Carpentry and fitted furniture in Hailsham

Hailsham has grown fast, and many of its homes are newer builds. They tend to have plain rectangular rooms, a space under the stairs that the builder closed off with one door, and a garden that is a square of turf and a fence. That makes for a familiar list: fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, under-stairs drawers, a media wall in the living room and a deck out the back.

The older houses around the town centre and out towards Hellingly and Herstmonceux have alcoves, uneven walls and older floors, which is where made-to-measure work earns its keep.
