Bespoke Fitted Furniture in Preston
A great deal of Preston's housing still has its chimney breasts, which means two alcoves in almost every bedroom — the situation fitted furniture exists for.

Alcoves,
Either Side
Preston and the streets through Fulwood, Penwortham and Ashton hold a lot of older stock where the chimney breast was never taken out. That leaves two alcoves of slightly different widths in the same room.
Each one is measured separately and made separately, because they are almost never a matched pair. Done properly the finished run reads as symmetrical even where the room itself is not.
Either way the method is the same. We measure the room as it actually is — the out-of-square corner, the bowed plaster, the skirting depth — and the furniture is made to those figures. You deal with the same person from the first visit in your Preston home to the last handle.
