Peter Berrecloth
Carpentry & Joinery

About me
After a 20 years as a product designer, I left behind my profession to work as a carpenter.

I trained part-time at London School of Furniture Making under Helen Welch, where I learnt joinery with traditional hand tools. In 2019, I began renovating our Victorian property, and fell in love with the trades.

After being asked by local neighbours about my work, I eventually started a company. I have so far built garden rooms, decking, bespoke garden furniture and shop fitting for clients in Barnet and North London.
