Handmade Pine Kitchens
Each kitchen is crafted on-site using reclaimed or new pine, featuring hand-carved details like the iconic Falcon's Tail trademark. We design, manufacture, and install bespoke solutions tailored to period properties or modern homes. Clients benefit from direct consultation with owner Michael Bartle, ensuring quality and adherence to traditional methods.
Victorian Door Restoration
We source and chemically strip original Victorian pine doors, architraves, and skirtings to restore their historical character. The process preserves intricate details while preparing surfaces for waxing or painting. Stock varies by size and style, with pricing determined by dimensions and complexity of restoration work required.
Reclaimed Timber Flooring
Sustainable flooring solutions using reclaimed pine or oak from period buildings. Each board retains unique patina and grain patterns, offering eco-friendly alternatives to new materials. Installation services cover the UK, with options for bespoke cuts to fit specific spaces and architectural styles.
Bespoke Wardrobes
Tailored pine or oak wardrobes crafted to match room dimensions and design aesthetics. Options include hand-painted finishes, carved detailing, and integration with existing architectural features. Made-to-order process ensures seamless fit and functionality for residential or commercial spaces.
Spindle Staircases
Traditional spindle staircases crafted using time-honoured joinery techniques. Components like balustrades and newels are hand-turned in our workshop, allowing full customisation of design elements. Installation available nationwide, complementing both heritage and contemporary properties.
