What to Expect
Once you've booked, our Customer Services Manager, Camilla, will be in touch to arrange a time to visit. We will also give you an idea of costs.
During your visit:
-
Walkthrough & Ideas
Alastair will start by visiting the space and talking through your ideas, needs, and any practical considerations (TV/audio equipment, storage, display, awkward corners, etc.).
-
Measurements & Drawing
He’ll then take precise measurements and create a live 3D design using SketchUp and CabinetSense software. This usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. You don’t need to stay in the room, but access to WiFi is helpful.
-
Design Review
We’ll then sit down together and view your furniture in 3D on the laptop. You can adjust widths, styles, colours, shelves, and more - all live. CabinetSense also allows us to instantly apply finishes like Farrow & Ball paints, popular veneers, melamines, door styles and handles - so you can clearly visualise how everything will look in your space.
-
Follow-Up
After the visit, you’ll receive an email with your design presentation, a detailed specification, and a final quote.
Alastair shares his design visit process with other bespoke carpenters.
Why It’s Worth It
We believe it’s essential to understand exactly what you’re getting. With this visit, you’re not just handed a quote - you’re part of the design process. You’ll see your furniture in your actual room layout, and can explore materials, colours and finishes together.
Alastair’s years of drawing Sheffield houses (and their quirks) means he can quickly capture your space with surprising accuracy - sloping ceilings, unusual alcoves, ornate mouldings and all.
Make the Most of Your Visit
Before Alastair arrives, it helps to give some thought to:
-
Colour: We can match any colour from any paint brand.
-
Handles & Finishes: Take a look at our selection, or bring ideas with you. We work with a range of trusted suppliers.
The visit typically takes 2 hours, but can run to 3 hours for more complex spaces. Just let us know if you have limited time.
