Interior Carpentry and Joinery by My Space Design
Timber work runs through every finished interior, from the doors you open each day to the skirting that meets the floor. Our Interior Carpentry and Joinery in Lagos covers first fix work such as door linings, stud partitions and grounds for fittings, and second fix work such as hanging doors, fitting architraves, skirting, shelving and ironmongery. Each piece is measured on site and cut to suit real wall and floor levels.
Joinery is the made to order side of the trade: panelled doors, built in bookcases, alcove units, window seats, AC covers, vanity units and reception counters. We work in hardwoods such as iroko, mahogany and teak, and in engineered boards such as plywood, MDF and veneered panels. Hardwoods suit doors and stair parts, while sheet materials suit painted and laminated cabinetry.
Timber in Lagos needs protection from humidity and termites. We use seasoned or kiln dried wood, treat it with preservative, seal end grain and finish surfaces with polyurethane, lacquer or paint. Every bespoke piece starts with a drawing and a cost estimate, whether the job is in Ipaja, elsewhere in Alimosho or across Lagos, and our joinery links with our wardrobe, kitchen and cladding services.
Scope of work
What our interior carpentry and joinery covers
Internal doors and frames
We supply and hang flush, panelled, glazed and pocket doors, fitting hardwood frames, linings, architraves, hinges, locks and door stops so each door closes evenly with a consistent gap and latches cleanly.
Shelving and storage units
Floating shelves, alcove units, bookcases, display niches and media units are built to measure, with concealed brackets or solid supports sized for books, ornaments, speakers and other heavy household loads.
Skirting, architraves and mouldings
We cut and fit skirting boards, architraves, dado rails, picture rails and cornices, scribing them to uneven walls and mitring corners so every joint closes tightly before painting or varnishing.
Wall panelling and partitions
We build timber stud partitions that divide rooms, along with wainscoting and full height panelled walls, using plywood, MDF or hardwood with hidden fixings, ready for paint, veneer or upholstered inserts.
Staircase joinery
We fit timber treads, risers, nosings, handrails, balusters and newel posts, and clad concrete stairs in hardwood to give a warm, consistent finish from the ground floor landing to the upper storey.
Bespoke fittings
Vanity units, window seats, AC casings, TV consoles, reception desks, bar counters and service hatches are designed and made to suit the room, finished in paint, lacquer, laminate or natural timber.
Our process
How we plan and deliver carpentry and joinery work
- Step 1
Site measure
We measure openings, walls, floors and stairs, check for level and plumb, and note services in the walls so fixings avoid hidden pipes and electrical cables.
- Step 2
Drawings and timber selection
For bespoke joinery we prepare shop drawings and agree the timber species, board type, ironmongery and finish, then issue a cost estimate covering materials and labour.
- Step 3
Making and fixing
Components are cut, machined, treated against termites and pre finished where possible. Our carpenters then fix frames, hang doors and install units, packing and scribing each piece to fit.
- Step 4
Finishing and snagging
We fill fixing holes, sand, apply the final coat, fit handles and locks, and walk through every item with you to adjust doors, drawers and joints before handover.
Materials and components
Timber, boards and ironmongery we use
We choose timber and boards by where each piece will sit and how hard it will work. Solid hardwood goes into doors, frames and stair parts, engineered boards go into panelling and cabinetry, and every piece receives termite treatment and a protective finish suited to Lagos humidity.
- Iroko
- Mahogany
- Teak
- Marine plywood
- MDF
- Veneered panels
- Wood preservative
- Polyurethane lacquer
- Butt hinges
- Mortice locks

Questions
Interior Carpentry and Joinery FAQs
How is carpentry and joinery work priced in Lagos?
Interior Carpentry and Joinery in Lagos is costed item by item, based on the timber or board, the size and detail of each piece, the ironmongery and the finish. We measure on site and prepare a cost estimate before any work begins.
Which wood lasts best in Lagos homes?
Iroko, mahogany and teak are dense hardwoods with good natural resistance to moisture and insects, which makes them suitable for doors, frames and stairs. We also treat all timber with preservative and seal it to protect it from humidity.
Can you repair or rehang existing doors?
Yes. We ease sticking doors, replace worn hinges and locks, repair split frames and refit architraves. Where a door or frame has rotted or been damaged by termites, we replace it with treated timber and refinish it to match the others.
Can you build fitted shelving and TV units?
Yes. Our Interior Carpentry and Joinery in Lagos includes fitted shelving, TV consoles, window seats, vanity units and counters, all built to measure. For larger storage projects, we also offer Built-In Wardrobe Design and Installation and Kitchen Cabinet Design and Installation.
