Not every job is a deck or a fence. Some weeks the work is a door, a ceiling and the edge of a roof. Here is what went in this week.
A custom made pine barn door
This is a custom made pine barn door, hung on a black sliding track. The grain shows through the clear finish, which suits a plain white room like this one.
I also built a table this week. The first two photos show the top being glued up and clamped outdoors, and the last shows the finished table standing on its trestle base.
An isoboard ceiling
The other job was an isoboard ceiling installation. The boards are finished white with the beams left showing, so the room keeps its character and the ceiling looks clean and even.
New soffits, before and after
These soffits were in poor condition, with the old lining hanging open under the roof edge. New soffits went in along the roof, finished in white to match the window frames. Drag the line to see the difference.

A customer's words about their deck
A customer wrote this about a deck we built for them. It is quoted here exactly as they wrote it.
We recently realised that the eastern side of our house was not being used to its full potential. There was a fairly substantial drop down to the garden, which made the area less accessible and meant that we were reluctant to put a table and chairs there.
I was persuaded that the answer was to build a deck, and set about designing it in three dimensions using SketchUp. This enabled me to calculate the exact number, dimensions and positions of the individual planks and to produce a detailed drawing for the installer.
I chose Neville Banwell for the job, and he and his team came up trumps. The three-man team worked extremely well together and completed the work remarkably quickly. The supporting structure was carefully prepared, the workmanship was excellent, and stainless-steel screws were used throughout.
The whole experience was a pleasure, from the initial discussions through to completion. The result has exceeded our expectations.
The deck has quite literally changed our lives. What was previously an underused area has become an integral part of our everyday living, and somewhere we now spend a great deal of time.
We are delighted with the result and would have no hesitation in recommending Neville Banwell and his company to anyone considering similar work.
