Bathrooms, kitchens and refurbishments

Whether you want a whole new bathroom suite, a wet room shower, a Jacuzzi or sunken bath, or underfloor heating, we can advise on how to achieve it within your budget. We fit off-the-shelf and bespoke kitchens, including the electrical, gas and plumbing work.

For refurbishments, we can add a new window, wall or staircase, convert a garage or build a garden summer house. Building products keep developing, and we can advise on the right materials and methods for the job.

If you have just moved in, it is a good time to make the house your own, whether that means changing the whole layout or updating a few details. If you know what you want, we will build it; if not, our carpenters can help you shape the design.

Extensions and loft conversions in Winchester

Need more room for the family without moving? We build everything from simple porch extensions to double storey kitchen and bedroom extensions, designed to sit in keeping with your existing home.

No space to build out? The loft is often the biggest untapped space in a family home. We can turn it into a new bedroom, bathroom or office. A loft conversion is often more economical and quicker to complete than an extension, and generally doesn’t need planning permission.

Why use a professional carpenter

Some jobs need proper training to get right, and even for a keen DIYer carpentry takes a lot of time. Our team finishes sooner, brings all the equipment needed to do the job properly first time, which saves you buying expensive tools, and tidies up thoroughly before leaving so your home doesn’t become a building site.

Local to you

Carpentry across Winchester and nearby

Winchester has a lot of period joinery worth keeping: sash windows, panelled doors, staircases and fitted cupboards in Georgian and Victorian houses. Our carpenters repair and remake these to match, and build new fitted furniture that suits older rooms with uneven walls. In listed buildings, changes to original joinery can need consent, so we check first. In the villages around the city we also build garden structures and outbuildings.

Also covering

Alresford
Alresford's Georgian townhouses often have original sash windows and shutters that we can repair rather than replace.
Twyford
In Twyford we build fitted wardrobes and bookcases that work around cottage alcoves and sloping ceilings.
Sparsholt
Garden rooms, sheds and timber-framed outbuildings suit the larger plots around Sparsholt.
Bishop’s Waltham
For Bishop's Waltham's older buildings, we can make panelled doors and staircase parts to match existing patterns.
Swanmore
Built-in storage, new internal doors and skirting are typical carpentry jobs in Swanmore's family homes.
Wickham
Wickham's character properties sometimes need beams, lintels or window frames repaired using matching timber.
Durley
In rural Durley we build decking, pergolas and fencing that stand up to an open, exposed setting.
Denmead
Denmead homeowners often ask for new staircases and fitted furniture as part of a wider update to the house.

A typical carpentry project in Oliver's Battery, Winchester

Thatched oak-framed garden shelterOak staircase and hallway with wood flooring
The home
Oliver's Battery sits on the hillside south-west of Winchester, with many detached bungalows on sloping plots.
What's usually wanted
People often ask for steps, decking or a garden building that makes the sloping garden easier to use.
How we'd approach it
We survey the levels and design timber structures with the right footings for the slope, using treated timber or oak suited to an exposed spot. For any outbuilding, we check size and position against permitted development rules before building.
The result
A garden that is easier to use, with level areas to sit out and store things.

What our customers say

Built on recommendations.

Caws Carpentry have done an excellent job at opening up our wall and reinforcing it with steel. Ryan and his team were professional – on time, no problems.
GGary LangdownCustomer review
Caws Carpentry undertook a large extension with new roof, attic conversion and total refurbishment of the whole house over a period of 11 months. Caws Carpentry were well-organised with great attention to detail and kept us informed and consulted on changes to scope and cost. The quality of workmanship and finish was exceptional and we are so pleased with the result.
SSophie LiddellExtension, loft conversion & refurbishment
I thought this was a fairly straightforward job but as it progressed I realised there was more to it than I expected. In the end 3 different teams worked on it and I appreciated them each being experts in their own particular trade, rather than using someone who was more of a general carpenter/Builders. Each team was very efficient and did a superb job. Ryan was always available if needed and I was consulted on each stage of the project, and he took a lot of care to ensure the final design would stand the test of time. Highly recommend
