I’ve just made it last night. Lots of lovely photos of windows, doors and woodworking with our team over the years.

This is going to be a very technically challenging job. This is a right angle sliding door – the opening panels meet at the corner. Once fully working, this frame is going to be disassembled, and ikea-like we will “flat pack” it to the install site. We then need to bring it all inside and rebuild the frame in the room. To make it harder we will need to notch the sill and head for steel posts that will meet. To re-build the frame the fixed panels need to be screwed from underneath – so once we assemble the main frame we need to raise it high enough to get underneath the frame and fit the panels in… then fit the frame…
it will all be double glazed after we fit it all (by us too).
We have a large queue of jobs ongoing at the moment. all different shapes and sizes. mostly cedar, but a few in kapur and meranti as well.
enjoy your weekend.

Today is the last day for the year at the window man 2022. We are taking a few weeks off with all staff back on deck next year on 23rd jan.
This year has been a difficult one with supply chains, ever upward costs in materials, difficulty in sourcing good timbers, changes to aluminium extrustion suppliers with our domestic windows and just covid randomly playing havoc. Despite all of the head winds we have had another successful year and look forward to both the break and the return for next year.
If you need anything quoted – please email it to us, George and I are still around and will receive your emails. Calling the factory probably wont get a response unless one of us happens to be in the office.
We wish all our customers and suppliers a happy and safe break.

We have remade a whole house load of plantation shutters. these are operarable, but really play a more decorative role on the house rather than function. we had the best originals to work off, the rest were much too rotten. lots of time/ labour for these.
