If you’re like us, you might have a TV, Sky box, maybe a sound system, perhaps an X-Box or other type of gaming system, and a DVD player, oh, and speakers too. That all makes lot of cables. And mess. That’s the last thing you want after a hard day’s work and you just want to flop in front of …
Designing and fitting to use difficult spaces
Much of our work is finding a solution to a problem of using difficult space that a client may have. This is perhaps because they live in an old property where the walls and ceilings simply aren’t square, or a loft or roof space has been converted to add much needed space to a house, but which then leaves steeply …
7 hours into 1 minute does go
We recently fitted made-to-measure wardrobes into a client’s bedroom, and decided to take a few photographs throughout the process to then squash down into a sort of time lapse furniture frenzy – and this is the result, as posted on our YouTube channel. Seven hours of hard graft compressed into a minute of film. Enjoy!
Alfie
No, not the famous film from 1966 starring Michael Caine, but our faithful and friendly workshop dog. Ever since we posted a photo of him a few weeks ago, people have been asking what type of dog he is. Well, Alfie is a Labrador retriever, and we got him when he was almost two years old from Medical Detection Dogs. …
Heavy movers
As you might have read here, we have recently expanded the business and had to move into a much larger workshop. It might sound like a cliché, but to do a high quality job, you need top quality tools, so we invested in more of them. But it’s not quite like buying a new drill or saw from B&Q and …
Recent commission – a bespoke wardrobe in European Oak
We recently finished fitting a large wardrobe into a client’s house in Essex. This house is an old farmhouse with ancient beams and loads of character. This character also meant that the floor in the bedroom where the wardrobe was to be fiited was sloping, and so was challenging to say the least. Undeterred, we made the wardrobe in European …
A face to a name
We’ve been out and about the last couple of days photographing some our work that has been completed for clients to put on our website that will be constructed in the near future. But in the meantime, here’s one of the shots we took. This is me – Mark Williamson – and the company dog, Alfie. So, if you call …
“I needed help with a larder which just didn’t work..”
It’s not often you come across a good old-fashioned larder nowadays – before every household had a refrigerator and freezer, the larder was an area or small room off the kitchen where cool air could freely circulate, and they were located in a corner that receieved the least light and consequently, heat. Anyway, we were asked to completely overhaul the …

Mark Williamson Furniture is expanding! 2,000 square feet of new workshop!
It might look like a bomb has hit it at the moment, but this is, or more correctly, will be, our new workshop and company H.Q. We’re busy, which is brilliant, so it was time to move on from our old workshop to one with much, much more space. It has been hard work, from sourcing new wood working machinery, …
