Solid oak windows and doors
Very good craftsmanship and polite, efficient fitting of windows and doors. Highly recommended.
Listed Building Joinery
Graham and his team were outstanding from the first meeting to completion of our project. We have a small cottage with difficult access in Exmoor that had old doors and windows, which were anything but energy efficient. We had to replicate the windows exactly as we are in a National Park but wanted to make them double glazed to improve our energy consumption. Not only do the doors and windows look incredible, they are beautifully made with high quality materials, and are already saving us money on the heating bill :) The entire team is also lovely to work with, accommodating, respectful, and highly skilled. Highly recommend!
Bespoke Hardwood Door
We have used Haydens 3 times in 3 years for small & large jobs & they have always been quick, competitively priced, & with excellent customer care including a variety of options for any proposed task. Most importantly they do great work. On one occasion they constructed a complex door for an arched corridor space in an old building - everyone admires its quality and thinks it’s contemporaneous!
Timber Window Installation
Graham and his team made a pair of flush casement windows for me. The process was excellent and Graham was so very helpful and clear in helping get things right. The windows are superbly made and the attention to detail really shows in the finished product. Highly recommended joiners.
Joinery Repairs
Graham recently repaired two small sashes in on if our bay windows. His workmanship was brilliant and we’re delighted with the result. He was also incredibly quick to respond and a real pleasure to deal with. I’d highly recommend him!
