How It Works For Trade
1. Design It In The Room

Sit down with your customer and design it live - sloped ceilings, tight alcoves, compound angles, our design tool works out the geometry and cut list automatically.

2. Quote On The Spot

No back-and-forth, no waiting on a quote. Price it there and then, and close the job in one visit.

3. We Manufacture It

Every panel arrives cut to size and drilled, ready to assemble. No workshop time, no wasted stock, no offcuts.

4. You Assemble, Fit & Get Paid

That's your skilled labour - you assemble, fit, and finish it on site, and your customer pays you for the job.

Limited Only By Your Imagination

Our furniture system is built to be adaptable to any space - it is whatever you need it to be, from wide and tall units to maximize your storage to compact or even sloped units to fill awkward spaces.

So if you're unsure, or have a tricky project, please get in touch and we can create a bespoke solution for you.

Measuring Guide
The Core Idea

Whatever dimension you type into a field is the whole, finished size of that section - not a door size, not an internal size. We calculate the individual door sizes, internal widths, and everything else from that total automatically.

A dimension entered on a cupboard section is the whole finished size - door widths are calculated from it automatically
Wall-To-Wall (Fitted) Units

If a unit runs wall to wall, it will normally have trim panels (infill panels) down each side, this is your tolerance - 50mm by default, though you can set a different figure if you prefer.

  • The 50mm is what we expect the trim to end up being. Trims are supplied oversized and cut down to fit on site, so if your measuring is slightly off, the trim simply ends up a bit bigger or smaller.
  • Measure wall to wall, ignoring skirting boards - unless they're unusually large, or you're using a small tolerance.

Freestanding Units

If a unit is freestanding, it has its own end panels (and feet). Enter the exact overall size you need - that's the whole bounding box: end panels, feet, everything included.

  • No tolerance is added automatically - you're telling us the size, so we build to that size.
  • If you're placing it into a tight space, it's on you to calculate the clearance and enter a slightly smaller size to allow for it.

Floor To Ceiling (Or Not)

Going to the ceiling works the same as wall to wall, just vertically: set a tolerance (50mm default, recommended) and measure the full floor-to-ceiling height. A top trim absorbs the difference. If you're not going to the ceiling, there's no top trim - enter the exact height you want the top of the unit to be.

Going to the ceiling uses a top trim to absorb the tolerance; not going to the ceiling uses the exact height entered
Skirting Boards & Obstacles

Generally, ignore skirting boards. It only matters if the skirting is deep enough to reach into the tolerance zone. If so:

  1. Use a bigger tolerance.
  2. Keep the default tolerance, but measure extra carefully - your true working tolerance is smaller.
  3. Remove a section of skirting.
  4. Design around it. If unsure, get in touch and we'll help.
If deep skirting reaches into the tolerance zone, use a bigger tolerance, measure more carefully, remove the skirting, or design around it

Fitted Vs Freestanding

Fitted

The major difference with fitted furniture is that we provide infill panels to fill the gap between the furniture and the wall. These panels come oversized in case your measurements are not precise or your walls are not perfectly straight. Which means you get a perfect fit, but it does require some cutting.

Freestanding

With freestanding, you get exactly the same made-to-measure furniture, but we finish it with end panels, no cutting required. You should measure skirting to skirting and then take off 2-10cm for tollerance. This leaves a small "shadow gap" at the sides and top, but it also means no cutting is required.

Functionally, the product is the same, but the installation is different.
