What we build

Fine joinery and structural building, under one roof.

Most firms do one or the other. We do both, so the kitchen fits the extension it sits in, and you deal with one team from first visit to final handover.

About Liveliwood Co

16 years in the trade. Personally involved in every project.

Ashley Cole started in construction at a young age and has spent 16 years working hands-on across most building and woodworking disciplines. That breadth is why Liveliwood Co can take on a fitted kitchen one month and a full extension the next.

Ashley works with a core team of three and brings in trusted specialist subcontractors where a job needs them. You are not handed off to a site manager you've never met; the person who visits and quotes is involved from start to finish.

The work starts with accurate measurements and a clear price, so you know what you are paying for.

  • £2M public liability insurance
  • 5-year workmanship guarantee
  • New builds to structural warranty standard
