Architectural Joinery

Architectural joinery is the larger, fixed timberwork of a building — staircases, panelling, columns, pilasters and the mouldings that tie a room together.

We make and restore these by hand, combining bench joinery and woodturning so structural and decorative elements match the building's period and proportions, whether the setting is heritage or contemporary.

What we do

Bespoke structural and decorative timber — staircases, panelling, columns and mouldings — made and fitted to suit the building.

  • Staircases — strings, treads, balusters and newel posts
  • Wall panelling, wainscoting and architraves
  • Turned columns and pilasters
  • Cornices, mouldings and decorative trim
  • Bespoke fixed joinery made to suit the building
