Wood & Wisdom

A timber orangery or timber conservatory is now the preferred choice for many design conscious homeowners. The perfect stylish alternative to the standard brick built house extension. And at Wood & Wisom our bespoke design, manufacture and installation service delivers elegant wooden orangeries and conservatories to homes across the South East. If sympathetically designed, an orangery can be granted planning permission even in a conservation area. At Wood & Wisdom, this is something we have mastered.

Our first choice for vertical sliding sash windows are manuafctured with a traditional box frame fitted with weights and cords, reinforcing that timeless elegance of sash windows but sliding with a simple ease. The alternative of a solid frame with pre-tensioned spring balances is a perfect solution for creating that period look when combined with more modern building techniques or for high level installations where tilt mechanisms can allow for cleaning from inside the property. You can find the perfect balance between the external aesthetics and indoor comfort with our stylish range of sliding timber sash windows.

The made to measure fitted luxury kitchens and freestanding kitchen furniture we manufacture is typical of a Shaker style and built using traditional techniques and construction methods. Each step of the construction process of a handmade kitchen is designed and carefully crafted to meet the original vision of the client. Design features include dovetailed drawers on timber drawer runners or modern concealed soft close runners, hand turned knobs and traditional cabinet doors hung on solid drawn brass hinges.

Our Flush Casement Windows have been specifically developed to suit period properties such as farm houses, cottages and barn conversions, especially those governed by conservation requirements.
