Looking for a proper carpenter in Loughborough? I'm Alex, a carpenter by trade with 10 years on the tools, based in the Soar Valley just outside town. From a door that's dropped on its hinges to a full run of fitted shelving, you're getting someone who works with wood for a living, not just a bloke with a drill.
Most of my carpentry work comes from recommendations around Loughborough, East Leake and the villages: hanging and easing doors, replacing skirting and architrave, building alcove units and wardrobes, boxing-in, timber repairs and made-to-measure pieces you simply can't buy off the shelf.
Carpentry jobs I do in Loughborough
- Doors hung, eased & adjusted
- Skirting, architrave & window boards
- Fitted shelving, alcove units & wardrobes
- Timber repairs & replacements
- Bespoke made-to-measure joinery
- Laminate & wood flooring
A few of the jobs people ask for most, with more detail and photos on each page:
Fitted-look wardrobes. Good flat-pack wardrobes with carpenter-built shelving units and trim, so they look built in for a fraction of a fully bespoke price.
Bespoke shelving. Shelves and alcove units made to measure from plywood and solid timber, then fixed properly so they don't sag or pull out of the wall.
Slat wall panelling and acoustic panels. Fitted straight and tight to the ceiling and skirting, and neatly cut around sockets and door frames.
Gazebos, pergolas and garden structures. Designed and hand-built in timber to your sketch.
Balustrade restoration. Careful stripping back and repainting of tired balustrades and parapets.
Flat-pack assembly. Built and fixed safely, with the fiddly bits done properly.

Common questions
How much does a carpenter cost in Loughborough?
My rates start from £35 per hour with a one-hour minimum, or a fixed price for bigger jobs. Quotes are always free and there's no call-out charge.
Do you do small carpentry jobs?
Yes — no job is too small. A single door, one shelf, a squeaky floorboard. Small jobs are the backbone of what I do.
What areas do you cover?
Loughborough and roughly 10 miles around it: Shepshed, Quorn, Barrow upon Soar, Sileby, East Leake, Kegworth and the surrounding villages.
Can you build something to my own measurements?
Yes. Shelving, alcove units, storage and outdoor structures are made to measure from plywood and solid timber, so they fit your space rather than a standard size. Send me a photo and rough measurements and I'll price it.
Can you make flat-pack wardrobes look fitted?
Yes. I build shelving units and trim around good flat-pack wardrobes so they look built in, usually for far less than a fully bespoke fitted wardrobe. There are photos on my fitted wardrobes page.
How do I get a carpentry quote?
Call or WhatsApp 07949 380457 with a photo of the job. I reply to everything, usually the same day. Quotes are free and there's no call-out charge.
