Case Studies

Vicky and Nick MacBean, Richmond

“We hated our old UPVC door, and it was failing, and we knew we wanted a solid wood door to replace it. We love to have a bit of colour in our home, and so thought about bright options. Rainbows are important in our lives: both of our children are ‘rainbow babies’, having been born after pregnancy loss, and we are also committed LGBTQ+ allies. Having a rainbow as the entry point for our home seemed like a wonderful option.

Having spoken to another company and received a dismissive reaction to our plan, I found Joinery for All Seasons online and spoke to Natalie. I already liked the idea of using an independent family business, but when I told her about the rainbow idea she reacted with such positivity and enthusiasm that I knew we’d found the right company!

Our vision was quite clear from the start, but Natalie was great at advising on the more detailed aspects of how the design would work, as well as on the brassware. Daryl also gave some great advice to ensure improvements on some of the frustrations we had with our previous door, such as a very high sill.

The result? Absolutely everything we’d hoped for and more! Planning and installation was professional and seamless, the quality is fabulous, and the customer service throughout was faultless. I was quite nervous on the day of fitting in case it didn’t look as good as we’d hoped, but I definitely needn’t have worried! Every single time I come home the door makes me smile.

We have positive comments from everyone who visits, including tradespeople, and have even heard people walking down the street making comments. “Look look look mummy, that door is a rainbow!”

We were so delighted with the whole experience that we wanted to thank the team for their efforts, we really felt they’d gone above and beyond.

Our elder daughter Nina (5) loves to draw pictures for people, so it was her idea to make a storybook about the new door.

We’d made rainbow shortbread previously for a party, so it seemed like a natural choice as a thank you present for all the team!

We have already recommended Joinery for All Seasons to people we know, and some friends just down the road are replacing their front door with them. I recommend Joinery for All Seasons to anyone who comments on the door.

I wish we had more doors on our house to replace. We just love our new front door!”

“Look, look, look, mummy, that door is a rainbow!”

Jane Hansen’s Story, Kent

I wanted a traditional, wooden door that I could paint in a colour of my choice. I chose a mid-blue with a hint of grey for the outside and the frame; this reflected the coastal location while still working with the warm grey of the render and the orange bricks. I used a slightly grey white on the inside of the door.

The house was built in about 1912. It was in a poor state and needed to be completely refurbished. Unfortunately, it had long ago been stripped of its original features. But there was one five-panel internal door, which I am sure was original to the house. I liked its proportions and thought that a five-panel design would suit the front door which is relatively tall and wide.

I looked online for a door manufacturer based in Kent, someone who was close enough to come and measure the door and whom I could also visit if needed. Their excellent website convinced me to call them; it showed so many examples of fantastic doors they had made.

I had a fairly clear vision, but Natalie worked really hard to help me get the details right. She was so patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was very enjoyable to work with her on the door. There was a lot of back and forth to get the design and dimensions of the panels just right. Occasionally, she would check something with Daryl to make sure what we were drawing would work in practice. She was also very knowledgeable about the brassware. I visited her at the workshop a couple of times to discuss the design and to see samples of brassware items. I chose a traditional solid brass handle as I wanted to be able to close the door without locking it. Natalie also, unasked, tracked down a bolt for a vintage brass door knocker that I already had. And then we moved on to the glass.

Natalie showed me various glass designs from other doors they had made. I used one as the basis for the design of my toplight. Natalie took me to meet Gosia, the glass designer. I then went back to see Gosia on my own a few weeks later. I had already bought and cleaned a vintage brass door knocker with a shell design on it. I thought it would be fun to incorporate a shell into the glass, so I gave Gosia a simple 2D drawing of a shell, which she incorporated into the design in place of the flower that had been there originally. The shells reflect the name of the house and also its location. Gosia gave me a few options that played with the colours in the design and the size of the shell. It took me weeks to decide on the colours though. There was too much choice. In the end I went back to something very similar to the colours in the glazing that Natalie had first shown me, with just some small changes.
Through all that Natalie remained enthusiastic and always at the end of the phone to chat about options. Gosia was also amazing. Very professional, helpful, and patient.

The door looks great. Like it has always been there. The proportions are just right, and the glass looks lovely. There is still work to do on the render and other woodwork in the front porch, which lets down the door a bit, but that is temporary.

Everyone who has seen the new door has admired it. It fits in so well that I think most people who see it assume it has always been there.

The whole team is kind and wonderful!

“I had a fairly clear vision, but Natalie worked really hard to help me get the details right. She was so patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.”

Kim, Croydon

‘I wanted a front door that felt like a real feature, solid timber with stained glass that added character and a welcoming feel. I had a design idea in mind for the glass and was excited to bring it to life in a bespoke way.

I came across Joinery for All Seasons while looking for quality joinery specialists. Their work stood out straight away, and the team responded really quickly to my enquiry on the website.

The stained glass design was inspired by something I’d seen and loved on Pinterest. I shared it with Natalie, and from there, we explored different design and colour options to make it completely unique and suited to the house.

