side of the station opening.
That is the point of building rather than buying. A wardrobe made for the room goes to the ceiling, into the alcove and up to the skirting, and the awkward bits of the house become storage instead of dead air.

Built for the room, not bought for it
Every job starts the same way: someone comes out, measures the room as it really is, and prices the work. Walls are never quite straight and floors are never quite level, so the parts are made to suit what is actually there and scribed in on site.
That is the difference between a wardrobe that fits a Queensbury bedroom and one that fits a catalogue.

I cannot praise Max the owner of Barraclough Carpentry enough.
Max’s work is of the highest quality. His courteous manner, skill, expertise and professionalism was very impressive.
Clear communication throughout the works and was very punctual on arrival times and cleared and tidied up each day before leaving.
If anyone requires carpentry works to be undertaken, look no further, Max is your man.
Queensbury questions
Do you cover all of Queensbury?
Yes, the whole of HA8, HA3 and the streets around it. Travel is included in the price, so there is no mileage charge wherever in the area you are.
Do the wardrobes need painting?
Mostly not. What we fit is usually MFC, which arrives already finished in the colour you picked, so there is nothing to paint and nothing to re-coat later. If a job is built out of MDF and you want it painted, we bring a painter in.
Will the house be full of dust?
There is no such thing as no dust, but there is a lot of difference between a tidy job and a messy one. We sheet up, cut in one place where we can, and clear the room at the end of every day.
Do you work on flats in Queensbury as well as houses?
Yes. Flats are often where a fitted wardrobe earns its keep the most, because the rooms are the most awkward and there is the least floor to spare.
