Carpenter & Builder in Instow
Carpentry, joinery and building for Instow: a free site visit, a fixed quote and one team from first discussion to final finish.
Working in Instow
Local carpentry and building for Instow homes.
Instow sits on the estuary between Barnstaple and Bideford, making it part of the area covered by Liveliwood Co. If your home needs better storage, a more practical kitchen or additional living space, Ashley Cole can discuss the options during a free site visit. The starting point is your property and the way you want to use it, rather than a standard package of work.
In an estuary setting, it makes sense to consider external timber and weatherproofing alongside any interior improvements. A new door, an extension or a garden office needs to work with the existing building. Measurements, the condition of adjoining materials and access for deliveries are checked before a fixed quote is prepared. Carpentry and joinery can be coordinated with structural construction, so the details fit together.
You can also ask about bespoke cabinetry, roofing and planning or Building Control support. With 16 years' experience, Ashley remains personally involved, backed by a core team of three and specialist subcontractors where needed. Work carries a 5-year workmanship guarantee and £2M public liability insurance.

What Instow properties are up against.
Property types in Instow
The condition of walls, floors and timber affects how new work fits. Ashley checks the existing building before agreeing a specification.
Climate and exposure
External materials and weatherproofing should suit the property's exposure. The details are assessed at your site rather than assumed from its location.
Access and practicalities
Deliveries, parking and access to the work area need planning. Discuss any restrictions at the free site visit so the programme can account for them.
Building age
Earlier alterations can influence new work. Share any plans or records you have, and check approval requirements before structural changes begin.
Before you start