I had a vision for what I wanted, but Natalie was brilliant in helping refine the details. She gave me different options for the hardware, the fanlight, and all the little extras that made such a difference in the final result. It was a really collaborative and thoughtful process. I am definitely not the most decisive person, so Natalie was great in being able to offer her opinion based on her experience in working with other customers.

The stained glass idea came from a style I’d seen on Pinterest and loved, something classic but colourful. We worked together to adapt it, choosing the perfect colours and layout to fit the door and bring in light while keeping the look timeless.

I couldn’t be happier. The door is everything I’d hoped for, it’s solid, beautifully made, and the stained glass is stunning. It completely transformed the entrance to the house!
Everyone who visits comments on the door, they love it! The stained glass especially, gets a lot of compliments, it really stands out and gives the whole space a warm, welcoming feel.

The whole experience was excellent. Natalie was fantastic, so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Fred came round to quote for the door and then went on to install it, he was brilliant, answering all of my questions, really friendly, and his workmanship was great.

I would definitely recommend Joinery for All Seasons. The service, the quality, the attention to detail, it was all brilliant! I’d recommend them without hesitation.

I’ve already asked Natalie to quote for more work in the house. That says it all really.’

“I couldn’t be happier. The door is everything I’d hoped for, it’s solid, beautifully made, and the stained glass is stunning. It completely transformed the entrance to the house!”

Tracy Lockett, Plumstead Common

I had spotted a similar front door when I walked to a friend’s house in Hither Green. I looked online for “Victorian Stained Glass Doors” and found the perfect one. Similar to the one in Hither Green, but with the colours I wanted!

I searched for a joinery company that could recreate the perfect door for me. I discovered Joinery for all Seasons when I was looking online. I saw the company had 5 star reviews and I knew they would be able to make, supply, and fit my dream door.

Originally, I was going to have a simple front door with 2 frosted glass panels. But my sister (who was terminally ill) urged me to get the door I “really” wanted. She knew I’d always wanted a stained glass front door. During a hospital visit, we chose the design for the stained glass together. It was such a shame she didn’t get to see it in person to see how beautiful it looks. But every time I look at it I think of her, and think how happy I am that I took her advice.

I wasn’t sure how the door would look. So, Natalie sent me lots of pictures of similar doors from other customers, which reassured me it would look fabulous!

I couldn’t be happier with how the door and glass look together, it is simply stunning and a joy to come home to, it looks even better when lit up at night and transforms the front of the house.

When Fred installed the door, I was overjoyed and had to hold back a few tears as it was mine and my late sister’s vision, and it had been brought to life.

My family LOVE the door and friends are full of compliments. My neighbours love it! One neighbour felt compelled to stop me in the street to tell me how much she loved it, going so far as to say my house is the ‘best in the street!’ because of it.

My experience with the team at Joinery for All Seasons was superb. To think I was originally going to have a much more simple front door, then changed my mind but I am so glad that I did. Natalie and the team were very patient and supportive with all my changes and concerns. Fred the fitter was fantastic, and so professional.

“I would recommend Joinery for all Seasons without hesitation. And I have. My friend lives in a 1930’s house and wants a door to match the period of her home. Sure enough, there was an example on their website, which she loved. So, she will be contacting Joinery for All Seasons very soon.

I have already asked the team to fit new French doors in my house later this year and I look forward to seeing that finished too.”

Mr and Mrs K, Sittingbourne.

‘Having completed some renovation work to our hall, we knew it was calling out for a new front door to complete the look. As glazed side panels were also required, we decided this was the opportunity to create something a little different and started looking around for inspiration. We were very pleased when we came across a local family run company making quality timber doors and immediately made contact. A visit to their office to discuss our project further was arranged and we were immediately impressed not only with the product but also the friendly and approachable nature of both Natalie and Daryl. There was no high sales pressure and we talked about the different types of timber, the endless glazing opportunities, were given various samples, taken around their workshop and we went away knowing this was exactly what we were looking for.

Having chosen our style of door, it remained for a decision on the glazing and we voiced our desire to move away from the traditional glazed panels often seen. The team were completely open to our thoughts and whilst we did not have a clear vision initially, Natalie offered advice throughout and we were encouraged to explore as many ideas as we wished. We eventually found a rather elaborate floral arrangement (plus butterflies) and ran the idea past Natalie who advised that this was indeed possible. We tweaked the design on many occasions and Natalie remained incredibly helpful and cheerful throughout the endless emails to and fro. She paid attention to every little detail ensuring that the end product was correct and even joined in our delight at the finished product.

As the whole project unfolded, we knew we had made the right decision. From the initial meeting, the advice and support from the office, the survey by Fred through to his expert installation, everything went smoothly. We were kept informed at every stage of the process and cannot fault the professionalism of the whole team who were involved. The end product is stunning and family and friends have all commented how nice it looks. It is not just a lovely new front door with glazed panels from the outside but a delightful enhancement to our entrance hall indoors as well.

