The foundation of any well-built home lies not only in the bricks and mortar, but in the meticulous timberwork that holds it all together. From structural frames to the finest finishing touches, quality carpentry is what truly defines great construction.
At TNK Construction Ltd, we believe that every project deserves this level of precision—because in carpentry, every cut counts.

Why Carpentry Is the Backbone of Construction
At its core, carpentry is the craft that brings structure and refinement to construction. Here’s how:
Structural Timber Framing: The bones of walls, floors and roofs.
First-Fix Carpentry: Installing frameworks before plastering and fitting services.
Second-Fix Carpentry: Fitting doors, skirting boards, window sills, architraves and staircases.
Custom Joinery: Built-in furniture, alcove units, bespoke shelving and cabinetry.
Whether you're extending a period property in Islington or modernising a townhouse in Southwark, exceptional carpentry ensures strength, function and visual appeal.

The Role of Precision in Home Building
Precision in carpentry means tight joins, level finishes, seamless edges and symmetrical alignments. At TNK Construction, we use digital carpentry tools, laser levels and calibrated saws to guarantee that every element lines up perfectly.

Hackney and Clapham shows the power of measured framing and detailed staircases.
Barnet and Croydon features robust timber structures and internal partitioning.
