Furniture for awkward spaces in Alicante

Survey, design, manufacture and fitting

Between columns, below a sloping roof or beside a low window, the useful space is seldom a neat rectangle. The first drawing needs to show where its width and depth change.

Made for the actual room

Check the room before fixing the design

We look at the furniture in use: door swing, cleaning, capacity and the parts of the room that cannot move.

Measurements checked

We check clearances, access and fitting conditions before the drawings are signed off.

Materials specified

The quote sets out boards, finishes, fittings and the installation scope.

A defined scope

Furniture and any separate building work are identified in the proposal.

A direct contact

Your project contact answers questions and coordinates the agreed stages.

Our process

From enquiry to installation

We move from an initial price guide to a quotation based on measured dimensions, then manufacture, fit and check the furniture with you.

Initial price guide
Send photos, rough dimensions, the address and a note about what the furniture must do. We can discuss a price range before measuring.
Survey of the space
At the property we check walls, services, clearances and the route for bringing the pieces in. These measurements replace the first estimates.
Design and plans, when needed
We develop the layout and project drawings if the job requires them. They are free when you order the manufacture of that project from us.
Final quotation
The agreed layout, boards, finishes, fittings and installation appear in a written quotation with the final price.
Approval and deposit
You can review the specification before accepting it. The agreed deposit then starts the manufacturing order.
Making the furniture
We prepare the pieces to the approved dimensions and check the details needed for delivery and fitting.
Fitting on site
The team installs the furniture and adjusts doors, drawers, joints and visible finishing details.
Checking it with you
We test how the furniture opens and works together, inspect the finish and record any final adjustment.

Solutions for your space

Working with a space that is not square

A cabinet based on the widest measurement may not pass the narrow end.

A column within the drawing

The front and storage are divided around the obstruction instead of treating the depth as continuous.

A sloping ceiling

We survey heights along the run and draw doors that can actually open.

A narrow route

Shallow units or alternative door swings can keep circulation clear.

Accessible services

Pipes, valves and inspection points are mapped and remain reachable.

Three ways to approach the specification

Choose the solution by the shape of the problem

An awkward recess does not always need a floor-to-ceiling cupboard.

Changing depth01

Avoid empty space inside units

Where a wall steps back, a shorter shelf may work better than a drawer with no useful depth.

Depth surveyed by section
Contents allocated to each part
Interior within reach

Difficult junctions02

Deal with columns and slopes

Finishing pieces take up building variations without forcing the visible fronts out of line.

Parts drawn before manufacture
Openings tested
Finishes included in the quote

Nearby services03

Keep essential access

A removable panel is designed in from the start where a valve or other service needs inspection.

Access points photographed
Opening method agreed
Suitable fixings specified

A detailed quotation

Useful details for an initial assessment

Rough details are enough to start.

Before deciding

Questions before you enquire

Is the width of the recess enough to start?＋

Send photos and heights and depths at several points too. Where walls change or services sit inside, the site survey sets the final parts.

Can a drawer sit beside a column?＋

That depends on usable depth and room to pull it out. It may work better in the regular section, with a shorter shelf by the column.

How is an uneven wall finished?＋

The parts list includes finishing pieces adjusted on site. Their width and finish are agreed in the design and stated in the proposal.

Furniture drawn around the actual geometry

A column, stepped wall or sloping ceiling can change the useful depth several times along one run. We measure at different heights and examine where the furniture meets floor, ceiling and skirting. That separates real storage capacity from the outline seen from the room. A short shelf may be more useful in a narrow section than forcing a drawer into the deepest point.

Doors also need space outside the recess. We check windows, corridor width and any service access that must remain usable. Pipes and electrical panels are marked on the drawing, with an opening panel where necessary; covering them behind a fixed back would create a problem later.

Photographs from several angles and rough width, height and depth let us identify questions before a visit. The design and quotation separate parts made in the workshop, finishing pieces adjusted during fitting and any work belonging to another trade.
