One workshop. Everything in-house.

DDB is a UK precision fabrication company. Every component we make is designed in-house using Autodesk Inventor and manufactured at our Finchampstead workshop on a 5-axis CNC — from first drawing to final installation, everything under one roof.

Founded by Steve Brooks, who brings more than 40 years of cabinet making and advanced manufacturing experience, DDB combines traditional craftsmanship with digital precision. We take complex concepts and make them buildable.

Capabilities

What we do

Two divisions, one workshop. Whether it's a curved facade or a compliance-grade desk, the process is the same: designed in Inventor, machined in-house, installed by our own team.

DDB-AF-01

Curved Timber Structures

Complex curved substructures and fins, machined to precise, repeatable geometry — no hand-fairing, no on-site guesswork.

DDB-AF-02

Solid Surface & HI-MACS

Thermoformed fascias, facades and interior elements as an approved HI-MACS fabricator — seamless, durable, exact.

DDB-AF-03

Cladding & Facades

Bespoke cladding systems and architectural elements for high-end residential and commercial projects.

DDB-WS-01

Office & Sit/Stand Desking

Bespoke office furniture and height-adjustable desking with integrated power, cable management and technology.

DDB-WS-02

Education & Esports

ICT suites, libraries and gaming rooms for schools, colleges and universities — designed around how the space is actually used.

DDB-WS-03

Defence-Grade Alucore

Compliance-grade desking in Alucore aluminium composite, engineered for defence and government environments. Trusted by the MOD.

DDB-WS-04

Aviation & Check-In

Check-in desks, staff desking and passenger charging points for Heathrow Terminals 4 and 5 — built for constant public use.

Featured project

The Bay House, Bracklesham Bay

Curved Douglas fir fins and thermoformed HI-MACS fascias for a high-end coastal self-build — resolved in Autodesk Inventor, machined on our 5-axis CNC, and delivered exactly as the architect drew it.
