A small Hampshire business that started with panelling

We started VIP Walls back in 2007. The early jobs were finish carpentry and traditional wall panelling in people's homes around Hampshire, and all these years later that is still the work we are best known for and the work we enjoy most.

What we make has widened out since then, and almost always because somebody asked. A customer would watch us panelling a hallway and wonder aloud whether we could build wardrobes into the awkward alcove upstairs, or box in a staircase, or make a bed wall for a child's room. So now fitted wardrobes, alcove cabinetry, staircases, kitchens, upholstered walls, children's rooms and garden rooms all come out of the workshop too.

Bradley runs the work and he is the one you deal with the whole way through, from standing in the room on that first visit to sweeping up on the last day. Anything made to measure gets drawn up for you first, so nobody is guessing about what is about to be built.

Linda Barker picked us to take part in 60 Minute Makeover, which was a good day out and not bad exposure for a business our size, and we are proud members of The Guild of Master Craftsmen.

If you have a room in mind, send us a few photographs and rough measurements and we will tell you honestly what we would do with it, including when we think you would be better off leaving it alone.
