What we do
All aspects of carpentry,
under one trusted team.
Whether it's a single door lining or a full home renovation — internal joinery, external works and everything fixing it together.
Doors, Frames & Skirting
Hung fire doors, linings, architrave, skirting and finishes that look built-in — because they are.
Staircases & Handrails
New builds, renovations and repairs — treads, risers, posts and spindles, sanded and finished on site.
Decking, Fencing & Gardens
Composite and timber decking, screen fencing, gates, pergolas and garden buildings, built to weather British winters.
Kitchens & Utility Rooms
Sets, pantries, worktops, islands and splashbacks — installed level and sealed like they were designed for the room.
Extensions, Porches & Loft Conversions
Timber-frame porches, cladding, kerb and lean-to extensions — first fix to final finish, with certified materials where needed.
First & Second Fix
Roofs, stud walls, flooring, boxing, sockets plates to architrave — new builds and renovations, on time and on spec.
Landscaping, Turfing & Drives
Topsoil, turf, patio edges, sleepers and drainage — the plot finishing that carpentry projects deserve.
Small jobs, repairs & maintenance too.
Squeaky doors, loose kickboards, creaking stairs, broken gates, laminate corners — we don't just do the big ones.
Recent work
A room, a deck, a staircase.
Done properly, the first time.

Who's fitting it in your home
Andy & the A.R. team.
AR Carpentry & Construction is a Cheltenham-based team of skilled carpenters taking on all sides of carpentry — from a single repaired sash window to full first-and-second-fix on a whole-house renovation.
We believe good joinery should be measured properly, cut to fit, finished clean and left tidy. And good service should be as standard as a tape measure.

Reviews
Word of mouth built this.
What customers say once the dust sheets come up.
★★★★★
"Fitted our two alcoves and it honestly looks original to the house. Measured four times, cut once. Tidy, friendly and priced fairly."
★★★★★
"New composite deck and fence in time for summer. The prep work was as good as the finishing — dead level, solid gates, site spotless every evening."
★★★★★
"We'd been let down twice before. A.R. turned up when they said, gave a clear written quote and finished the whole stair rebuild two days early."

Good questions
Before you book.
-
Quotations are freeSite visit and fixed-price quote, no obligation to book.
-
Guaranteed workmanshipEvery job guaranteed, insurance-backed where required.
Do you do small jobs and repairs?
Yes — half our work is repairs and one-day jobs: sticking doors, split architrave, loose balustrade spindles, a broken fence panel. No job is beneath us if it involves a hinge or a plank.
Which areas do you cover?
Cheltenham and everywhere in Gloucestershire — including Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and the Cotswolds. Outside the county for larger renovation projects.
Can you work alongside my builder or architect?
Absolutely. We regularly sub-contract first and second fix on main-builder contracts and work from architectural drawings for bespoke joinery.
What are your payment terms?
Nothing upfront on most jobs. For longer projects we agree staged payments as an itemised quotation — bank transfer on completion of each stage, invoice every time.
Are you insured?
Yes — fully insured for all domestic and light commercial work, with references from recent projects available on request.
Do you supply materials too?
Yes, we supply trade-grade timber and materials from our merchants which often saves you money and guarantees the grain matches. Happy to work with your materials if you prefer.
