What Sets MJ Kloss Apart
Getting Ready
London homes are seldom square. We measure, inspect and scribe to the walls and floors that exist, ensuring everything fits on the first attempt.
Quality of Work
Our carpenters craft neat mitres, ensure joints fit tightly, and fasten everything firmly in place, using high-grade timber and fixings chosen specifically for the job.
Completion
All nail holes are filled and each edge is sealed, leaving the woodwork ready for decoration. Should you want it painted or varnished, our in-house decorators can complete the work.
How We Can Help
Doors
New interior doors can give an entire home a lift. Our carpenters hang them squarely and install the handles, hinges and locks, as well as easing or adjusting existing doors that stick, drop or will not latch.
Panelling, architraves and skirting
Whether we're replacing a damaged section of skirting or adding shaker panelling to a hallway, we install trims and panels snugly against walls and floors, ready to decorate.
Floors
Our laminate, engineered wood and solid wood floors are fitted on a flat, correctly prepared subfloor with suitable underlay, and we finish the edges tidily so they look and last their best.
Partition walls and boxing-in
Our team puts up timber stud partitions to separate rooms and tidy boxing-in to conceal unsightly pipes, adding access panels wherever you need them.
Carpentry for schools and businesses
MJ Kloss performs carpentry repairs and upgrades for offices, shops and schools, scheduling the work around opening times or holiday periods.
Panelling Styles Our Customers Love
Panelling for walls ranks among the carpentry jobs requested most often. Below are the most sought-after designs:
- Shaker – plain square frames that work well in traditional and modern homes alike
- Half-height panelling – a timeless option for stairs and hallways, fitted below dado height
- Board and batten – upright battens that give a clean, modern finish
- Full-height panelling – running from floor to ceiling, perfect for bedrooms and feature walls
After fitting, our decorators can paint the panelling whatever colour you choose, leaving it fully finished on your wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to hang doors I have already purchased?
Yes. We can hang doors you've picked out and install the handles, hinges and latches too. If you're still deciding, our estimator can guide you on sizes, styles and the hardware you need.
Can you sort out a door that sticks or doesn't shut?
In most cases, yes. A door may stick because its hinges are loose, it has swollen with the seasons or the building has settled over time. Our carpenters will work out why, then adjust, plane or rehang it to make it open and close smoothly.
Are you able to replicate period skirting and architraves?
Usually, yes. Plenty of traditional profiles are still made, so we can generally get very close to older mouldings. If we can't match one exactly, our estimator will explain the choices available to you.
Can you fit wood and laminate flooring?
Yes. We fit laminate, engineered wood and solid wood floors. Prior to fitting, we inspect and level the subfloor, install the right underlay, and give boards time to acclimatise to the room when needed so they will not shift once laid.
Can you paint or varnish the woodwork after completion?
Yes. This is one way MJ Kloss differs. With our established decorating team, we can prime, paint, stain or varnish the new doors, skirting, panelling and trims, leaving the work fully finished.
