Heritage Joinery in Wakefield
Wakefield's history as a wealthy market and cathedral city left it with handsome Georgian frontages along Westgate and St John's, alongside extensive Victorian housing. These properties carry fine box-sash windows, fanlights and panelled doors that are exactly the kind of architectural timber worth restoring properly.
We provide heritage joinery and sash window restoration for period and listed properties across Wakefield, repairing and replicating original timber to match the building's period and proportions.

Local knowledge
Joinery that suits Wakefield
The St John's area of Wakefield is a celebrated Georgian conservation area, with tall multi-pane sashes and elegant doorcases where sympathetic, like-for-like repair is essential to the streetscape. Splicing decayed cills, renewing cords and weights and matching original mouldings keeps these frontages authentic.
Wakefield's Victorian terraces and villas add a large stock of later box and casement windows that respond well to draught-proofing and bench repair.
