Alex is the joiner behind Box & Beam, based in Morpeth. Fifteen of his jobs, from a hand-cut roof in 2021 to 14 oak doors in Cramlington in September 2026.
Alex supplied the doors, hung them throughout the property, fitted the ironmongery (handles, hinges and latches) and made the finishing adjustments. New flooring and skirting went in on the same job.
Internal and external doors, new floors, and the skirting and finishing joinery around them.
Supplied and fitted four sets of anthracite grey French doors. The hardware was upgraded to satin nickel/chrome handles and Ultion thumb-turn cylinders (a thumb-turn lets you lock and unlock from inside without a key), keyed alike so one key opens every lock.
The old flooring came up, the subfloor was prepared and levelled, and new LVT (luxury vinyl tile) went down. New skirting and the finishing joinery went on after.
First fix is the timber structure, the part that goes in before the roofers, electricians and plasterers arrive. Two of these jobs were for local builders.
Joinery for a local builder on a house extension. That meant the structural timber roof and the floor, working alongside the other trades on site.
About 20m² of pitched warm roof (insulated above the rafters, so the space underneath stays warm). Alex built the main timber structure and got it ready for the roofing, electrics and internal finishing that followed.
Part of a larger job for a local builder. The roof over the new extension was cut by hand from loose timber on site, rather than delivered as ready-made trusses, and stitched into the existing hipped roof (one that slopes down on every side).
Highly recommend Box and Beam joinery. We have had quite a few jobs done by them and they have always been done to a very high standard and are punctual and very reliable.

Tell us what it is and roughly where. Alex will come out, measure up and talk through the options, then put the quote in writing. He charges £250 to £300 a day, takes on small jobs as well as big ones, and leaves the work area clean and tidy.
Pergolas, decks, privacy screens and seating, built to fit the garden, from Cramlington and Blyth to South Shields.
Designed and built a timber pergola, then the joinery around it: planters, sleeper work and seating. Together they make one complete outdoor entertaining area.
A chunky timber pergola over black composite decking, built along the back of a new-build house, with new fencing round it.
Two slatted timber privacy pergolas, with raised sleeper planters, built in a back garden in South Shields.
Outdoor seating and planters for a garden transformation, designed and built to suit the space rather than bought off the shelf.
A completely new subframe in 5x2 treated timber (the frame of joists the boards sit on), then rosewood composite decking on top. Joist hangers and protective joist tape underneath, and concealed clips for a clean finish.

A bar hand made for a venue in Sunderland, a holiday let kitchen in Longframlington, kitchens in Newcastle, and a refurbishment across several rental properties.
A new bar for a venue in Sunderland, hand made and fitted. A long counter with a thick rustic timber top on black posts, over a tiled front.
A new kitchen fitted in a timber lodge holiday let in Longframlington: base and wall units, worktops, the sink, the hob and the oven.
A number of kitchens fitted or altered. The work covered base and wall units, worktops, sinks, appliance openings and the joinery around them, and some were existing kitchens adapted rather than ripped out.
Joinery and refurbishment across several rental properties: replacement kitchens and worktops, rotten floor joists and flooring, internal doors, skirting, handrails, newels and spindles (the posts and uprights of a staircase), loft hatches and general repairs. It was a bigger job, and Alex coordinated the other trades on it.
I got in touch with Alex as I needed some integrated appliances fitted in our kitchen and a new cupboard installed. He was very professional from start to finish. He did a brilliant job, was reliable and tidy, and really took pride in his work. Everything was finished to a high standard and we’re really pleased with the result. Would definitely recommend Alex and will happily use him again in the future.
