Custom Walnut/Mahogany Cabinetry with Integrated LED Lighting

£3,500

Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

23rd Jul 2026

I am seeking a highly skilled joiner or carpenter to design, construct, and install a large, custom-built wall cabinetry and library system. The design is heavily inspired by the shelving structure in the attached reference image. A technical sketch with specific requirements and dimensions is also provided. Project Details: Dimensions: Total length of 9.0 meters and a total height of 3 meters. Materials: This is a high-end project. Must use premium-quality Walnut or Mahogany veneer over a stable quality core (e.g., Birch Plywood). A rich, satin finish is required. No cheap particle board. Structure: The cabinet should be built as a built-in library wall, replicating the grid and compartment structure shown in the reference image and sketch. This includes various open shelf sizes for books, decor, and framed items. Lighting: Crucial feature. Integrated linear LED strip lights (Warm White) are to be installed in every single compartment (as per the sketch annotations). All wiring must be concealed, and appropriate electrical access points must be planned. Overall Scope: The task includes a site visit for final measurement verification, detailed design fabrication drawings, material sourcing, off-site fabrication, and on-site assembly and installation. Reference Material: Photo showing the desired style of shelving layout and item display. Required Skills: Advanced Joinery and Cabinetry Veneering and Premium Wood Finishing Precision Cutting and Assembly Integrated Low-Voltage Electrical/LED Installation Please provide quotes that reflect the scale of the project, the use of high-quality materials, and the craftsmanship required. Examples of previous built-in cabinetry work are required. This is a serious project, and I am looking for quality, not a budget fix. Availability: Looking to commence within the next 4-6 weeks. Sketch Reference: The generated sketch below outlines the specific dimensions and annotations for the project

Custom Built-in Cabinet & LED Shelving Unit Installation

£1,500

Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire

11th Jul 2026

I am looking for an experienced carpenter, cabinet maker, or professional joiner to build and install a custom timber built-in unit matching the style of the attached image. The project consists of two main components: 1. Lowline Base Cabinet: A long, low-profile horizontal entertainment/storage unit with seamless, handleless push-to-open cabinet doors or drawers. It should feature a clean wood-grain finish (e.g., walnut or oak veneer/laminate). 2. Vertical Recessed Shelving: A floor-to-ceiling open shelving unit on the right side, matching the timber finish of the base cabinet. This unit needs to have channels routed out to accommodate integrated LED strip lighting under each shelf. Approximate Dimensions: Total Wall Width: [e.g., 8 meters] Base Cabinet: Approx. [e.g., 450mm] high x [e.g., 500mm] deep x [e.g., 4000mm] long. Shelving Unit: Approx. [e.g., 600mm] wide x [e.g., 300mm] deep x [e.g., 2700mm] high. (Note: Exact measurements will need to be verified on-site during a final inspection). What I Expect From the Tasker: Supply of materials (or guide me on what to buy if using pre-made modular components like IKEA hacks, though custom joinery is preferred). Precise cutting, assembly, and secure wall anchoring. Routing of shelves for hidden LED lighting.Clean, seamless finishes with flush gaps. Must bring all your own specialized tools. The budget listed is a placeholder. Please provide a full quote indicating if it includes materials or is for labor only.

What does a carpenter do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home, or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters take on a wide range of work, such as fixing areas of houses and building furniture from scratch.

Carpentry work is generally broken down into two types: rough and finish. Rough carpentry refers to work that doesn’t have an intricate look, as it’s covered up – often by bricks, tiles, or plasterwork. Finish carpentry covers the work that will be on display, so needs to have a nicer finish. Furniture, decking, and window frames all fall into this second category. 

Decking

Don't know what to do with all that space in your backyard? Hire a carpenter who specialises in building decks. A decking specialist can add an outdoor deck or upgrade an existing one that opens up your outdoor space. This is great if you want to entertain guests or eat outside as a family during the sunny months. 

Cabinet making

Cabinetmakers are one example of finish carpentry, because of the high level of detail that goes into their end products. Unlike structural work, it’s important that a cabinet looks nice, so this type of carpenter is a lot more focused on fine details. Cabinetmakers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too. 

Refinishing carpentry

While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at the small end. A trim carpenter is the way to go if you want someone to fix up your skirting boards, cornicing, or a similar aspect of your home.

Custom made furniture

A house isn’t a home without a few personal touches, and if you’d rather avoid the cookie-cutter Ikea approach to decorating your property, hiring a carpenter to create custom-made furniture can make you stand out. Whether you want chairs, tables, or a shoe rack, there’s someone nearby who can help.

Joinery

Joinery services encompass the craftsmanship of creating and joining wood in workshops, distinct from on-site carpentry. These services range from bespoke projects to crafting timber buildings, emphasizing precision and passion. Joiners play a crucial role in interior woodwork, window and door production, and specialized construction, offering tailored and quality timber solutions.
