Hand-built Georgian shopfront with multi-pane glazing, by Forest Joinery

Uckfield · East Sussex

Purpose-built.
Bespoke joinery since 1995.

Windows, doors, staircases and bespoke joinery, drawn, cut and fitted in our Uckfield workshop. Listed buildings, period homes, conservation work, and one-off pieces for clients across Sussex, Kent and the South East.

Our Approach

Quietly considered joinery for buildings worth keeping.

Thirty years at the same bench, working mostly in hardwoods and Accoya for clients across East and West Sussex and Kent. Most jobs find us through architects, conservation officers, and word of mouth, people who know what good joinery looks like and don't want to compromise on it.

Every piece is drawn, cut and fitted in our own workshop. Nothing outsourced, nothing flat-packed.

Materials

Right timber for the right job , never the other way round.

  • English & European Oak

    For staircases, doors and one-off pieces where character and weight count. Quarter-sawn where it makes a difference.

  • Accoya

    Modified softwood, 50-year above-ground warranty, dimensionally stable. Our default for painted exterior joinery, windows, doors, shopfronts.

  • European Redwood & Sapele

    Honest, classic options for sympathetic period work and projects where budget needs to do real work too. Specified properly, they last.

We're an Accoya Approved Manufacturer, and most of our external joinery is built in Accoya or hardwood. Where listed buildings demand it, we match historic profiles to the millimetre.
