Projects typically begin with a site visit to discuss your ideas and requirements, and to look at the space where your bespoke fitted furniture is to be built. We will then provide a no-obligation quote and an idea of timescales, usually within 48 hours.
If you are happy to proceed, we will then begin work on an initial design. When drawings are ready we will contact you to arrange a second site visit. Any necessary changes to the design can then be made, and the finer details discussed. Drawings will then be submitted to you for sign-off, and the exact installation date will be arranged.
As much of the work as possible will be done in our Bristol workshop to cut down on installation time and reduce inconvenience to you at home or work.
When your project is ready, we will install it on site.

We hit upon Matthew Durkan’s library shelving via Pinterest and what a stroke of good fortune!
We spotted a set of shelves which really appealed and I rather speculatively made an enquiry by email fearing, unnecessarily as it turned out, that we are too far from Bristol in south Wiltshire to even be considered. Instead Matt told us how much that particular unit had cost and we were able to then give him our spec’ and his resultant quote fitted perfectly into our budget.
He made two advance visits to measure up, make sensible suggestions and provide drawings which gave us added confidence and he followed this up with an exact schedule of when they would arrive and which phase would be completed on which day. Needless to say the entire project ran precisely to timetable: the shelving units and cupboards were constructed on site and then painted in our chosen Farrow & Ball colour.
It seems like an understatement to say that we are delighted with the overall result. The standard of craftsmanship is superb, the units are very robust and, once my clutter is sorted, the library will look stunning. Nothing was too much trouble and I can highly recommend Matt’s business as a first choice for any would-be home library aspirant.

Matt designed and built a large library wall in our sitting room. We had met with a few carpenters with no luck but immediately felt comfortable with Matt. He was very patient as we configured the plans and was understanding throughout the entire process. He reworked the plans multiple times without hesitation to meet our desired specs. Matt and his team were professional, meticulous and were happy to discuss adjustments even as they were installing! The library wall looks incredible and everyone comments on the quality of the joinery. I would highly recommend working with Matt Durkan – his attention to detail and the care he puts into his work is unparalleled.

We are absolutely delighted with the shelves, coving and step that Matt and his team created and installed for us. The whole process from initial visit to installation was very professional, exceeded our expectations and I would happily recommend Durkan Design & Build to anyone (and have done so already).
Kate Lover, Horfield, Bristol
This is exactly the guy you need to install your shelves. It has been a pleasure working with Matt. Every stage has been hassle free but professional and informative. The end result is exactly what we wanted and has been finished to a very high standard. No mess either. Such skill. Thank you for a great job.
