We visit your property (Cotswold cottage, Victorian terrace or new build) to take precise measurements, discuss timber species and produce shop drawings before work begins.
Our Services
Joinery
Bespoke, made-to-measure timber work from a family-run farm workshop in Gloucestershire — structural joinery to fine detail, hand finished and fitted with reliable aftercare.
About This Service
Joinery
Wilkins Wood Workers delivers handcrafted joinery across Gloucestershire and Stroud, from oak staircases and sash-window repairs to purpose-made cabinets and porch frames. All pieces are cut and finished in our farm workshop, then fitted on site by qualified carpenters with NVQ training and ten years' experience. We specialise in matching grain, traditional joints and durable finishes, and we return for aftercare and re-oiling to keep timber performing.
Our Process
How It Works
01
Site survey & measure
02
Workshop manufacture & finish
Everything is hand-cut in our family farm workshop — frame-and-panel doors, stair parts, bespoke furniture — then sanded, oil-finished or primed ready for installation.
03
Installation & aftercare
On-site fitting by NVQ-qualified joiners, followed by a finishing visit where we oil, adjust and resolve any snagging; public liability cover up to £5m gives peace of mind.
Benefits
Why Choose us for Joinery?
Family-run farm workshop
Small team, hands-on owners and continuity of service — you deal with the same craftsmen from survey to aftercare, not a faceless call centre.
True bespoke craftsmanship
Made-to-measure joinery using traditional joints (mortice-and-tenon, dovetail, frame-and-panel) and carefully selected timber to match period details or contemporary designs.
Practical aftercare & insured work
We offer on-site oiling, re-finishing and follow-up visits to keep timber looking right, backed by NVQ-trained staff and public liability insurance up to £5 million.
What we make: From structural joinery such as staircases, barn conversion framework, pergolas, lean-tos, and porch joinery to fine interior work — built-in wardrobes, kitchen panels, skirtings, window sashes and bespoke oak furniture — every piece is produced to measure in our Gloucestershire workshop. We specialise in traditional details for Cotswold stone cottages and sympathetic replacements for Victorian and Edwardian properties, using hardwoods like quarter-sawn oak and carefully prepared softwoods where appropriate.
How we work: After an initial site survey we prepare measured drawings and sample boards so you can see profiles, mouldings and finishes before manufacture. Work is cut and assembled on the farm, then delivered and fitted by our qualified joiners, with on-site oiling or paint finishing. We prioritise secure fixings, correct expansion gaps for seasonal movement and tidy, protected site working. If anything needs attention after installation, we return for scheduled aftercare and maintenance visits.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We both manufacture in our farm workshop and carry out on-site installation. That means precision-cut parts are assembled and finished under controlled conditions, then fitted by the same qualified joiners who made them, which reduces site adjustments and ensures a proper finish.
We typically work with oak, ash, sapele and quality softwoods, plus reclaimed timber where requested. Finishes include traditional oils, waxes and primer/paint systems; at survey we bring sample boards so you can see grain and finish options before we start.
Lead time depends on complexity, timber availability and current workload. We confirm a realistic schedule at the site survey and keep you updated through manufacture and installation so you know when to expect completion.
Yes. We survey the existing work, take profiles and grain samples, then hand-cut matching mouldings and joinery. Repairs and sympathetic replacements are a regular part of our work for Cotswold cottages and Victorian terraces.
We offer aftercare visits for oiling, re-finishing and any snagging that arises. Our team are NVQ-qualified and we carry public liability insurance up to £5 million, so post-installation issues are handled promptly and professionally.