The whole experience from start to finish was most enjoyable. Joinery For All Seasons and the whole team take a pride in their work, provide a quality service to their customers and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.’

Jackie Dowle, Brentwood

I had looked at countless joiners, but none could copy the original 1910 door we had as there was an oval bevelling in the middle of the door. I was so lucky to find Joinery for All Seasons.

The fact they could copy my original door which had water damage, and do so at a reasonable price for the work required was fantastic.

Everyone on the team was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble, they were happy to go over sizing, colours, glass, fitting and ironmongery as many times as needed to make sure everything came together, omitting any mistakes.

The new door colour and the glass were the only marked changes in the end. I fancied a change from the white colour we usually had and the glass idea I had seen in another brochure with a similar, but not the same door.

Natalie sent me all the door paint colour matches straight away. Once I had made a decision, she then sent me a painted sample of my chosen wood, so I could check it at different times of the day for colour changes with the light. She also sent me a large range of glass colour choices in a sample pack. I had always wanted coloured glass since we moved here 22 years ago. I love the way the glass colour is very subtle from the outside and lights up the hall from the inside. It has allowed me to continue the look I have tried to achieve throughout the house, mixing traditional with contemporary.

I am so happy and would recommend them to anyone. They were the best company I have ever worked with, having rebuilt a 5-bedroom house over the years with 2 extensions, that is saying something! Nothing was a problem that couldn’t be solved.

My friends and family love the new door often commenting on how wonderful it looks.

Everyone including Natalie, Daryl, Fred and Lewis have been amazing with nothing being too much trouble.
Natalie was helpful and friendly with good advice, as was Daryl with his sizing of the door. Fred was outstanding in his fitting of the door which is not easy with an old house where the walls are not straight and wires are in the way, plus he was very tidy which was a massive bonus.

I have been recommending their services already. When we move again, I would have them quote for any joinery work we need.

“I would just like to say it has been a pleasure working with Joinery for All Seasons, and would like to thank them for their time and commitment in achieving a wonderful architectural door, that not only complements our house but adds to its beauty which will last for the next 100 years!”

Tariq and Krishma’s Story

We purchased a beautiful Victorian house in New Eltham and really wanted to complement the original architecture with a striking front door. We have noticed the trend in people really starting to appreciate the beauty of original Victorian and Edwardian doors, so it just felt right to give our home what it deserved.

The original door was OK but not great. We have lived here for a year and noticed how drafty it was during the winter, and when it rained the door would swell and become difficult to open.

We took inspiration from lots of other similar doors in the area and spoke to several suppliers. After a lot of research for the right joinery company we became frustrated with not being able to find a hardwood supplier able to offer the high quality detail that we really wanted to achieve, thank goodness we found Joinery for All Seasons!

I have lost count of how many e-mails have gone back and forth between us and Natalie, who could not have been more helpful. We have never lived in a Victorian house before, so we carried out a lot of research, visiting homes around London and discussing so many ideas on style and colours with Natalie, who was always happy to help guide us. We were spoiled for choice in colours, we started off planning a deep colour, then changed to a pale pink, before finally deciding on French grey, not too dissimilar from the original door. There is something so stylish about a traditional colour, it complements the pretty, original architecture beautifully. It was Natalie’s suggestion to add some glass panels to the door and we are so glad we took that advice as the daylight really brightens the hallway.

We visited the factory in Kent and found that really made a huge difference to our door journey. Seeing the quality of the timber, the technology and skill that goes into each design, and meeting the team really helped to reassure us in our decisions.

We really appreciated the fact that the timber was of high quality, the doors were designed and made from scratch here in the UK, and everything is produced by a family-run business. They have pride in their workmanship and it shows in every little detail.

Our neighbours have stopped us in the street to comment on the new door and our friends have been amazed by the transformation.

We love everything from the style, the colour, and the brass ironmongery which adds a lovely warmth.

Krishma and I are extremely happy with the door and the incredible service and support we have received from Natalie and Darryl, not forgetting the fitting team led by Fred. The entire team embodies the core values of the business, it’s not pretentious, or fake, it comes from the heart. We wish all tradespeople operated like them.

Tariq and Krishma, New Eltham.

Mrs A. Marney – Bexleyheath, London

My husband and I knew we wanted a traditional Victorian front door like the ones you see around London, but with a twist. Also, we wanted it to be one of the main features of the house so that if you came over to visit or walked past the property, you saw something that was both beautiful and unforgettable.

Having looked at various front door companies in London we decided to branch out to look in Kent too. Joinery for All Seasons came up top on Google, so we of course wanted to reach out; we also liked the fact that we were supporting a local family business, the price was reasonable, the reviews online were great, and we had researched their quality of workmanship on the website which looked amazing.

Natalie was amazing and her assistance over the phone was super helpful in answering any questions. I felt like I was calling up a friend who had the same enthusiasm as me ‘nerding out’ about getting a beautiful front door. Daryl, come out for a site visit and was thorough in showing us what we could achieve with our vision, had lots of samples and booklets for us to look at and gave advice on door security which put our minds at ease.

