Case Studies | Joinery
within our workshop, we create unique pieces of artisan craftsmanship
Sash Windows:
New and Refurbished
Client: Greater Manchester Council
These are modern wooden sash windows that slide on sash balances and house double glazed units, made from start to finish in our workshop.
Lectern, Altar and Cupboards
Client: St Thomas’ Church, Middleton
This was a traditional joinery job in an ecclesiastical setting which was a pleasure to complete. We used solid European oak to create these simple but elegant pieces.
Oak Staircase and Cupboards
Private Client, Cheshire
Our clients called us in to refurbish their home which had been damaged in a fire.
We fitted and adapted the oak staircase, made a new door for the landing and installed solid oak flooring. The job was finished with a medium stain and oiled.
We also upcycled some solid oak panels from old kitchen cupboard doors. We recut the mouldings to use again and released the panels to reframe onto the walls using every bit of the door. This private job was a joy to do and shows just what you can do from some old kitchen cupboard doors!
Coffee Table

WYTHENSHAWE HALL
Client: Greater Manchester Council
Wythenshawe Hall is another architectural jewel in Manchester’s crown. The 16th-century medieval timber-framed historic house was damaged by fire in 2016.
We were asked to make a new oak window to match the burnt remains of an old window and as you can see are proud of the results. The Hall is set to reopen in 2020.
