General Carpentry & Home Improvements
Practical Carpentry, Repairs & Improvements for Homes and Workplaces
From hanging doors and fitting skirting boards to creating useful storage and making practical improvements around your property, CDI Contractors provides reliable carpentry services across Norfolk, Suffolk and the Cambridgeshire border areas.
With decades of hands-on trade experience, Trevor can help with the smaller details that make a difference, as well as more involved carpentry and improvement projects.
Practical improvements that make a difference
Not every home improvement involves a complete refurbishment. Sometimes it's the jobs that have been waiting on the to-do list, or those awkward spaces that aren't being used particularly well, that make the biggest difference to how a property looks and functions.
CDI Contractors undertakes a range of general carpentry, repairs and finishing work for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Whether it's replacing and hanging internal doors, adding shelving, improving storage or completing the finishing touches to a room, we focus on practical solutions and careful workmanship.
How can we help?
Internal Doors & Fittings
Hanging and replacing internal doors, fitting handles, hinges, latches and associated door furniture.
Skirting Boards & Architraves
Installing and replacing skirting boards, architraves and timber trim for a neat, finished appearance.
Shelving & Storage
Practical shelving, cupboards and storage improvements designed around the space available.
Boxing-In & Finishing
Neat boxing-in for exposed pipework and other practical carpentry finishes around the home or workplace.
Carpentry Repairs
Repairs and replacements to existing timber fittings, doors, frames and other general carpentry elements.
Home & Workplace Improvements
Practical carpentry alterations and finishing work as part of planned room improvements or property upgrades.
It's often the finishing touches
that matter
Doors that no longer fit properly, damaged skirting boards or missing architraves can make an otherwise well-maintained room feel unfinished.
CDI Contractors can help with hanging and replacing internal doors, fitting door furniture, installing skirting and architraves, and completing practical carpentry improvements that bring a room together.
Whether you're refreshing an existing room or completing a wider
improvement project, attention to these details can make a noticeable difference.
Making better use of the space you have
Most homes have areas that could work harder, whether that's an awkward alcove, an underused cupboard, a utility space or somewhere that would benefit from additional shelving.
We can help with practical storage solutions, including fitted shelving, cupboards and other carpentry improvements suited to the available space and how you intend to use it.
Sometimes a relatively simple alteration can make an everyday space much more useful.
The smaller jobs still matter
It's easy for carpentry repairs and small improvements to stay on the to-do list, particularly when you're not sure who to approach for work that doesn't involve a full renovation.
From replacing damaged timber fittings to making practical alterations and completing unfinished jobs, CDI Contractors can help with a range of smaller carpentry requirements, subject to availability.
We're happy to discuss individual jobs as well as combining several smaller improvements into one planned visit.
Bringing the practical elements together
Carpentry often forms part of a wider home improvement project. New kitchens, bathroom upgrades, utility rooms and plumbing alterations can all involve shelving, boxing-in, storage, doors or other finishing work.
Because CDI Contractors also undertakes plumbing, kitchen fitting and bathroom improvements, we can consider these elements together when planning a project.
This can help create a more joined-up approach to the work, from initial alterations through to the finishing details.
Practical property maintenance and improvements
Alongside domestic carpentry, CDI Contractors supports landlords, holiday-let owners and businesses with practical repairs, replacements and improvements.
This can include internal doors, skirting, shelving, storage and finishing work, as well as carpentry associated with workplace kitchens, staff facilities and rental property upgrades.
Whether you're refreshing a property between tenancies or improving a workspace, we can discuss the work required and plan a practical approach.
Looking for something more individual?
Not every project fits into a standard carpentry category. CDI Contractors also undertakes selected bespoke business projects, including custom display furniture, trade stands, product displays and practical workplace fittings.
If you're looking for something designed and built around a particular business requirement, we'd be happy to discuss your ideas.
The image below is a custom-made, collapsible trade stand designed in partnership with Saviour Nails and hand-crafted by CDI Contractors. The stand is a flat, faux-front apothecary backdrop with 6 demountable shelves to flatpack for easy transport. The front desk breaks down and folds for each movement and transport/storage. Hand finished and made to order. Pricing varies according to project size and complexity.
