Make the most of the alcoves
Most living rooms have two recesses beside the chimney breast that end up as dead space. Built-in units turn them into storage and display that look like they’ve always been there. I scribe each one to the walls, so there are no gaps, even in old cottages.
What I can build for you
- Alcove cupboards and shelving · cupboards below, open shelves above, made for each recess
- Media walls and TV units · a whole wall with the TV, speakers and cables hidden away
- Built-in bookcases · floor to ceiling, around doors and windows
- Window seats · with drawers or lift-up storage underneath
- Home office alcoves · a desk and shelving that tidies away

Questions about alcove units
How much do alcove units cost?
Most projects start from £2,500. A pair of alcove cupboards with shelves sits at the lower end; a full media wall costs more. I’ll send you a clear written quote after measuring up.
Can you fit units to uneven walls?
Yes. Everything is scribed to the walls, chimney breast and ceiling, so there are no gaps or filler strips.
Can you hide the TV cables?
Yes. Media walls are planned around your TV and kit, with cables run out of sight.
How long does it take?
About six weeks once making begins. A deposit secures your place in my production schedule, and we agree the fitting date together.
Which areas do you cover?
All over Cornwall and the South West. I’m often in Falmouth, St Mawes, Fowey, Rock, Padstow, Newquay, St Agnes, St Ives, Carbis Bay, Marazion and Mousehole. Areas I cover →
