One craftsman. Twenty years of precision joinery, bespoke kitchens, and fitted furniture — made to measure for your home.
From the first measurement to the final coat of wax — every detail is mine to own. I never sub-contract.
Shaker, handleless, in-frame — designed around your space and fitted to a standard you can only get from one person who genuinely cares.
Discuss your kitchenFloor-to-ceiling, corner units, dressing rooms — built to maximise every inch and finished so well you'd think they were always there.
Discuss your wardrobesBathrooms, alcoves, hallways, home libraries — skilled joinery that transforms awkward spaces into the best rooms in the house.
Discuss your projectStaircases, garden rooms, under-stair storage, shelving — if it can be built from wood and made to last, I can make it exactly as you imagined.
Discuss your ideaThere’s a real difference between hiring a company and hiring the craftsman himself. Here’s what that means for you.
No salespeople, no handover to a fitter you’ve never met. I come to your home, I take the measurements, I make it, I fit it. If something changes, you hear it from me — not through a chain of people.
A sole trader lives and works by reputation. I’ve been doing this since 2003 in and around Norwich — the same area, the same community. There’s no hiding behind a company name. Every job is a reference.
You’re not paying for a showroom, a sales team, or a marketing department. The price you get is for the materials, the time, and the skill — nothing else bolted on.
Not twenty years of the business — twenty years of me, personally, building kitchens, fitting wardrobes, and solving problems in homes across Norfolk. That kind of experience doesn’t come from a brochure.
When you’re the only person on the job, the only way to protect your reputation is to get it right. I’m not moving on to the next crew somewhere else — I’m here until the door closes flush and the drawer runs smooth.
One phone number. One email. You talk to me. If there’s a question about the job, a decision to make, or a problem to sort — you reach the person who can actually answer it.

"I treat every project like it's going in my own home. Square joints, plumb lines, no shortcuts."
R. Plane Carpenter has been quietly building beautiful things across Norfolk since 2003. I measure, I make, I fit. The same pair of hands from the first conversation to the final coat of wax — no sub-contractors, no strangers in your home.
I work with homeowners and interior designers who care about the details most people never notice. The kind of people who know the difference between furniture that's bought and furniture that's made.
No-obligation conversations, anywhere in Norwich and surrounding areas. I usually reply the same day.
