Heritage Joinery in Leeds
Leeds has one of the largest stocks of Victorian and Edwardian housing in the country — the back-to-backs and through terraces of Headingley, Chapel Allerton and Burley, the substantial villas of Roundhay and the listed grandeur of the city centre. Original timber sash windows and panelled doors are everywhere, and good restoration keeps them serviceable for decades.
We take on heritage joinery and sash window restoration across Leeds, particularly conservation-area and period properties where retaining the original timber matters, bringing work back to the Honley bench where bench joinery and turning are needed.

Local knowledge
Joinery that suits Leeds
Leeds has numerous conservation areas — Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay Park and many more — where sympathetic timber repair is strongly preferred to replacement. The city's typical bay-fronted terraces carry sliding box sashes that respond well to re-cording, draught-proofing and splice repairs.
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.

Questions
Leeds questions
- Do you cover heritage joinery across Leeds?
- Yes. We carry out sash window restoration and heritage joinery for period and conservation-area properties across Leeds, from Headingley and Chapel Allerton to Roundhay and the city centre. Call 01484 666 333 to discuss your property.
- Can original sashes be repaired off-site and refitted?
- Yes. Where it suits the project, original sashes can be carefully removed, brought to the Honley workshop for splicing, re-cording and draught-proofing, then reinstated — keeping the original timber and glass rather than fitting a replacement.
