ILLUSTRATIVE ALCOVE LAYOUT
A place for what matters
Storage below.
Personality above.
Books, records, favourite objects and things you’d rather put away. An alcove can do more than fill a gap: it can give the room useful storage and a considered focal point.
Neart Construction offers alcove storage across Cardiff and South Wales. Share photographs, approximate dimensions and your priorities with Greg so we can discuss the proposed layout and information needed for a quote.
Tell us about your space ↗Explore the possibilities
A useful fit.
Your own balance.
Start with what you want to store or display, then consider how the units will sit within the room.
Plan the complete recess
Good proportions.
Practical details.
Consider the wall, furniture and contents together before settling on a finished look.
Understand the actual space.
Share measurements and photographs of each recess. Uneven walls, differing widths and existing skirting affect the layout and how the joinery meets the room.
Think about what belongs inside.
Measure larger items and consider door openings, shelf heights and everyday access. Books and equipment have different storage needs from small display pieces.
Keep connections accessible.
Flag sockets, controls and devices you want to include. Discuss cable routes, access and any product ventilation requirements before enclosing equipment.
Bring the room together.
Share references for doors, handles, materials and colour. Confirm which preparation, fitting and decorating work is included in the quote.
Working around a chimney breast
Respect the room.
Consider what’s there.
Tell us about the existing construction and any fireplace, stove or access features before choosing the layout.
Share the appliance details if a fire or stove is in use. Any relevant clearances, access and installation requirements need consideration before nearby storage is agreed.
Flag staining, recurring damp or loose surfaces. The condition underneath should be understood before a fitted unit covers the area. Photographs are a starting point, rather than confirmation of suitability.

Understanding the quote
What shapes
the cost?
The width of an alcove is only part of the picture. Layout, materials and detailing all affect the work involved.
Discuss your ideas ↗Size & existing features
Dimensions, wall condition, skirting and surrounding details help define the scope.
Cupboards & shelves
The number of sections, doors and shelves affects the configuration and specification.
Materials & hardware
Profiles, surface finishes, handles and other fittings need consideration alongside the layout.
Finishing & related work
Agree any preparation, painting, cable access or other work included or arranged separately.
For a useful first conversation
Send a wide room photograph, close-ups and approximate dimensions for each recess. Include a list of contents, design references, your budget range and preferred dates.
Your questions
Before we fit.
Can I have cupboards below and shelving above?
Discuss what you want to store and display. The cupboard height, shelf spacing and overall proportions can then be considered against your room’s dimensions.
Can you work with uneven alcoves?
Share photographs and measurements of each recess. Existing walls and features need consideration before the layout and fitting details are defined.
Do both sides need to match?
No, the conversation can explore matching fronts or different layouts on each side. Tell us how you want to use each alcove and what balance you prefer.
Can shelves hold books or records?
Tell us the intended contents and approximate sizes. Shelf spans, materials and support need to suit the proposed use rather than appearance alone.
Can TV equipment be included?
Share device dimensions, connection details and any ventilation requirements. Discuss cable access and controls before equipment is enclosed.
Can an alcove include a desk?
Tell us how you want to work in the space. Available depth, legroom, chair movement, equipment and power access need consideration before a desk layout is agreed.
Is painting included?
Confirm this during the quoting conversation. Discuss preparation, colour and finish, including which work is included or arranged separately.
How long will installation take?
The programme depends on the size, materials, preparation and finishing work. Share your preferred dates so the scope and supply arrangements can be discussed together.
Where do you work?
We cover Cardiff, Penarth, Barry, Dinas Powys, Caerphilly, Newport, Cwmbran, Blackwood, Pontypridd, Llantrisant, Cowbridge and Bridgend. Share your postcode when you get in touch.
