From Somber to Sophisticated: Reimagining a Rhos On Sea Shopfront
Nestled in the heart of Rhos On Sea, a transformation took place. Where once stood a dated aluminum shopfront, associated with a somber past, now shines a revitalized facade, exuding elegance and timeless appeal. We were entrusted with replacing the former funeral director's shopfront, not just with new materials, but with a renewed sense of purpose and character.
Gone is the cold aluminum, replaced by the warmth and richness of Sapele hardwood. Sustainably sourced and meticulously crafted, this resilient wood offers durability and beauty that will stand the test of time. But beauty doesn't stop at material choice. We meticulously painted the Sapele to match the customer's specific RAL code, ensuring a flawless and personalized finish that reflects their unique vision.
This project wasn't just about replacing a facade; it was about breathing new life into a space, transforming its aura from somber to sophisticated. The finished product stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, unwavering dedication, and a commitment to honoring the customer's vision.

fFrom Workshops to Yorkshire Grandeur: Our "The Holiday" Challenge
For a few exciting months, our team at MapleTree swapped workshops for the rolling hills of Yorkshire! This time, NBC's reality show "The Holiday," filmed at the majestic Castle Howard, called upon our expertise.
We tackled a unique set-building challenge. Think intricate gazebos, picturesque walkways, and captivating outdoor spaces, all meticulously crafted to elevate the show's atmosphere. From Building Protection for priceless artefacts to bespoke structures, every detail demanded our passion for precision and adaptability.
Of course, TV production thrives on flexibility. Tight deadlines, last-minute changes, and even Yorkshire's occasional drizzle required quick thinking and seamless collaboration with other departments. But seeing the final product come to life - knowing our work played a pivotal role in the show's success - made it all worthwhile.
This adventure beyond the workshop wasn't just about carpentry; it was about resourcefulness, teamwork, and transforming unexpected opportunities into unforgettable experiences.

Penmaenmawr Dollhouse Factory Restoration: A Legacy Preserved
The historic Dollhouse Factory in Penmaenmawr, once bustling with vibrant toy production, underwent a meticulous restoration. Our team of craftspeople meticulously breathed new life into its weathered structure, paying faithful homage to its past. Grandiose embellishments were not our aim; instead, we strived for faithful preservation, meticulously replicating the original features with specialized tools and techniques. The softwoods of the past were replaced with the durable and sustainable Sapele, ensuring the building's endurance for generations to come. Challenges arose, from sourcing materials to navigating the complexities of historical restoration. Yet, we approached them with dedication and respect for the site's rich heritage. Visitors to the completed project witnessed the painstaking efforts firsthand. The careful restoration served not as a dazzling spectacle, but as a humble tribute to the building's past and a promise for its future.
Beyond the Workshop: My "I'm a Celeb" Experience
Known for my workshop joinery work, I took an unexpected turn years ago, leading a carpentry team for "I'm a Celeb Get Me Out of Here!" at Gwyrch Castle. While not my typical project, it offered a captivating glimpse into the world of reality TV production.
Forget intricate joinery; here, the focus was on functionality and entertainment. Our team transformed raw materials into the trials viewers know and love. Adaptability was crucial, constantly adjusting to ever-evolving designs and the unpredictable Welsh weather.
Beyond construction, we played a vital role in creating the show's essence. Witnessing celebrities interact with our creations, navigating challenges, and experiencing triumphs and tribulations was a unique perspective. It highlighted the collaborative effort behind entertainment, from conception to execution.
This experience, though distinct from my usual, proved valuable. It underscored the importance of teamwork, problem-solving, and quick thinking in a fast-paced environment. While traditional carpentry was involved, it served a specific purpose within the larger spectacle of "I'm a Celeb."