The colour choice took a bit of time to decide as we were back and forth with some other colours too (mainly black, blue or green…) but there was something about a beautiful rich red colour that felt like us. Also looking into the meaning of different door colours for fun also sealed the deal; apparently, a red door in different cultures symbolises you are welcoming, gracious, and hospitable, the energy it brings is freedom, vibrant, exciting and it offers good luck and protection for the home.

But in a more practical and visual sense against an off-white house with black, and brass features it also suited the overall style of what we were trying to achieve.

The door furniture was a no-brainer in picking brass it was in tune with our Victorian house, which had brass window furniture on our sash windows. But we wanted something quirky and different for our door knocker rather than the traditional lion and found this amazing looking wolf knocker that we purchased before the site visit with Daryl to make sure it would fit the door measurements.

The whole team were great! It was also nice to see a young apprentice working on the door too, knowing this great skill is being passed down to the next generation.

In a few years, we hope to do further work on the house and will keep Joinery for All Seasons in mind for windows and doors that might need replacing or new windows and doors that need creating.

“We always try our best to pick the best company for the work needed by doing our own detailed research and seeing how our intuition feels on consultation. Joinery for All Seasons were the most pleasant and stress-free experience. So, all I want to say is just Thank you to all the team!”

Verity and James, Sevenoaks.

My husband James and I own a gorgeous 1930s semi-detached house in Kent that we have lovingly restored both inside and out, as the previous owners had barely touched the house for 30 years. The former windows and doors were very old aluminium ones that were in dire need of replacement.

One of the first jobs we carried out was to replace the front door. We carefully researched potential contractors over several months, and we were relieved when we found Joinery for All Seasons to take on the job.

Both the style itself (particularly the beading) and the individual colour of each inside window has been carefully designed to complement the relevant colour scheme, as well as to maximise light in our home. Our project has been unique in that whilst the outside of all windows are finished in a modern anthracite grey, the inside paintwork is bespoke to each room.

We were so delighted with the finished product and the overall service that we decided to engage the company to replace all of the windows in the house over several phases to suit our particular time and budget requirements. We loved that they were happy to work with us in this way without pressure to do everything all at once.

“The service we had from Joinery For All Seasons over the best part of fives years have been second to none, and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with them.”

Sue and Dave, Minster.

We had used the joinery team before at our previous property, so we knew the quality and service would be great.

Our original timber-framed, bay window, required a total replacement, so we knew who to call. The replacement needed to be an exact match to the rest of the property window frames to maintain the character of our new home.

We have again been very pleased and impressed with the service and quality of the product. Everyone from the company (from fitters to office staff) has been very professional, friendly, efficient, provided close attention to detail, and have been considerate throughout the overall process.

We were impressed with the provision of a painter coming to the house to ‘make good’ to the finish of the fitted window frame.

“We are really pleased and would thoroughly recommend Joinery For All Seasons!.”

Angela, Maidstone.

My daughter-in-law, an architect, found Joinery for All Seasons for me to take out the old, and very defunct double glazed window and replace it with one of her design. This was the first job they did for me and I was so delighted with the results, as was Alison, my daughter-in-law that I asked them back to replace an old window. Needless to say, I was equally delighted with that too.

The latest job they have undertaken was to replace a crumbling portico, an open porch, which had been in terminal decay for a long time. I knew that it might be a bit tricky to do but by that time I trusted in Joinery for All Seasons to do a good job, which of course they did. As a result, I now have the most attractive portico, with which I am thrilled. It adds enormously to the property, an old cottage, and has been the object of compliments from my family as well as friends and neighbours, even my post girl!

The old door (probably around 200 years old) provided a few problems which Joinery for All Seasons took on board and sorted out very nicely. I now have a door that has retained its character but actually functions as a draught-proof and secure entrance to my cottage.

The service I have received has been excellent throughout and every one of the very skilled workers on all the work I have had done has given 100% effort to ensure that I got the best possible result. Communications with the staff at the office and workshop cannot be faulted, I was always kept in the picture as to what was to happen and when.

The fact that I am having more work done is testimony to the first-class service that Joinery for All Seasons has provided. I trust them completely to do an excellent job and am so glad that Alison found them for me.

“I would recommend them without hesitation, they are quite simply the best at what they do.”

Steve and Sarah, Iwade.

We were looking for ideas of how to extend our house without losing too much of our garden. We had never used Joinery for all seasons before this project but after speaking to various builders about our ideas we decided they were a great fit for us. Daryl and Lee came over to look at our property, they came up with ideas that nobody else had considered. By extending both sides of the house we could maximise space, whilst saving our garden area, perfect!

They liaised with the architects and council planning departments for us, helping through every stage. Once we had agreed on the price, work started straight away. They supplied materials as samples for us to approve, every care and due diligence was taken throughout the entire project. There were of course a couple of issues along the way, which were not of their making, but they solved every problem we had without adding to our stress.

Once the build was completed Daryl and Natalie came over to sign off the works. They even gave us a gift which embarrassed us, it should have been us treating them!!!

