Reproduction Victorian joinery

Not for the faint hearted.
There have been people over the past year, that have contacted me about joinery problems with their Victorian houses. And the sheer horror about the cost of having, for example, a sliding sash window replaced or sections of stair parts missing or damaged. Plus the total frustration of having other joiners turn up to tell them that it wouldn't be worth their while and that it's too complicated to reproduce.

So they have been quite relieved when I’ve managed to recreate items of carpentry without making them worry about taking out a second mortgage on their home just to pay for the privilege.

I’m not saying it’s easy by any means; it’s a case of doing lots of research and getting the right pricing through suppliers. Each job is different and brings its own difficulties and rewards. But it’s always nice to see something restored to its former glory and actually working the way it’s supposed to be. Added with the look of relief on the owners’ faces, when their home functions normally.
