Heritage Joinery in Harrogate
Harrogate is a spa town built for show, and its building stock reflects it — grand Victorian and Edwardian villas around the Stray, Montpellier and the Duchy estate, with bay windows, tall box sashes, fanlights and substantial panelled doors. This is some of the finest architectural timber in North Yorkshire, and it rewards proper conservation joinery.
We carry out sash window restoration and heritage joinery for Harrogate's period and listed properties, bringing work back to the Honley bench where bench joinery and turning are needed.

Local knowledge
Joinery that suits Harrogate
Harrogate has extensive conservation areas and a fine listed townscape, where sympathetic, like-for-like timber repair is strongly preferred to replacement. The tall multi-pane box sashes on the spa-town villas respond well to splicing, re-cording, draught-proofing and matched mouldings.
For larger commissions we are happy to discuss access, removal and reinstatement so original sashes can be repaired at the workshop and refitted with minimal disruption to the property.
