Whoever sells the equipment should be able to fix it.
Cellar design and construction, cabinet repair, bespoke timber cladding — we do this work ourselves rather than subcontracting it to trades unfamiliar with wine storage.
The hard part of a broken wine cabinet is rarely the repair. It is finding anyone willing to look at it — particularly grey-market units, discontinued models, or machines the manufacturer stopped supporting years ago.
We repair wine cabinets of every brand, regardless of where they were originally purchased. We diagnose the symptom, then tell you whether it is worth repairing and roughly how much longer the unit will last — rather than defaulting to “buy a new one”.
Not cooling, insufficient cooling, temperature drifting
Compressor noise, running without cycling off
Perished door seals, condensation, frost
Control board failure, display faults
Warped timber shelving, damaged runners
Discontinued models, grey imports, machines the factory no longer services
We confirm the likely fault and the cost range with you before starting. No mid-job additions.
We work out whether it is worth repairing and how much life is left in it, rather than defaulting to a replacement.
Wine Cellar
From a room to a cellar
A cellar is not primarily about how it looks. It is about whether it can hold wine properly for years.
We handle the whole thing: survey, insulation and vapour control, selection of climate equipment, storage capacity, circulation and lighting.
Survey
Measure the space, confirm power supply and drainage.
Design
Capacity and equipment specified to the collection and the budget.
Insulation and vapour control
Get this wrong and every piece of equipment afterwards is wasted effort.
Construction
Climate unit, racking, joinery and lighting integrated.
Aftercare
Handover is not the end. Maintenance stays with us.
Cellar racking under construction. Shelving is configured to the number of bottles and how they are accessed, with clearance retained for equipment.
Joinery
Making a cabinet look less like an appliance
A professional wine cabinet dropped into a living or dining room rarely sits well with the rest of the interior.
Bespoke timber cladding: a surround made to the dimensions of the machine and the language of the room, so the cabinet reads as joinery rather than equipment — while retaining the ventilation clearance the unit needs. Many interior contractors overlook that clearance, and it directly shortens the life of the cabinet.
Hinoki mortise-and-tenon dining tables: built with traditional joinery rather than metal fixings, so the structure settles and strengthens over time, and the grain and scent develop with use.
