Bespoke craftsmanship with NU and Cochrane Bespoke

Finding furniture and joinery that fits the dimensions of a particular room is usually impossible off the shelf. That is the gap NU Projects and Cochrane Bespoke fill, for commercial and private clients, at whatever size the project happens to be.

What We Offer

NU Projects and Cochrane Bespoke make high end furniture and joinery. Carpentry, upholstery, spray finishing, metalwork and the final finishing all happen under one roof, which is why a piece does not have to travel between four subcontractors to get made.

Our Strengths

  • Project management. From the first brief through design, manufacture, installation and aftercare, with the same people on it throughout.
  • Experience. Years of it, on work from a single cabinet to a whole house of fitted joinery.
  • Accountability. If a piece is not right, it is ours to put right. One party made it, so there is nobody to point at.
  • Quick quotes. A slow quotation holds up a whole programme, so ours come back fast.
  • Accurate quotations. Priced from the drawings, so the figure at the end is the figure at the start.
  • Realistic lead times. Told to you at the start, and planned into the site programme rather than discovered later.

The range of trades in one workshop is what lets us say yes to a detail that would otherwise be redrawn to suit a machine.

The team behind the craft

The workshop is makers and engineers together, which is the combination a one off piece needs. Somebody has to draw it, somebody has to work out how it holds together, and somebody has to cut it.

The workshop

Our joinery workshop is in Isleworth, in west London, with modern machinery alongside the hand tools. Traditional technique and modern method both, because some jobs want a machine and some want a person. Being close to the sites we work on keeps delivery predictable.
