Leeds & West Yorkshire Joinery
Handmade Alcove Joinery Tailored to Your Home
The recesses flanking your fireplace or chimney breast offer the greatest storage and styling potential in your home. Flat-pack shelving rarely fits standard alcove widths and quickly sags under the weight of books and decorative pieces.
At RB Carpentry Services, we craft heavy-duty floating shelves and seamless base cupboards that maximize every millimetre. Whether you want a contemporary media wall with recessed TV and electric fire, or traditional Victorian shaker cabinets with open wood log storage, we bring your vision to life.

Alcove Units FAQ
Helpful details about our bespoke alcove joinery in Leeds.
Yes! Period properties across Leeds and West Yorkshire rarely have straight walls or square corners. Every alcove cabinet and floating shelf is individually scribed and planed on-site to fit perfectly flush against your unique wall contours without visible gaps.
Absolutely. We specialize in integrated media walls and alcove units. We route cables neatly behind false fascias and incorporate internal grommets, ventilated media cupboards, and access points for Sky boxes, PlayStations, and Wi-Fi routers.
Yes. Many of our clients with wood burners or fireplaces love integrated log stores beneath their alcove cabinets. We also install channel routing for subtle warm LED under-shelf lighting.
We typically use high-density moisture-resistant (MR) Medite MDF for smooth, durable painted finishes that won't warp or crack with fireplace heat. We also craft chunky solid oak shelving, oak worktops, and veneered cabinetry depending on your style.
Cost depends on the size of the alcoves, whether you want floating shelves only, base cabinets only, or full-height media wall units with lighting. We provide transparent, no-obligation quotes tailored to your exact design.
