One workshop, several names
Bryn Hall is one of four names working out of the same yard on Stonham Road at Mickfield, in Suffolk. The same cabinet makers, the same finishing shop and the same site team are behind all of them. What changes is the brief.
Why there is more than one name
Reeve & Co Interiors Ltd has been making bespoke joinery in Suffolk since 2015, and the Reeve family has been in the trade since the early 1980s. As the work specialised, parts of it earned their own names, their own catalogues and their own customers — a furniture name, a kitchen name, and a sporting-storage name. They are not separate factories. They are the same benches and the same people, addressed to different briefs.
Alongside them sits Old Fashioned Bathrooms, a separate company run by the same family from the same site. Between the businesses, a whole house can be specified, made and fitted from one place in Suffolk — which is usually simpler for the client, and always simpler for the main contractor.
The four names
Fine English furniture, made to order
Bryn Hall
You are on this site.
What it is. Freestanding English furniture made to order — tables, chairs, dressers, sideboards, beds, wardrobes, desks and cabinets — in oak, cherry, mahogany and walnut. Nothing is held in stock. Every piece is made from scratch to the dimensions, timber and finish the customer asks for, then polished and delivered by the workshop that built it.
The collections. Ten named ranges give the work a starting point rather than a limit: Denbigh, Oakamoor, Pendleton, Ruthin, Montgomeryshire, Rowton, Windrush, Gothic, Coach House and Georgian. Choose the range that suits the room, then change the length, the height, the timber or the detail until it fits. Most orders end up somewhere between a catalogue piece and a bespoke one, which is precisely the point.
Matching what is already there. A good deal of the work is making something to sit beside furniture a family already owns — a second dresser for a longer wall, a table to match inherited chairs, a wardrobe in the same mahogany as a Victorian original. Timber selected for grain and colour, mouldings copied properly, polish matched by eye rather than by code. It is the hardest thing we do and the reason a great many people call us.
How to start. Timber and finish samples are £10 each, refunded against your order, and posted out before you commit to anything. There is a printed catalogue. Workshop visits are by appointment.
Bespoke architectural joinery
Reeve & Co Interiors
What it is. The original business and the one the others grew out of. Bespoke architectural joinery for high-end residential and design-led projects — fitted furniture, panelling, staircases, studies and libraries, and the complicated one-off pieces nobody else will quote.
Scale. Commissions run from around £5,000 for a single piece to around £600,000 for a whole-house package, drawn in 3D CAD, set out full size as a rod, made at Mickfield and installed by our own team. Most of the work comes through architects, interior designers and main contractors, in London and across the country.
Where it meets Bryn Hall. Fitted joinery and freestanding furniture are different crafts that happen to share a workshop. On a whole-house project the fitted work — the panelling, the wardrobes, the library — comes from Reeve & Co, and the loose pieces that furnish the finished rooms come from Bryn Hall, in the same timbers and the same finishes. Clients who want one and not the other are equally welcome.
Bespoke hand-painted English kitchens
Square & True
What it is. The kitchen work of this workshop under its own name. Kitchens had grown into a discipline of their own — their own drawing conventions, their own suppliers, their own way of talking to clients — and it made more sense to give them a name than to keep them as a line item on a joinery quotation. Nine people at Mickfield draw, make, hand-paint and fit them.
How they are made. Everything is set out full size before anything is machined. It is a slow way to start and it removes most of the arguments later, because the client and the designer have seen the real proportions rather than a render. Carcasses and frames are cut and jointed in the workshop, hand-painted in our own finishing shop, dry-assembled and signed off before they are loaded, then fitted by the people who made them. Nothing is bought in as a flat pack and nothing is handed to a sub-contract fitter.
What it does best. In-frame and hand-painted kitchens for period houses, listed buildings and lateral conversions, where nothing is square and nothing standard will fit; and quieter contemporary work for architects who want cabinetry that behaves like furniture. Sculleries, pantries, boot rooms and utility rooms are usually part of the same commission.
What it costs. Square & True publishes its prices, which is unusual in this trade. A kitchen typically runs from around £45,000 to £62,000 and upwards depending on the size of the room, the materials and how much of the house is involved.
Where it meets Bryn Hall. A kitchen and a dining table made in the same building, in the same timber, finished by the same polisher, will match. Bought separately, they rarely do.
Gun cabinets and sporting storage
Sporting Cabinetmakers
What it is. Gun storage has quietly become one of the things this workshop is best known for, and it now has its own name: fitted gun rooms, steel-lined rooms, bespoke gun cabinets and sporting storage.
The point of it. Secure storage that is made as furniture rather than bought as a steel box and hidden in a cupboard — built to the relevant security requirements, in timber matched to the rest of the joinery in the house. In a panelled study or a boot room, it belongs there.
Traditional and period bathrooms
Old Fashioned Bathrooms
A separate company, run by the same family from the same site at Mickfield, specialising in traditional, vintage and period bathroom suites, brassware, fittings and tiles — with a showroom in Suffolk and a good deal of stock that is not available elsewhere in the UK.
We mention it because a period house that wants a Welsh dresser usually wants a bathroom in the same language, and because the joinery in a bathroom — a panelled bath surround, a vanity in solid timber, cupboards in an awkward eaves space — is made in this workshop anyway. They quote and contract separately from us.
One yard, one standard
Everything above is made or supplied from the same site on Stonham Road at Mickfield, between Stowmarket and Debenham. The workshop runs on solar generated on its own roofs, heats itself by burning its own waste timber, and has EV charging in the yard. Visitors are welcome by appointment — it is a working shop rather than a showroom, and it is usually more useful to see it that way.
Reeve & Co Interiors, Square & True, Bryn Hall and Sporting Cabinetmakers are trading names of Reeve & Co Interiors Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 09593800. Old Fashioned Bathrooms is operated by Reeve & Co (Bathroom and Tiles) Ltd, a separate company under the same family ownership.

Four names, one workshop
Square & True, Bryn Hall and Sporting Cabinetmakers are trading names of Reeve & Co Interiors Ltd. Old Fashioned Bathrooms is the bathroom company in the same yard at Mickfield. We keep them separate because someone looking for a kitchen, a dining table or a gun cabinet is better served by a specialist than by a category page — but the drawings, the bench, the spray shop and the fitting team are the same, so finishes match across whatever you order.
