Our Process: From Concept to Completion
Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion about your storage needs, space constraints, and design preferences. For Bristol and Bath properties, we consider architectural features, period details, and any conservation requirements that may influence design possibilities.
Site Survey & Measurement
Our team conducts precise measurements of your space, noting any irregularities, angles, or features that will impact the design. This is particularly important in Bristol and Bath's older properties where rooms rarely have perfect dimensions.
Design Proposal
Based on your requirements and our measurements, we create detailed design proposals, including material options, finishes, and configurations. We provide clear visualisations to help you understand how the finished project will look in your specific space.
Professional Installation
We install your custom storage with care and precision, ensuring perfect fit and finish. Our installers work cleanly and efficiently, respecting your property and minimising disruption throughout the process.
Storage Statistics
How long does it take to design and install custom storage?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity and scale of your project. For Bristol and Bath clients, a typical alcove unit might take 1-2 weeks from initial consultation to installation, while a comprehensive bedroom storage system could take 3-4 weeks. We'll provide a clear timeline during your consultation, ensuring you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need permission for built-in storage in Bath's conservation areas?
For most internal storage solutions, planning permission isn't required. However, if your property is listed (common in central Bath and parts of Bristol like Clifton), you may need listed building consent for significant alterations. We're experienced in working within conservation guidelines and can advise on solutions that enhance your space while respecting historical significance.
What's the difference between off-the-shelf and custom storage?
While off-the-shelf solutions offer immediate availability, custom storage provides perfect fit, maximises every inch of available space, and can be designed around your specific storage needs and aesthetic preferences. For Bristol and Bath's often quirky property layouts, this customisation is invaluable. Custom storage also tends to be sturdier, longer-lasting, and adds more value to your property than standard furniture.
Having struggled for years with a challenging room layout in our Victorian terrace in Southville, we decided to invest in custom alcove units and under-eaves storage. Fernwood's approach was thoroughly professional from start to finish. They created designs that maximised every inch of available space, and crafted beautiful units that look like they've always been part of the house. The quality of workmanship is exceptional - the painted finish perfectly matches our existing woodwork, and the attention to period details means the storage complements rather than competes with the room's original features. We now have triple the storage in the same space, and it's transformed how we use the room.