Everybody that comes around to our house, is amazed with the transformation. Especially the roof lantern, the light just fills the room, and we can’t wait for the summer to get the maximum use of the bi-fold doors into the garden.

“We are so happy with everything that the team at Joinery For All Seasons have done for us. I would highly recommend them.”

Abi Heath, Faversham.

I found Joinery for All Seasons on Google. We knew we wanted to replace our door and wanted a company that would make and install the door. We also wanted a local company ideally.

Natalie came back to me the same day that I sent the initial enquiry, promptly coming back to me to arrange a visit, shortly followed by a full follow up quote.

Our house is listed and also in a conservation area, so we wanted to replicate the old door as much as possible in terms of both design and colour.

The entire team were great at helping us with ideas. We had suffered a break-in, so we were keen to make the house as secure as possible. We initially wanted a deadbolt as well as the main lock, but it was suggested we use a single locking system that was even more secure.

As we live on a busy road noise is also an issue, so Daryl was able to suggest having a slightly thicker door and having double glazing in the fan. Natalie also suggested some great ironmongery based on our initial suggestions of what we liked.

It is very hard to pick one thing we love about our new door. For us security was a big reason for the replacement, and it feels incredibly secure now. The noise reduction is also really noticeable after both the door and then when the glass fan was replaced. It also looks amazing, both from the inside and the outside, it looks incredibly smart but very much in-keeping with the house.

The team were all amazing. Natalie was incredibly helpful, we needed listed building consent, so she helped chase this up for us and kept us informed throughout. Daryl and Fred were both incredibly friendly and helpful during the design and installation

The installation was incredibly efficient and myself and my partner were impressed by how thoroughly they tidied up after they had finished so you wouldn’t have known that any work had been done. The finish to the door is great and we really appreciated the small details like getting a painter to come and tidy up the edges after the door had been installed. Our neighbours have commented on how smart it looks as well as friends and family.

“We would definitely use Joinery for All Seasons again.”

Matt Kneel, Maidstone.

We discovered Joinery for All Seasons after a Google search led us to their website. Initially we were not entirely sure what material to choose for our new door, but we thought it would be best to go for a custom solid wood because of the nature of our design.

We knew we wanted to make use of our archway and really fill up the entire space with a wow factor door.

I can’t take credit for the colour, that was down to my wife, she knew what she wanted from the outset. I was surprised to learn that Joinery for All Seasons are able to match any colour we like, that’s brilliant!

The service they provided was truly amazing, such a great and enjoyable experience. The installation team were amazing and incredibly experienced skilled crafts people.

“The door is beautiful and everyone that visits comments on how good it looks and what a fantastic product it is, the finish is perfect. I have had other trades people comment on how good it is and the attention to detail is fantastic.”

Maggs, Kent

We originally found Joinery for All Seasons via Facebook whilst we were having some new building work carried out on our home. We wanted a traditional look for all our doors to complement the stunning oak porch also made by Daryl, and the traditional build of the house.

“The service was fantastic, Natalie & Daryl are easy to talk to and that makes explaining your requirements a lot easier.

We are thrilled with the final products and finish; Fred made a fantastic job of installing the doors and certainly takes pride in his work.

“We would certainly use Joinery for All Seasons again.”

Jean, Sheppey

I knew I wanted a new statement front door. My old door had seen better days and I wasn’t sure what I wanted, so I asked Joinery for All Seasons to design a door to suit my 50’s style property. I wanted something that would suit my home but also something a lot more modern than the original door.

I am over the moon with the colour, again I was guided by Joinery for All Seasons on this because I simply didn’t know where to start and was worried I could get it wrong. It’s beautiful, the finish is excellent and I get a lot of compliments on it.

The ironmongery really completes the look, again I let the friendly team guide me on this one. I wanted something modern, but not too different. The polished chrome was the perfect choice, combining a traditional style, but adding a modern edge.

The guys were great and very tidy. Everything was explained to me throughout the installation, which was a lot quicker than I expected it to be, a real added bonus!

I absolutely love everything about my door, but the glass just makes it even more special. It’s so stylish with the complementary grey, something I would never would have considered if I were designing the door myself, but it really works and gives it the statement look I was after. I love it!

“I cannot recommend Joinery for All Seasons enough, in fact one of my friends has already ordered a new door too.”

Chas, Kingston upon Thames

Our doors and windows were extremely draughty and before moving here our surveyor’s report highlighted that the windows were low specification double glazing.

We decided to get them changed as soon as we could, and it has already made a huge difference to our home.
From the outside it is difficult to see any difference because the windows had to be exact replicas under our covenants. From the inside it is very noticeable to us.

The installation is top quality and a great improvement on the windows and doors we had before.

We have a very panoramic view over a pond and communal gardens but there is a large fountain and road nearby – the acoustic double glazing has eliminated noise from both, making our lounge much quieter.

We got in touch with Joinery for All Seasons after our neighbour recommended them to us. We had excellent service at every stage from Natalie and the team the moment we contacted them. We would certainly use them again because of the client service, high quality, and value for money.

