Services
Timber Windows
We manufacture traditional and contemporary timber windows using high-quality materials like oak, sapele, and locally sourced sweet chestnut. Our windows combine aesthetic appeal with thermal efficiency, meeting modern building regulations while preserving historical authenticity. Each installation reduces carbon footprint through double-glazed sash retrofits.
Custom Doors
Our bespoke door solutions include front doors, French doors, and folding sliding doors crafted from durable timbers like Accoya and European oak. We incorporate security features such as espagnolette locking systems while maintaining design flexibility for traditional or modern properties across Brighton and Hove.
Staircase Design
We create bespoke internal and external staircases tailored to individual spaces, using materials including oak, ash, and softwood. Our designs range from classic single-flight to grander structures, with optional glass balustrading or traditional timber balusters to complement any property style.
Bespoke Joinery
Our specialist joinery services cover shopfronts, office furniture, church fittings, and unique timber structures. We work directly with architects and homeowners to produce made-to-measure solutions, including conservatories, wine racks, and radiator covers using sustainably sourced hardwoods and softwoods.
High-Performance Joinery
We offer Mitre Master range products featuring patented mitred joints and 24mm double glazing for enhanced thermal efficiency. These windows and doors meet severe weather resistance standards while providing low-maintenance finishes in any RAL or BS colour to suit modern and traditional properties.
