The houses here

Why a standard one will not fit.

Dalston is our own village. Bob Postlethwaite started the firm here in 1972 and we have never been anywhere else. The village runs from the older sandstone cottages and the terraces round the square out to the newer estates on the Carlisle side. In between are farms and converted buildings along the Caldew. We have fitted furniture in a good many of these houses. In several of them more than once.

Being a mile from the job has a practical effect people underestimate. If something needs adjusting after the fit, it is not a scheduling problem. It is a van and ten minutes. The same holds in five years when a hinge goes. The workshop that made the door is still here, and still has the drawing.

We make fitted bedrooms and fitted wardrobes for houses across Carlisle, Penrith and the rest of Cumbria. Because we cut the carcasses, the wardrobes finish at your ceiling. The run finishes at your wall. The sloping ceiling in the back bedroom stops being a reason you cannot have storage there.

Dalston: the questions we get

You are actually based in Dalston, not just serving it?

The workshop is at Lingey Close, in the village. It has been on that site since 1972. The showroom, the machine shop and the paint shop are all on the same site. The vans go out from here.

Can I look round the workshop?

Ask when you come to the showroom. It is a working shop with machinery running, so it is not an open house. But people who want to see where their kitchen will be made are generally the people we most like talking to.

Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?

Yes, and it is one of the better reasons to have them made. A slope beats standard units completely. On a drawing it is only an angle. The space under it is usually the only spare storage in the room.

Do the wardrobes go right up to the ceiling?

If you want them to. We cut the carcasses, so the height is set by your ceiling and not by what a supplier stocks. It usually gains a full shelf across the whole wall.
