"Precision carpentry, from the ground up—
and master of the heights."
I am Joe Murphy, a highly versatile Site Carpenter with a unique competitive edge: I combine expert-level joinery skills with certified Rope Access capabilities.
With over 18 years of on-site experience, I specialise in technical installations where precision and safety are paramount. Unlike standard carpenters, I eliminate the need for expensive scaffolding on difficult-access projects.
Whether it's fitting fire doors—a skill honed through years of real-world practice—restoring heritage sash windows, or performing high-level architectural repairs, I deliver exceptional results in any environment.
I hold a CSCS card and an NVQ Level 2 in Carpentry. In addition, I have several years of experience in industrial abseiling where I gained skills in various trades (although my IRATA certification has now expired).
A rare combination of traditional craft and high-access capability
I am an accredited expert in fitting and upgrading fire doors. I ensure full compliance with safety regulations for commercial and residential properties, including precise Newton force adjustments.
Safety ComplianceI provide traditional sash window repairs, draught-proofing, and complete replacements. I am an expert in maintaining heritage aesthetics while improving thermal efficiency.
Heritage CraftI offer complete on-site carpentry for extensions. From structural 1st fix work to the precise installation of high-end kitchens and 2nd fix finishing—I make sure everything is millimetre perfect.
ResidentialUnique Specialist Skill: I perform window repairs, soffits, fascias, and cladding at height using industrial rope access techniques—saving my clients time and scaffolding costs.
High AccessI custom-design and install wainscoting, feature walls, and panelling systems. I precision-scribe every piece to uneven walls with expert mitre work for a flawless finish.
Bespoke JoineryFrom bespoke kitchen carousels to arcade cabinets and bin enclosures—if it's made of wood and requires precision, I build it right the first time.