”The best part of all is that now the room is much warmer, we have decided not to replace the curtains and blinds so that we can enjoy the view better without it being partially blocked. Perfect! We are certainly happy customers.”

Clair’s story, Sheppey.

I have lived in this house for 9 years and my old door was UPVC, with no glass in it, it was just horrible. Worse still, the original door was very drafty, so it was well overdue a change!

Joinery for All Seasons came highly recommended to me, and they are very reasonably priced, I just love their work.

I wanted to stay in-keeping with the house, but to modernise the door and add some glass, which is why I went for the etched glass which kept my privacy but gave it that modern look. I also decided on grey Meteorite paint for the outside colour and kept white inside as I felt this was a lovely fresh, modern colour.

Natalie helped me through this process giving me a lot of options and was honest with what she thought would look better, which really helped me. Natalie helped me to not just reach my design goals but helped me improve them even further.

The service was fabulous from start to finish, Natalie and Megan guided me through the door process of choosing style, glass and ironmongery, I had no idea there was so much to choose from! Megan was extremely helpful when I was selecting my ironmongery, I wanted to keep things traditional with a modern twist and I felt Megan gave the right options to achieve this.

Fred & Sam were also fantastic when they installed the door. I have MS so my memory is terrible, Fred took a lot of time to show and explain to me how the lock works and how to put it on the latch when I want to put the bins out. Embarrassingly I forgot the next day and he even popped in on his way home from work to show me again, this time with my daughters so they could remind if necessary. Going the extra mile in kindness and patience makes a huge difference to customer service, it’s another reason why I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

The difference is huge, gone is the dark and drafty uPVC door. Now I have a beautiful timber, draft-proof door, which lets so much light into my hallway. I didn’t even realise just how dark my hallway was until I changed my door.

My friends and family have all commented on how lovely it is and what a difference it has made to the front of my house. Neighbours have commented and I have given out details of the company since I have had my door installed to several people.

“I absolutely love it, everything about the door is perfect and more than I expected. The light in my hallway has made a huge difference, the locking system feels so secure now, and no more drafts!.”

Jaya, Dartford

I know Joinery for All Seasons well, previously using them to create and install my fantastic black front door. So, when I decided to do something a little different with my internal doors it was natural to get back in touch with Natalie.

I needed to change the colour of the internal doors as I felt the hallway needed brightening up. I wanted a smooth, white look to enhance the natural light coming through the hallway windows. I asked Natalie for advice on the internal doors because I knew about the great customer service they offer. I knew she would be transparent with me regarding what they could or couldn’t do.

We opted to professionally spray them in a lighter colour. The change has definitely brightened up the hallway and each room that they open into. It was a good decision, the finish is superb.

Many visitors to our home have commented on the look and quality of the front door. Comments have included “It looks very sophisticated” and “You can see the quality immediately”. The ironmongery has been noticed and commented on just as much as the door itself.

I have been sure to recommend the name of the company to people who have asked. I have also felt it right to add when telling them that it’s a family run company, they provide a warm and personalised service. The whole process from start to finish with both projects was seamless, and I always felt well informed and communicated with. The installation stages were hassle free.

”Fred and his assistant were friendly, approachable, and tidy. I felt I could ask questions whilst Fred explained each stage as they worked. Overall, I’m a very impressed and satisfied customer! Thank you Joinery For all Seasons!”

Rachel, London.

We moved into our house in August 2019. It had to be gutted completely as it really needed modernisation. Because of the cost of doing all the work and the cost of buying a new door that was not off the shelf, we only looked at changing the door when we had saved up a little.

Also, winter had been cold, and the old door was letting in a lot of cold as well as the street sounds were flooding in through the gaps.

During Lockdown we had time to walk around the neighbourhood a lot. I kept looking at all the doors around and thought that the style of door was the most in keeping and by making it grey, it would give it a more contemporary twist. It is not too fancy, works with the ‘crittall’ style windows and lets a lot more light in than the previous one.I looked at 6 different companies, in the end I chose to wait and go for Joinery for All Seasons as I would get what I wanted, and a reasonable price with a friendly service. When I got through to Natalie on the phone, she was very friendly and she went through the price options really quickly, letting me know how I could save some costs without jeopardising the quality.

The service was very good and friendly. Daryl came round just to be sure the site survey was right and was able to make some very good suggestions. I like the porch design on top of the door that mimics the roof shape of the house.

It was hard for the change not to be an improvement as the old door and car porch was hideous. But everyone likes the door and random neighbours I have never met before have stopped and commented.

“I would recommend Joinery for All Seasons to any of my friends and family.”

Jo’s Story, Hampshire

We had lived at our property for 12 years before we decided the windows could really do with modernising. After using Joinery for All Seasons previously, it made complete sense to use them again for this job too. We know and trust the company, which is especially important when dealing with professional period style renovations.

Their customer service is excellent. I trust the team to get back to me about any queries in a timely fashion. I value the fact that I can ring or email and get through to someone I know, usually Natalie, almost immediately. Which is rare these days!

