ACANTHUS
Carpentry & Joinery
Bespoke and custom-fit carpentry, built to last.
About Me
My name is Ed, and I'm a carpenter and joiner based in Cardiff. I love building things out of wood, and the challenge of creating functional and beautiful spaces for my clients.
I draw from a wide range of experience from full log cabins to side tables; I bring efficiency and attention to detail to every project. If you can dream it, I can build it for you.
What I Do
Fitted Furniture
Fitted wardrobes, home offices, media walls, alcove units, and understairs storage. Each piece is built to the exact dimensions of the space and finished to feel like it was always part of the house.
Outdoor Structures
Pergolas, garden buildings, handmade garden furniture, and bespoke structures built around how you want to use your outdoor space. Built to withstand the weather and the test of time.
Bespoke Projects
One-off furniture and custom projects. Wine racks, side tables, log furniture, display shelving, van conversions, or anything that starts with an idea and needs someone to make it real.
General and Renovation
Kitchen fitting, door fitting, plasterboarding, partition walls, repairs, and the general carpentry work.

My bookcases were securely fixed to the wall, and the doors were fitted perfectly with great attention to detail. The workmanship was excellent. Ed also refitted some loose curtain poles very effectively. Everything was left tidy, and the whole job […]

“I have no clue how he managed it, but with a few rough suggestions and ideas from us, Ed at Acanthus created a bespoke coffee table which skilfully and creatively ties our whole living room together. The woodwork is stunning. I can’t imagine our space without it now!”
Millie
“I contacted Acanthus when I needed the cabinets in my camper replacing… Ed did an amazing job. Not only does it look fantastic, but he engineered loads of smart, practical, space-saving storage – I’ve got tons more useable space than before! Highly reccommend.”
