Oxford Carpentry | Painting & Decorating
'Not only is Joe professional, prompt and produces great work, he's also a good energy to have around the house!'
Susie Billings, Oxford
Block Carpentry is a North Oxford carpentry service owned and run by me, Joe. I pride myself on delivering high-quality carpentry services, be it bespoke cabinetry, simple shelving or a bike shed for the garden.
Historically I was an advertising exec working in London, but my true
passion has always been using my hands to make and repair things. I
trained and had a workshop in south London, before moving to Oxford in 2022.
I understand what's important to my clients and will work with you to
make sure we achieve exactly what you want. I’m punctual, respectful,
tidy and believe good communication is key.

Services
I provide a wide range of services, please call me or drop me a line and

Repairs &
Maintenance
Wooden structures need upkeep. Whether it’s a door that won’t close properly, flooring that needs a little TLC, or window frames in need of repair, I’ll restore your wooden things to their former glory with proper care.
DIY
Sometimes, that long list of things that need doing, just need to be done. If you need help with small fixes or putting together flatpack furniture, hanging pictures or putting locks on a door, I'm here to help.
Decks & Outdoor
Spaces
I’ll help you create the perfect outdoor retreat with a custom deck, pergola, or garden structure. I can design and build a functional outdoor space that adds beauty and value to your property.
Custom Furniture
& Cabinetry
Whether it’s a handcrafted dining table, built-in shelving, or a unique kitchen cabinet set, I will work with you to create pieces that look beautiful and whilst remaining practical.
Painting &
Decorating
I understand the desire for a beautiful finish and will fill and smooth out walls and prepare properly to get that perfect look you are after.

Stoke Newington
I'm delighted with Joe's work. He created bespoke, handleless cupboards for me in the bathroom, alcove shelving in the living room. He was reliable, communicative and made sure the finish was just as I wanted
Stretch Yoga Studio
London Fields
I needed a counter and reception area building for my Yoga Studio. Joe designed and installed the whole space, he was clean, tidy and quick. I've had compliments from all my clients
Stuart Geddes
Leytonstone
I highly recommend Joe. He built new alcove shelves for my records and books. I wanted normal shelves at first but Joe came up with interesting
designs that I hadn't considered. Very happy with the result!
