Machinery & capabilities
Our machinery, from beam saw to spray line
Everything under one roof
Machining, assembly and finishing all happen in the same building in Croydon. Nothing is sent out, so nothing waits in someone else's queue.
Boards and machinery we run
HOMAG plant on the shop floor, and the panel brands it cuts every day.
Precision
Plant that a single joinery shop could not justify on its own
A beam saw, a 5-axis CNC, a vertical CNC, a glue-line edgebander, a wide-belt sander, a thickness planer, a veneer press, three spray booths and a robotic spray line — all in one building, all maintained and all available to trade customers at trade rates.
- Machining
- 5-axis and vertical CNC
- Finishing
- 3 booths + robotic line
- Under one roof
- Cut to delivered
Typical lead times
Cut and edged panels
2 to 4 working days, collected or delivered.
Sprayed doors and fronts
5 to 10 working days from arrival here.
Made-to-drawing joinery
3 to 5 weeks, set at the quote stage.
These are the times we hold in normal weeks. Send the job through and we will confirm a date in writing before you commit.
Machine by machine
Each one is a supplier you no longer have to book
Every machine has its own page: what it does, what it can take, and what it means for your date. You are welcome to come and see any of them working.
