How We Deliver Excellence
At Rawwood Projects, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern building techniques to deliver exceptional results on every project.
When you choose Rawwood Projects for your carpentry or building project, you're choosing a team that genuinely cares about the outcome. We understand that your home is your most valuable asset, and we treat every project with the respect and attention it deserves. Our approach begins with listening – we take the time to understand your vision, your requirements, and your budget before we even pick up a tool.
Conor Lawlor, our lead carpenter and founder, brings over two decades of hands-on experience to every project. Having started his career as an apprentice and worked his way up through various aspects of the building trade, Conor has developed a comprehensive understanding of construction that few can match. This expertise, combined with a genuine passion for woodworking and a commitment to customer satisfaction, forms the foundation of everything we do at Rawwood Projects.
We believe that quality craftsmanship speaks for itself. That's why we never cut corners, never use substandard materials, and never rush a job just to move on to the next one. Whether we're fitting a single door or managing a complete home renovation, we apply the same level of care and attention to detail. Our growing portfolio of satisfied customers and our excellent reviews on platforms like Checkatrade and Google are testament to this approach.
Communication is key to any successful project. From the initial consultation through to completion, we keep you informed every step of the way. If we encounter any unexpected issues, we discuss them with you immediately and present solutions rather than problems. We work around your schedule as much as possible, understanding that having tradespeople in your home can be disruptive. Our team is known for being courteous, tidy, and respectful of your property at all times.
Being a local Carshalton business, we take great pride in serving our community. Many of our clients come through word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbours and friends, which is the highest compliment we can receive. We're not just building structures – we're building relationships and a reputation that we intend to maintain for years to come. When you work with Rawwood Projects, you're not just hiring a contractor; you're gaining a trusted partner for all your home improvement needs.
Our services span the full spectrum of carpentry and building work. From precise joinery work like fitting doors, skirting boards, and architraves, to larger projects such as loft conversions, extensions, and full property renovations – we have the skills and experience to handle it all. We also specialise in bespoke furniture and fitted storage solutions, creating custom pieces that maximise your space and complement your home's style. No project is too big or too small for the Rawwood Projects team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our carpentry and building services.
Q1.How much do your carpentry services cost?
Every project is unique, so we provide tailored quotes based on your specific requirements. We offer free, no-obligation estimates and are always transparent about pricing. Factors affecting cost include the scope of work, materials required, complexity, and timeline. We pride ourselves on competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Contact us for a detailed quote – there's no charge for the estimate.
Q2.Are you fully insured for building and carpentry work?
Yes, absolutely. Rawwood Projects carries comprehensive public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind. We're also Checkatrade verified, which means our credentials, qualifications, and insurance have been independently checked. You can verify our insurance status through our Checkatrade profile at any time.
Q3.How long have you been in business?
Conor Lawlor, our founder and lead carpenter, has over 20 years of experience in the carpentry and building trade. Rawwood Projects was established to bring this expertise directly to homeowners in Carshalton and the wider Surrey area. Our extensive experience means we've encountered virtually every type of project and challenge, allowing us to deliver excellent results consistently.
Q4.What areas do you cover for your services?
We're based in Carshalton (SM5) and typically cover a 15-mile radius. This includes Sutton, Wallington, Cheam, Mitcham, Croydon, Coulsdon, Banstead, Epsom, Wimbledon, Morden, and surrounding areas of Surrey and South London. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, please get in touch – we're often happy to travel further for larger projects.
Q5.Do you provide free quotes for carpentry work?
Yes, all our consultations and quotes are completely free with no obligation. We'll visit your property, discuss your requirements, take measurements if needed, and provide a detailed written quote. We believe you should have all the information you need to make an informed decision without any pressure.
Q6.How quickly can you start work on my project?
Our availability varies depending on our current workload and the size of your project. For smaller jobs like door fitting or shelving, we can often schedule within a couple of weeks. Larger projects may be booked a few months in advance. We always try to accommodate urgent work where possible. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we'll do our best to meet your needs.
Q7.Do you handle all types of carpentry and building work?
We offer a comprehensive range of services including general building (extensions, loft conversions, renovations), carpentry and joinery (doors, flooring, stairs, skirting), bespoke furniture (fitted wardrobes, cabinets, shelving), outdoor structures (garden rooms, decking, fencing), and painting & decorating. If it involves wood or construction, chances are we can help. Just ask!
Q8.What is your process for a typical project?
Our process starts with an initial consultation where we discuss your ideas and provide a free quote. Once you're happy to proceed, we move to the planning phase, including measurements and material selection. Then comes the construction phase, where our skilled team brings your project to life. We finish with a thorough quality check and walk-through, followed by aftercare support. We keep you informed throughout.
Q9.Do you need planning permission for garden rooms or extensions?
It depends on the project. Many garden rooms and smaller extensions fall under 'permitted development' rights and don't require planning permission, provided they meet certain criteria (size, height, distance from boundaries, etc.). Larger projects may need full planning approval. We can advise on this during our consultation and even help with applications if required.
Q10.What guarantees do you offer on your work?
All our work comes with a workmanship guarantee. If you notice any issues after completion, we'll address them promptly at no additional cost. We stand behind the quality of our work 100%. Additionally, our excellent reputation on Checkatrade (10/10 rating with 77+ reviews) and Google (5-star rating) demonstrates our commitment to customer satisfaction.
