Jamie Lockett

/ About Jamie

25 Years of Craft.
Built on Reputation.

I'm Jamie Lockett, a master carpenter and furniture maker based in Mansfield — a town I've called home for over 15 years. I started Carved LTD with one simple belief: that quality craftsmanship should never be a compromise.

Over 25 years I've worked on everything from small household jobs to large-scale industrial buildings and full housing developments. No matter the size of the project, you'll always get the same thing from me — the highest quality workmanship and first-class service, from the first conversation to the final finish.

Alongside my joinery and building work, I create bespoke custom furniture entirely from scratch — dining tables, coffee tables, bedside tables — each one made to your exact specification. I ship furniture UK-wide, and can arrange EU shipping on a case-by-case basis. Average project time is 2–4 weeks, and pricing is always based on the specific brief.

/ Our Work

Built With Pride.
Finished to Last.

Every project below was designed and built by Jamie — from bespoke furniture to full building works.

Bespoke Black Dining Table
Custom Furniture

Bespoke Black Dining Table

UK-wide shipping

This striking dining table was built entirely from scratch using solid hardwood, hand-finished in a deep matte black that highlights the natural grain. Every joint is mortise-and-tenon — no screws, no shortcuts — creating a piece that will outlast anything available on the high street. The dimensions were drawn to the customer's exact brief, fitting a specific dining room alcove no off-the-shelf table could reach. Bespoke furniture like this adds genuine character and lasting value to a home. Available for UK-wide delivery, with shipping cost included in the quote.

Handcrafted Furniture Collection
Custom Furniture

Handcrafted Furniture Collection

UK-wide shipping

A series of coordinated pieces created for a single client — each made to the same timber specification and finish so they work as a matched set across different rooms. When a customer wants their home to feel cohesive rather than assembled from a catalogue, this is the approach. Every piece in this collection was crafted to exact dimensions with consistent grain direction and a hand-applied oil finish. Mass-produced furniture cannot replicate this level of considered design. Average lead time for a multi-piece commission is 4–6 weeks.

Artisan Coffee Table
Custom Furniture

Artisan Coffee Table

UK-wide shipping

A low-profile coffee table with a live-edge slab top and hand-turned legs — the kind of piece you simply cannot find in a furniture shop. The live-edge format means no two are ever identical; the natural form of the timber dictates the final shape. The base was designed to complement without competing, keeping the eye on the wood itself. This table was shipped from Mansfield to a customer in London, delivered safely with full packaging. A standard quote for a piece like this includes materials, build time, and UK delivery.

Fitted Kitchen Joinery
Joinery

Fitted Kitchen Joinery

Kitchen joinery is one of the most demanding areas of carpentry — cabinets must be perfectly level, doors must hang true, and every panel must align across an often imperfect space. Jamie handles the full installation from carcase fitting through to door hanging, worktop cutting, and plinth finishing. Unlike flat-pack installers, all work is built to site rather than forced to fit. The result is a kitchen that looks purpose-built because it was. Ideal for homeowners who have purchased a quality kitchen and want it installed properly the first time.

Staircase & Balustrade
Joinery

Staircase & Balustrade

A staircase is structural as well as aesthetic — the joinery must meet Building Regulations for rise, going, and balustrade spacing, while the finish needs to hold up to daily foot traffic for decades. Jamie designs and builds staircases from first principles: string layout, tread cutting, riser fitting, newel post installation, and balustrade construction. Whether it's a replacement staircase in a period property or a contemporary open-riser design for a new build, the approach is the same: engineered to be safe, built to be beautiful, finished to last.

Loft Conversion
Renovation

Loft Conversion

Converting a loft adds usable floor space without extending the building's footprint — making it one of the highest-return home improvement projects available. The carpentry work involves cutting back rafters, installing a new structural floor, fitting a staircase, and framing the dormer or roof-light if required. Jamie manages the full joinery scope and works alongside the wider trades needed for insulation, boarding, and finishing. Most loft conversions Jamie works on add a bedroom or home office. Planning rules for permitted development mean many conversions in Mansfield and surrounding areas don't require a full planning application.

What Our Customers Say

Jamie built us a dining table from scratch and it's absolutely stunning. Exactly what we described, delivered perfectly on time. The craftsmanship is on another level — nothing like what you'd find in a shop.

Sarah M.

Kirkby-in-Ashfield

Had Jamie do our kitchen fitting after a previous carpenter left the job unfinished. He sorted everything out, doors hung properly, worktop perfectly aligned. Couldn't recommend more highly.

David H.

Sutton-in-Ashfield

Commissioned a bespoke coffee table — shipped to us in London without a scratch. The quality is incredible and the price was fair for the work involved. Will definitely be ordering again.

Rachel T.

Rainworth

Jamie managed our full loft conversion from the carpentry side — brilliant communication throughout, showed up exactly when he said he would and the finish is perfect. Total professional.

Mark B.

Market Warsop

We had a new staircase installed and it looks incredible. Jamie explained every stage clearly, kept the site tidy and finished ahead of schedule. The quality of the joinery is exceptional.

Karen L.

Shirebrook

Got a bespoke bedside table made — gave Jamie a rough sketch and he turned it into something far better than I imagined. Great attention to detail, genuinely lovely to work with.

Emma W.

Ravenshead

Hired Jamie for a barn conversion project — complex structural carpentry handled confidently and professionally. He flagged things during the build that saved us a lot of hassle down the line.

James R.

Blidworth

Small domestic job but treated with the same care as a big project. Fixed our broken banister and replaced some flooring — neat, clean, done right first time. Highly recommend.

Tracey A.

Clipstone

Jamie built us a garden room from the frame up — solid construction, great finish. He's clearly someone who takes real pride in his work. Already planning to commission garden furniture next.
