I am an artisan-craftsman who has lived and worked for my entire career in the Downham Market area. I have always enjoyed my carpentry and am lucky enough to have worked on many prestigious projects including being the lead tutor on eight separate Prince's Foundation design and build courses.
Making a vernacular building with a group of twenty students of various abilities and experience, Prince Charles would visit on day fifteen, no pressure then.I have a spacious workshop packed with woodwork machinery and tools. For many years I have been refining my skills and techniques, as you can see from my photographs, I make unusual one off items.
The business was set up by my father, Alan Taylor, in 1969. Trading as Alan Taylor and Sons, his reputation as a skilled artist and carpenter grew through word-of-mouth. He worked extensively on bespoke projects for local estates and also made candlesticks for St. Edmund's Church. I grew up with dad building unusual, creative things all around me. High quality design, materials and craftsmanship are second nature to me.

Services
Internal and external bespoke joinery designed to suit your home, expertly made and fitted. Echoing existing features as necessary. Made from a range of good quality certified soft and hardwoods, fully sanded and finished to a high standard. Larger and smaller jobs undertaken, I have a lot of experience in making a wide spectrum of different individual projects.
Repairs might include replacing rotten sashes or building an entire new roof, which can include cast iron cresting. This has incorporated fitting modern rubber gaskets to traditional-looking, slender glazing bars. Details such as matching moulding styles would also make up part of a refurbishment. Lime mortar wall repairs for vernacular architecture is also undertaken, often using flint, carrstone and monastic stone.
