    Excellent again

    Posted 05 March

    Elijah did some excellent panelling for us and replaced a handrail, all in one day at a very fair price. Second time Elijah has done work in our house and definitely won’t be the last!

    This company will not let you down 👍🏾

    Posted 26 February

    We were urgently in need of a replacement bathroom flooring but when works began we discovered a new bath was also required to. However this was no problem the company with our authority got on to the job and all was completed.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elijah

    Posted 23 January

    We have NEVER before been blessed with the good fortune of having such a diligent/efficient/reliable/reasonably priced artisan carry out work at our home, (not to mention manage several small teams of additional independent skilled personnel) over a period of weeks and months as Elijah. He is a delight to have around and simply just GETS ON WITH IT. What more do any of us want ? The world needs more Elijah’s. 🙏

    Reliable, on time and goes the extra mile

    Posted 03 January

    We were thrilled with our wardrobes and playroom they look great. We also hadn’t moved into our house whilst it was being done and he went the extra mile to accept packages etc for us. Couldn’t recommend more. He is now building another wardrobe and potentially reconfiguring our utility room.

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.