We had all our box sash windows replaced, which has made a huge difference. Previously we had old rattly, drafty windows. Now we have well fit windows that don’t rattle when it is windy, and obviously don’t let in the cold air. I am looking forward to not having condensation on the windows in winter and mouldy window ledges!.

”We love our new windows and have already recommended Joinery for All Seasons services to our friends and family. As well as great service, and high quality, we found the overall value for money excellent.”

Mrs Dorothy Cruickshank, Kent.

I worked at Sheppey Docks as a Sales Ledger Clerk for 16 and a half years and I would often dream of living in one of the beautiful houses opposite. After much persuasion my husband agreed to leave our home in Minster and settle into the building I have proudly called home for the last 35 years.

As you can image, living so close to the sea can be rather hard on a building at times, regularly battling the elements! The strong gales would howl through the original sash windows of this period property, especially the top floor, so it was a relief to know that Joinery for All Seasons were coming to replace them.

The team were excellent, I cannot fault them at all. Fred worked hard to make good with the original boxes after the new replacement windows had been installed. The two painters had to spend a lot of time filling as well as painting with great detail and care, and young Joe travelled up and down the stairs several times, before hoovering at the end of each working day. I made sure they were all kept well fuelled with sausage rolls!

I am so happy with the final results, many of my neighbours have commented on how lovely the back of the house now looks. The sash windows are easier to lift now, my family has even commented on the lovely finish of them too. It looks fabulous from the outside and is warm on the inside, no more nasty drafts lifting the blinds up during the gales!

“I would thoroughly recommend Joinery for All Seasons to anybody!”

We had spent some time researching a few different window and door companies online and were particularly confident in the reviews posted for Joinery for All Seasons.

After weighing up the options between traditional hardwood and plastic we decided that solid wood was the right choice for us and would be much more fitting for our Victorian home.

We have actually used Joinery for All Seasons for a few home improvements now because we have decided to take a gradual approach to the renovation plans for our home. It is quite a large, ongoing project for us, originally 1 house, now converted into 3 flats, there is still a lot of work to do.

It was evident from our very first site survey that this is a family company, with a lot of care for each job. We were impressed with the knowledge and the attitude of the craftmanship coming first before any sales drive. We found that very refreshing.

We have had original sash windows replaced to a mock style sash instead, the detail is incredible, and you would struggle to notice they are imitations unless using them really.

The service has always been exceptional, Natalie is 100% on the ball and we have never had any issues at all, the entire team seems to know the ins and outs of each project they are working on. We have recommended them twice already and will continue to do so.

One of the features that has really impressed us is the security of the mechanics used on the backdoor. We were a little worried that wood may be easy to get through, but there are 3 solid locking mechanisms tracking down the doorframe, you would need a cannon to get through that!

”Overall great service and great windows and doors, top marks to Joinery for All Seasons.”

Josh and Diane, Forest Hill

We first came across Joinery for All Seasons whilst searching on Google for local wooden window companies. All their reviews looked really good, so we gave them a call and very quickly started planning our house transformation.

We had all our windows and doors replaced. The house had the original 1930s wooden windows, which were in a terrible condition and in places quite rotten. Our dining room doors were warped and letting the heat out of the house which was freezing over winter. We chose to replace them with wooden windows in a similar style as we like original features and felt bad about taking the original windows out, but they were beyond repair.

The original front door was still in place but the stained glass had been replaced by 1970s safety glass. We were keen to try and restore the door to how it would have looked originally by reinstating art deco style stained glass.

We are extremely happy with the work. Joinery for All Seasons were so helpful all the way through and really accommodating where there were issues or amendments during the work. We have had comments on how lovely our windows are from our neighbours, and have even had people knocking on the door to ask us where we got our front door from! Everyone has been really impressed.

Without hesitation we would definitely recommend Joinery for All Seasons. We found our project with the team to be a really positive experience with a friendly family run company.

We had decided we really needed to replace our bay windows in a way that would protect the original leaded light glass and the integrity of the period property, we had heard about accoya wood, researched it and then did a google search for Joinery Kent Accoya- Joinery For All Seasons was I think the first site that appeared.

Joinery For All Seasons replaced the windows in our bays on the ground floor and first floor and also replaced the back door in the kitchen. The back door was a straightforward replacement for a more solid, better fitting, secure door, also in accoya wood. The original window joinery was rotting in places, the windows were draughty and single glazed and the lead in the beautiful original coloured leaded lights (8 in total) was very soft and we had water ingress through some gaps – it was simply too cold to continue like this. We had put off for many years as we didn’t want upvc and we didn’t want replica coloured leaded lights. We were incredibly nervous about doing this, but we had initial confidence in Joinery For All Seasons from information on the website, photos of other projects with leaded lights, invitations to visit the factory, speak to previous customers and then from Daryl when he came to consider the work and provide a quote.

