We create high‑finished, comfortable spaces, whether you need bespoke joinery, a new bathroom, a kitchen, full refurbishment or careful restoration work. Every project is planned, supervised and delivered with the same attention to detail, from the first site visit to the final handover.
Bespoke kitchens and wardrobes, plus major‑brand installationsBrais Joinery & Development designs, manufactures and installs fully bespoke kitchens — cabinetry, worktops, islands and splashbacks — all tailored precisely to your space and requirements. Every layout begins with a home measuring visit, practical design suggestions and consultancy to ensure the space works before anything is cut.

Architectural JoineryArchitectural joinery demands technical precision, expert craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of building design to seamlessly integrate with a property's unique dimensions and character. Bridging traditional fine woodworking and structural construction, we deliver a complete custom service – from crafting brand-new staircases and refurbishing existing ones to modern or contemporary windows, doors, roof lanterns, and more.

Architectural Restoration & Heritage JoineryArchitectural joinery deserves to be preserved, not discarded. When a period feature has been damaged, neglected or written off, we bring it back to life with careful restoration and traditional craftsmanship. Our approach protects the character of the property, maintains its architectural integrity and often saves clients thousands compared to full replacement.

How it works
Three stages, one point of contact
- 01
Project Brief & Preliminary Estimate
Clients submit photos, measurements and scope details via WhatsApp or email. We review the information, identify constraints and prepare a preliminary estimate. If the estimate is within the client’s budget range, we proceed to a site assessment.
- 02
Site Assessment, Initiation & Planning
We carry out a site assessment to validate the brief, confirm existing conditions and refine the scope. This forms the initiation stage, where objectives, risks, dependencies and required trades are defined. A structured planning phase follows, covering sequencing, procurement, timelines and coordination to ensure controlled project delivery.
- 03
Delivery, Quality Assurance & Handover
Works are executed according to the planned sequence, with coordinated trades and monitored progress. A final quality assurance stage includes snagging, verification of workmanship and site presentation. The project is completed with a formal handover, supported by a 12‑month workmanship guarantee.

FAQs
Questions we get asked
Do you handle full refurbishments, bathrooms, tiling and multi‑trade work, or only joinery?
We began as a joinery and carpentry business, but through long‑term partnerships with trusted collaborators we now deliver full domestic development and complete refurbishments. This includes bathrooms, tiling, plumbing, electrical work, decorating, flooring, strip‑outs and coordinated multi‑trade delivery - alongside our specialist joinery.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We work across all of London, as well as the North side including St Albans, Borehamwood and Potters Bar. Our services cover joinery, domestic development and full refurbishments delivered in partnership with our trusted collaborators.
Are you fully licensed, insured, and certified??
Yes. We are fully insured and qualified in carpentry and joinery, with active membership in the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and ongoing Construction Management studies. All partner trades involved in refurbishments (plumbing, electrical, tiling, decorating and more) are fully qualified and certified in their respective fields. Alongside over two decades of practical experience, we are completing formal Construction Management training through Bath Spa University, strengthening our capability in planning, supervision and project delivery. This development includes modern principles of sustainability, equity, and responsible construction practice, ensuring our work aligns with current industry standards and future‑focused expectations..
What affects how long a project takes?
Every project is unique, so timelines vary depending on the scope. Joinery typically takes 2–6 weeks, while bathrooms, kitchens and full refurbishments depend on materials, trade coordination and site conditions. In construction, time estimates can be challenging because factors such as delivery delays, labour availability, weather and client‑requested variations can influence progress. With over two decades of practical experience and formal Construction Management training through Bath Spa University, we manage these challenges proactively. We adapt quickly, turn issues into solutions and maintain steady progress throughout the project. We work hard to meet agreed schedules, remain transparent at every stage and keep clients fully updated as the project develops..
What materials and finishes do you work with?
The materials used in any project directly reflect the quality of our work, so we select them with care. We choose materials that meet our clients’ requirements and budget without ever compromising the final finish, as poor material choices can damage both the project outcome and our reputation. We remain open to innovation, adopting new methods and modern materials where they offer better performance, durability or sustainability; but only when they meet the standards we expect for long‑lasting, high‑quality results.
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?
We provide a 12‑month workmanship guarantee on all of our work, ensuring quality and durability across joinery, domestic development and full refurbishments. All materials and products used in our projects are covered by their respective manufacturer warranties, and our collaborating provide the appropriate certifications and guarantees for their work.
When do I need to make payments during the project?
Payment schedules depend on the type and scale of the project. For most standard works, no advance payment is required, unless the project involves significant material procurement or bespoke items. Generally, payments are made in stages, with each stage clearly defined and agreed in the contract before work begins. Payment is then due at the end of each completed stage, ensuring transparency and protecting both parties.
