Let’s bring your ideas to life – call today on 07415 216223.
Welcome to Gary J Potter Carpentry & Construction – where precision carpentry meets thoughtful design and a down-to-earth approach. Since 2013, we’ve been helping homeowners in Ely, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and beyond to unlock the potential of their homes.
Our mission is simple: to combine craftsmanship you can see with reliability you can feel. With over 40 years of combined experience, our small, skilled team brings the kind of personal service that larger firms can’t always offer. Whether it’s a bespoke bookshelf or a full house extension, our bespoke carpenter and expert builder team treats every project with the same level of care.
We can bring together the right team – from ground workers to bricklayers and plasterers to other specialist trades – to ensure your project runs smoothly and delivers on time and budget, whatever the brief.
We are problem-solving builders, space creators and detail obsessives. From bespoke carpentry and cabinetry to large-scale builds, we manage everything in-house so you don’t have to juggle different trades. We’ll even help with planning and drawings, guiding you from first sketch to final polish.
Need more room but don’t want to move? Our house extensions — brick or timber-framed — are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing home. From roof trusses to Hardiplank cladding, every detail is hand-cut and fitted by experts.
We see garages differently. To us, they’re blank canvases ready to become home offices, gyms or living spaces. Our garage conversions maximise what’s already there and transform it into something you’ll love using every day.
No more wires, no more clutter. Our bespoke media walls turn the everyday TV into a feature, with space for shelves, speakers and storage — all designed around how you actually live.
Your kitchen is the heart of your home — so let’s make it work beautifully. We handle kitchen fitting from top to bottom: units, islands, doors, worktops, the lot. Whether it’s sleek and modern or warm and traditional, we’ll craft a space that feels like yours.
From fitted wardrobes to bespoke bookcases, our local carpenter services cover all the finishing touches that make a house a home. Every project is tailored to your taste and built to last.
Why Homeowners Trust Us
When you need more space, you deserve a team that understands your home and your ambitions. And with our extension builder, you get practical guidance from the first conversation onwards.
First, we explore your requirements, property, and plans together. Then, we help you choose an approach that makes sense for your budget and lifestyle. Throughout the build, you stay informed while we keep everything moving smoothly.
Most importantly, you get a result designed around you.
Imagine finally having the kitchen, dining area, or family room you’ve always wanted. Well, our single storey extensions can unlock valuable space while keeping your home feeling unmistakably yours.
You could open your kitchen onto the garden, create a brighter family hub, or build a peaceful home office. Better still, you can design the space around your daily routines rather than adapting your life around your house. Giving you room to cook, work, relax, and enjoy more together.
Why stop at one floor when your property could offer so much more? Our double storey extensions let you add substantial space while making better use of your existing footprint.
Downstairs, you could create the spacious kitchen or family room you’ve been missing. Upstairs, you could add bedrooms, bathrooms, or a dedicated workspace. As a result, you gain valuable flexibility without sacrificing your garden unnecessarily. Better still, our double storey extensions can help your home evolve around your family, your routines, and your future plans.
So, you can stay where you love while creating the space you need.
What if you could completely rethink the way your home connects and flows? Well, our wrap around extensions can transform awkward layouts into spacious, beautifully connected living areas.
By extending across the rear and side of your property, you can create a much more generous footprint. You might combine a larger kitchen with a relaxed dining area, add a family room, or create a seamless garden connection. Furthermore, our wrap around extensions give you greater freedom to shape your layout around everyday life.
Ultimately, you can turn underused areas into somewhere your whole household enjoys spending time.
Looking for a modern way to add space while keeping your project practical? Thankfully, our timber framed extensions offer a lightweight, versatile approach to creating a comfortable new area.
You can enjoy excellent design flexibility while choosing layouts that suit your property and lifestyle. Furthermore, timber construction can help your extension take shape efficiently. Giving you a streamlined route towards your finished space. Plus, you can also create a warm, inviting environment that feels naturally connected to your existing home.
Ultimately, our timber framed extensions give you another smart option when you want more space without compromising your vision.
