Comprehensive Carpentry & Joinery Services Across Oxford

We provide a full range of carpentry and joinery services tailored to the needs of Oxford homeowners. With all trades managed under one roof, every project is completed efficiently and to an exceptional finish.

Structural Carpentry

Structural carpentry is essential to the integrity of your home. We construct and reinforce roof structures, floor joists, stud partitions, timber framing and load-bearing elements with precision and full compliance with building regulations. Our skilled tradespeople ensure all structural work is safe, strong and built to last.

First Fix Carpentry

During the initial phase of a renovation or build, we handle all first fix carpentry, including floors, partitions, ceiling structures, door linings, window frameworks and stair installations. This stage provides the foundations upon which the rest of your interior is built.

Second Fix Carpentry

Attention to detail is key during second fix carpentry. We install skirting boards, architraves, internal doors, window boards, balustrades and final mouldings with exceptional precision, ensuring crisp lines, perfect alignment and finishes that elevate the overall aesthetic of your home.

Bespoke Joinery & Custom Woodwork

Our bespoke joinery services allow you to maximise space and enhance the character of your home. We design and build custom wardrobes, alcove units, shelving, media walls, storage solutions and bespoke cabinetry. Everything is tailored to your exact requirements, blending practicality with craftsmanship.

Kitchen Fitting & Bespoke Cabinetry

As specialists in kitchen installation, we fit kitchens to a professional standard, ensuring perfect alignment, seamless integration of appliances, accurate utility positioning and robust structural support. Whether you are installing a new kitchen or enhancing an existing one with custom cabinetry, we deliver beautiful, functional results.

Door & Window Installation

We install both internal and external timber doors, as well as timber-framed windows including casements and sash windows. If your existing doors or windows require adjustment, repair or replacement, our team ensures a perfect fit, improved insulation and long-term performance.

Flooring Installation

From engineered wood to traditional hardwood floors, we install and finish flooring that enhances warmth, durability and visual appeal. We also prepare subfloors, install underlays and ensure acoustic performance where required.

Repairs, Restorations & Period Property Carpentry

Oxford’s period homes require specialist skill. We repair traditional timber features, restore sash windows, replace mouldings, reinstate character details and carry out heritage-aligned carpentry that respects the original architecture.

Our Craftsmanship-Led Approach

Exceptional carpentry is more than just fitting timber — it’s about precision, planning and an unwavering commitment to quality. At Exelion, we approach every task with craftsmanship at the forefront. We use carefully selected materials, ensure accurate measurements, maintain consistent alignment and apply finishes that stand the test of time.

Because we are a full-service contractor, our carpentry integrates seamlessly with wider renovation or construction work. The result is a coordinated, efficient and visually cohesive finish throughout your home.

Carpentry & Joinery for Oxford’s Property Types

Oxford’s residential architecture is incredibly diverse, and each property type demands a specialist approach.

Victorian & Edwardian Properties

Common across East Oxford, Jericho, Cowley and Summertown, these homes often require traditional joinery, sash window repairs, timber restoration and careful preservation of original mouldings and architectural features.

1930s & Mid-Century Homes

These properties frequently benefit from upgraded staircases, new flooring, contemporary joinery and layout-enhancing storage solutions.

Modern Homes & New Builds

We provide sleek, contemporary carpentry and storage solutions with clean lines and minimalist finishes, perfect for today’s interior styles.

Flats & Maisonettes

Space optimisation is essential. We deliver bespoke cabinetry, fitted wardrobes, media units and efficient flooring installations tailored to compact living spaces and landlord requirements.

The Benefits of Professional Carpentry & Joinery

High-quality carpentry enhances a home in countless ways. Professionally installed timberwork improves functionality, increases aesthetic appeal and boosts overall property value — particularly in a desirable market like Oxford. Bespoke cabinetry maximises storage and elevates interior design, while structural carpentry enhances strength, stability and longevity.

Investing in skilled craftsmanship ensures your home not only looks exceptional but also performs well long into the future.

Our accredited approach to health and safety ensures compliance at all stages, while CIOB-backed leadership guarantees technical excellence and accountability.
