Bespoke Joinery in Stockport & Cheshire

At Hive Design & Build, we create bespoke joinery that’s built to last and tailored to how you live.
From media walls with fireplaces to Victorian wall panelling, Shaker wall panels, headboard panelling, alcove cupboards, internal doors and oak & glass staircases, everything is designed, made and fitted by time-served joiners.

We work across Stockport, Cheshire and South Manchester, bringing high-quality, approachable luxury to period homes, 1930s properties and modern builds alike.

Bespoke Media Walls

A custom media wall is one of the best ways to turn a plain room into a relaxing, cinema-style space. Media walls have become a go-to feature in homes across Manchester and Cheshire, combining storage, lighting and a clean way to hide cables

Media Walls with Fireplaces

We design and build:

  • Media wall fireplaces are perfectly sized openings for your living space

  • Media walls with log burners and storageshelves, cupboards and display niches built around the TV

  • Media wall with fireplace and  al shelves are ideal if you want both warmth and space for books, decor and extra storage

We can design a bespoke media wall that suits your room, budget and style.

Bedroom & Feature Media Walls

For snug lounges or bedrooms we can create:

  • Bedroom media wall units with are a great way to save space.

  • Media wall with panelling, we can combine Shaker or slatted detail to your walls to compliment your TV recess

  • We can provide a fixed quotation on media wall cost and options that work within your budget

Wall Panelling – Victorian, Shaker & Headboards

Wall panelling is a simple way to add character and a high-end finish to any room.

Victorian Wall Panelling & Wainscoting

For period homes and 1930s properties we often install:

  • Victorian wall panels and traditional Victorian wall panelling

  • Victorian style wall panels / Victorian panelling for walls at dado or full height

  • Feature walls for hallways, landings, dining rooms and home offices

This style works brilliantly in Cheshire homes that already have original details like coving and deep skirtings.

Shaker Wall Panels

If you prefer something a little cleaner and more contemporary:

  • Shaker wall panelling sized to suit your ceiling height

  • Perfect for bedrooms, living rooms and behind media walls

We carefully lay out the panel spacing so everything sits neatly around sockets, radiators and doors.

Headboard Panelling

We also build headboard panelling to give bedrooms a boutique-hotel feel:

  • Full-width headboard wall panels behind the bed

  • Slim panelled headboard designs for smaller rooms

If you’ve been saving ideas for a statement wall headboard, we can turn them into a practical design.

Internal Doors

New internal doors can completely change how your home feels. Many local joinery firms treat doors as an add-on; we treat them as a key part of the overall design, from frames and architraves to hardware and finishes.

We can supply and fit:

  • Solid and veneered oak internal doors

  • Glazed internal doors to bring more light through hallways

  • Simple panelled doors that tie in with your Shaker wall panels or Victorian wall panelling

If you’re looking for bespoke joinery in the Stockport area, we can update one door or coordinate a full-house change-over.

Oak & Glass Staircases

Your staircase is often the first thing guests see, it deserves the same attention to detail as your kitchen or media wall. Across Stockport and Cheshire, oak and glass staircases have become a popular way to modernise older homes while keeping the warmth of timber.

We can:

  • Renovate existing stairs with oak treads, risers and handrails

  • Add glass balustrades for a lighter, more open feel

  • Design luxury staircases that link with your internal doors and panelling

  • Coordinate finishes so the hallway, landing and stairs feel like one considered space
