Carpenter- would like to install new Balustrades

I would like to install Balustrades in my house. One landing and 4 hand rails

Custom wood desk

£500

Chigwell Row, Essex

5th Mar 2025

Hi, Hope you are all well. I would like a custom desk built (as pictured and of similar colour/solid wood. As you can see in the picture their desk is attached to the wall, however I would like it freestanding (with two legs, as seen in the drawing). I have attached some photos and a drawing, which I hope will help communicate exactly what it is I’m looking for but essentially it is a desk of 80cm in height, 115cm in length and 104cm in width. I’m hoping to get a quote, timeframe etc. I also think the desk may need to be assembled in the room where it will be located, whilst we are able to move it into the house there are some restrictions due to the staircase located just outside the doorway of the room where the desk will be located. Thank you in advance for your help and please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Yogita
