Considered Renovations. Crafted Interiors.

At Sanctuary, we deliver considered, design-led renovation projects that balance structure, craftsmanship and how a home supports the way you live.

Our approach is holistic — shaping homes as complete environments. Every project is guided by how spaces are experienced day to day, with careful attention to proportion, material quality, functionality and overall composition. We believe the most successful renovations are the ones that feel inevitable — calm, coherent and properly resolved. It comes from clear thinking, careful detailing, and taking responsibility for the whole outcome.

About

Behind Sanctuary

Sanctuary is led by Evan Jewers, whose background in detailed carpentry and renovation shapes a practical, design-conscious approach to each project.

His perspective is grounded in how homes are experienced over time — through calm spaces, considered materials, light and air quality, thoughtful detailing and a lasting sense of comfort.

Who We Are

Our work spans whole-house renovations, extensions and conversions, delivered from the underlying build through to finely detailed interiors.

We also undertake carefully considered single-room transformations - including kitchens, bathrooms, boot rooms and home offices - alongside bespoke fitted furniture and integrated joinery designed to enhance both function and character. Whether reworking a complete layout or refining a single space, the same principles apply: clarity of design, quality of execution, and a finished result that feels purposeful and enduring.

Evan built our under stairs storage and did a fantastic job, he did multiple consultation visits to guide us through the different material and finish options and reviewed and refined the design to ensure it was the best fit for the space and our needs. He provided detailed quotes for different options and the finish is great.

Really happy with the bespoke wardrobe Apex Carpentry built for me. Evan was great to work with – super easy to communicate with and really listened to what we wanted. Everything was done in a timeframe, and the attention to detail is spot on. You can tell he’s a perfectionist. Would definitely recommend!

Evan built a glazed screen for us which we are so pleased with. He brought my vision to life. He was meticulous with his work and super tidy. Would happily recommend him to anyone with a project? Big or small.

I found Apex when researching high quality, experienced carpenters and couldn't be happier. I had my own design for a custom fitted closet and Evan executed it perfectly. Evan has good communication and took the time to visit a couple times before starting the work. Super tidy when working. Thanks again!

We had a fairly complicated bespoke media unit designed and built by Evan and panelling installed up 2 flights of stairs. Not only was the craftsmanship faultless but he was a pleasure to have in our home. He worked tirelessly and always cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day. Having received other quotes, I found him to be price competitive. I cannot recommend him enough.

Really pleased with all the hard work Evan at Apex carpentry did for our kitchen & flooring - our breakfast bar looks brilliant & Evan is great at his trade! Thanks so much - highly recommend!

We are super pleased with the work that Evan has completed for us. He has shelved our under stairs cupboard exceptionally well. His design for the space is creative and absolutely maximises the storage available to us. In our kitchen, Evan has added three beautiful oak shelves to create an open pantry. He has a real eye for detail in that the shelves match our existing furniture really well. Evan has added shelving in our ensuite bathroom and an additional shelf in a storage cupboard and replaced a broken shelf. All of this work was clearly documented in the initial quote and communication was excellent throughout the process. There was a small delay with some of the wood but this was dealt with very professionally and has not detracted from our complete satisfaction with the work completed. We have no hesitation in recommending Apex Carpentry.

The Apex Carpentry team have just finished building 5 custom bookshelves in my home. The spaces are unusual, as it’s a listed building and the walls aren’t exactly straight, so it’s definitely been a time consuming & laborious process for them. The end product is great and I am extremely happy. The team are diligent, creative, work tidily and are extremely professional. They are solutions oriented & have delivered exactly what I had envisaged.Thank you team Apex, truly appreciate what you’ve built and delivered. Next project will the media wall so see you in a few months for that!
