What we do

Two trades,
one licence number

Everything below is carpentry or waterproofing — the two trades on licence 389992C — and Edward does it himself.

01Timber roof framing for a verandah addition

Carpentry

Structural and finish carpentry — from roof framing and floor systems through to the trims nobody notices until they're wrong.

  • Roof & floor framing
  • Staircases
  • Doors & window installation
  • Timber linings & fit-out
02Green waterproofing membrane applied to a bathroom floor and hob

Waterproofing

Licensed wet-area and balcony waterproofing, built to the National Construction Code and the membrane manufacturer's system. Screeds set to fall, bond breakers in the corners, two coats, cured properly.

  • Bathrooms & laundries
  • Balconies & decks
  • Screeds & falls
  • Leak repairs & re-do work
03Renovated kitchen with new benchtop and cabinetry

Renovation carpentry

The carpentry and waterproofing in a bathroom, kitchen or room change. Plumbing, electrical, tiling and plastering are quoted and invoiced by those licensed trades directly.

  • Wet-area prep & waterproofing
  • Cabinetry & joinery install
  • Wall removal & reframing
  • Flooring & internal lining
04New merbau deck boards laid alongside a house

Decks & pergolas

Merbau and hardwood decks, verandahs and pergolas built for Northern Rivers weather — proper bearers, proper drainage, proper fixings.

  • Timber decks
  • Pergolas
  • Verandah re-boarding
  • Entry steps & landings

What we don't do: tiling, plastering, plumbing and electrical sit outside our licence. We'll put you onto licensed trades we've worked alongside for years, and they quote and invoice you directly.

Under the surface

The part you'll
never see again

Once the tiles go on, waterproofing becomes invisible — which is exactly why it's the easiest thing to cut corners on. Here's one real bathroom in Woodburn, start to finish.
