Report
In 2004, Barn Joinery fitted a fire door for us, and 12 years later when six large rotten Edwardian timber windows had to be replaced, we opted to commission the same firm. The windows are excellent and are indistinguishable from the originals (except that the new ones fit properly, the timber is sound and the brass fittings are attractive and functional). Two years later we downsized to a flat and needed custom-made furniture to store our belongings as efficiently as possible. Barn Joinery designed and built one unit comprising bookcases, wardrobe and computer cupboard all within the same unit

Barn Joinery constructed and installed some new gates for us last year. They were easy to deal with, carrying out our project in the time agreed, and to a high standard. We would happily recommend their services to others

We had bespoke radiator covers made and fitted by Barn Joinery, a superb job completed on time and within budget. We had storage issues in a limited space. Barn Joinery resolved these with clever ideas building bespoke cabinets which were functional and stylish. We found this family business and staff professional, polite, reliable. A first class service at an affordable price. Would highly recommend.
