Heritage Joinery in Shelley
Shelley sits high above the Dearne and Fenay valleys, a gritstone village of weavers' cottages, stone-built houses and old farmsteads on the lanes out toward Shepley and Emley. Behind the hard Pennine stone there is plenty of original timber joinery — sash and casement windows, panelled doors and turned staircase parts — worth keeping in good order.
We restore windows and doors and turn replacement components for Shelley's period properties, a short run over from the workshop in Honley.

Local knowledge
Joinery that suits Shelley
Shelley's conservation area takes in the older village core, where the stone cottages and larger houses carry the box-sash and small-pane casement windows typical of the district. Sympathetic, like-for-like repair — splicing decayed cills, re-cording sashes and matching original mouldings — keeps that hilltop streetscape intact rather than swapping timber for uPVC.
On an exposed ridge like Shelley, weatherproofing and discreet draught-proofing built into a restored sash make a real difference to comfort while keeping the window fully operable.
Shelley is a village we are proud to support — we sponsor the open-age football team here — so it is one we know well.
