    Fitted bespoke oak shelves

    Posted 26 November

    Elijah was excellent and has hand cut/ finished some bespoke shelves in a very awkward location. Very impressed

    skirting boards fitted

    Posted 28 October

    Elijah did not finish the work to fit skirting boards. Unreliable. I have been asking for the work to be finished since April. He had been paid, as he had flooded our lounge. And had taken his money out of the insurance money. I had to get someone else to finish the work. Would not recommend.

    Bespoke oak shelves

    Posted 10 October

    Elijah arrived, gave a fair quote and honest appraisal of the work and when he could do it. Once accepted - he carried out the work (set of bespoke shelves) to a good standard.

Hello I am Elijah, owner of ES Finish Carpentry Ltd, changing then name to AKS STUDIO

A little about me

I specialise in bespoke furniture and fitted joinery, creating made-to-measure pieces that are designed specifically for your space and the way you live.

My work focuses on clean design, quality materials, and careful workmanship. I take a straightforward, professional approach — clear communication, realistic timescales, and a tidy, well-organised process from start to finish. All work is carried out by me personally, so you’ll deal with one person throughout your project.

Having completed part of my training in the United States, I bring a slightly different design influence and attention to detail to each piece. Every project is individually designed and built, rather than adapted from standard units, ensuring a result that feels considered and long-lasting.

Bespoke Joinery & Furniture

My core work includes:

  • Bespoke wardrobes
  • Built-in bookcases & shelving
  • Alcove units
  • TV & media units
  • Kitchens & fitted cabinetry
  • Under-stairs storage
  • Custom furniture pieces

I’m always happy to discuss ideas, layouts, or design options and offer honest advice where needed.

Availability & Contact

I’m available Monday to Friday during working hours.

Outside these hours, you’re welcome to email or request a call back.

If I’m unavailable, please leave a message with your contact details and I’ll return your call as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile — I look forward to discussing your project and providing a free quote or guidance.
