Tell us what’s wrong and we’ll come to site — workshop on a Gloucestershire farm — to inspect timber movement, sticky or draughty doors, loose joints or finish faults and advise a practical fix.

Return visits and hands-on repairs from a family-run joinery workshop. We sort movement, adjustments and finish issues so your timber performs and looks right for years.
About This Service
Aftercare & Repairs
Wilkins Wood Workers offers practical aftercare and repairs across Gloucestershire, from sticky doors in Stroud terraces to finish checking on Cotswold cottages. Qualified carpenters (Lvl 3 joinery, Lv2 carpentry + building) inspect the issue, carry out sympathetic repairs and re-finish on site. Warranties vary by job, but the team prioritises leaving no customer unhappy and will revisit until the job meets the brief.
Our Process
How It Works
01
Report & Inspect
02
Repair & Restore
Qualified joiners carry out the repair: re‑hanging, planing, rebating, re‑bedding, mortice and tenon repairs, or on‑site re‑finishing and oiling using traditional techniques and matching materials.
03
Check & Aftercare
We check performance after the work, offer maintenance advice and schedule further visits if needed. Job-specific warranties and public liability cover (up to £5m) give added reassurance.
Benefits
Why Choose us for Aftercare & Repairs?
Family-run continuity
A small farm workshop means the same team handles your job from inspection to follow-up, so adjustments and finish tweaks are consistent and straightforward.
Qualified, experienced joiners
Operated by NVQ‑qualified carpenters with around 10 years’ trade experience, the team uses correct carpentry techniques for structural and cosmetic repairs alike.
On-site finishing & reliable aftercare
We re‑oil, re‑finish and tweak joinery on site and return for follow-up visits — built-in aftercare reduces future movement and keeps timber looking right.
What we fix — doors that stick after seasonal swell, draughts around newly fitted frames, loose handrails, checked finishes and joints that need re‑pinning. We treat each job as joinery work, not a quick patch: that means correct joinery repairs (rebates, tenons, glue and peg repairs) and finishing that matches your piece or property.
Where we work — based on a family farm in Gloucestershire, we regularly attend homes across Stroud, Stonehouse and Cheltenham. Jobs range from timber casement window adjustments in Cotswold stone cottages to bespoke door re‑oiling in modern townhouses. All work is covered by our public liability insurance up to £5 million, and any job-specific warranty is confirmed in writing before work starts.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
An aftercare visit begins with an on‑site inspection to identify timber movement, finish problems or fitting issues. We then carry out agreed adjustments — planing, rehanging, tightening joints, or re‑finishing — and leave care instructions. If further tweaks are needed we’ll book a follow-up.
Timber movement and finish settling most commonly appear within the first few months, especially after seasonal humidity changes. Report issues as soon as you notice them and we’ll prioritise an inspection; the sooner we see it, the simpler the repair usually is.
Whether a follow‑up is included depends on the job terms and any warranty provided — we outline this on your job sheet. Minor tweaks within the agreed defect period are often covered; larger repairs or new issues outside that scope are quoted before work starts.
Yes. We work sympathetically on older properties, using traditional joinery methods like mortice and tenon repairs, pegging and hand‑planing, and matching finishes so repairs respect the character of Cotswold cottages and period homes.
We provide practical aftercare: re‑oiling and re‑finishing visits, seasonal checks and advice on timber care. If you prefer a scheduled maintenance visit, we can set recurring checks to prolong the life of your joinery.
Book an aftercare visit