We had arranged a factory visit however this was not possible due to lockdown; we did however arrange a video call so that we could both meet Daryl, we learned a little more about the family business and the steps that would be involved in removing our leaded lights for them to be repaired and restored and then set between 2 panes of glass to be installed in the new joinery frames for the windows. We were assured the process would result in a major improvement to both the look and of course to the warmth in the rooms. We were very impressed to know that the installation would be followed up with decorators to ensure finishing restored the plaster and paintwork surrounds to a high standard.

The service was fantastic, no matter how many questions I asked, and I asked a lot, Natalie’s responses were always speedy, informed and reassuring. Of course the installation was delayed due to lockdown, but when it did happen Fred and Joe were amazingly friendly and efficient, hardworking and polite, and we were all able to maintain safe distancing and other hygiene standards as the work progressed. Mick who followed up with finishing and repainting where necessary was equally polite and helpful and did an amazing job. We are delighted with the results, exacting details of the profiles of the original frames and surrounds were taken and the results are stunningly similar to the original. I was always concerned about losing the beautiful effects and changing light of the texture of the coloured glass once it was set between smooth new glass, however in the daylight from the inside, which is after all where we mainly admire it from, this is still very much visible.

Our family and friends have commented mot positively, mainly saying that if they didn’t know it had been done they wouldn’t have noticed and whilst it is clearly fabulous new wood and most definitely a massive improvement, not to say so much warmer and definitely weatherproof, it is a credit to Joinery For All Seasons that they have maintained the integrity of this Edwardian property.

Our overall experience was overwhelmingly positive with high quality workmanship and excellent customer care from beginning to end; we felt that Joinery For All Seasons cared about the quality of all aspects of the project just as much as we did, they kept us at the heart of it throughout, no corners were cut, the fitting was faultless and the end result including the finishing decoration is perfect.

”We would wholeheartedly recommend Joinery For All Seasons, they are a 5 star business.”

Anoushka’s story, Reigate

We love our period property and believe that a home should not be taken too seriously, but a good injection of fun and personality should be added, along with factoring in original features to the property.

We were recommended Joinery for All Seasons by our architect, whilst we were having a lot of work carried out at our home. We live in a conservation area and wanted to replicate the original Edwardian windows and doors as they are important part of the home’s history and one of the reasons we bought a period property but also wanted to add our own touches were we could. The colours are more our choosing – we like bold striking colours, the interior of our home has colour throughout, the yellow front door makes me feel happy and the anthracite grey french doors strengthen the greens beyond in the garden.

The internal sunburst door is a bit of fun, and allows a direct view from the front door to the casement window (which when open has no central bar so it opens out completely) and into the garden, the through view creates a greater sense of space. We think the original details and colours/ideas we introduced work well together and we are extremely pleased with the result.

We are really pleased with the work and finish that has been produced by the team. It’s unusual to find a company where every member goes that extra mile to make sure you are happy with the final product, nothing was ever too much trouble including pulling out all the stops to meet my builder’s tight deadlines.

“A big thank you to Daryl, Natalie, Fred, Joe and Mick. I am thrilled with the outcome and if we ever do another house up you will be the first people I call!”

Kim, Property Developer, Kent

As a property developer it is vital to seek out the best suppliers and contractors to work alongside for each project we create. I have learned over the years that if you do not achieve this a dream development can promptly turn into a nightmare. When you find that perfect match it is invaluable.

Joinery for All Seasons came highly recommend to us when we were let down by a previous company, the team came in and completely rescued us when we needed it most. We have used them for our last 2 property developments, and I am thrilled with the results on both. We deal with large scale renovations which are sold within a prestigious market, so the quality and finish must be exceptional throughout.

After our first project with the family joiners I knew I would go on to use them for any hardwood doors, windows and orangeries I may need for all future developments, this was evident before we started to plan our latest barn conversion, without question they are simply the best. The total package of care, attention to detail, workmanship and price is second to none and I have complete confidence in them.

In property development there are often unexpected complications that can arise, which is why it is so important to choose the right team for the job. I know that Joinery for All Seasons will always go the extra mile, the support they provide us is fantastic, and nothing is ever a problem for them.

Despite the issues raised by the Covid-19 pandemic we were still able to achieve the deadline of this complete build, and I could not be happier with the end result. The final details are everything we had hoped for and more. The huge bespoke windows allow the natural light to flood into the house and the finish to every internal and external door is impeccable. All aspects of the house have been carefully considered and planned to really show the building and the beautiful surroundings to its finest.

The property is now up for sale and viewers are commenting on the fine workmanship and finish, it speaks for itself and fits in with our market perfectly.

I know this property will not be on the market for long and that is hugely down to the finish. The next development is already in the planning and I have Natalie and the team booked in already.

“A huge thank you to all the team, like us, they are one big happy family.”

Jan’s story, Surrey

We have been using Joinery For All Seasons for many years and have never been disappointed.

The first time we noticed the quality of work that they produce was when we visited some friends of ours after they had just had their hardwood conservatory built. We were really impressed with the finish so we arranged an appointment to discuss our own conservatory requirements and get a quote.

We knew our design ideas were going to be a bit different from the “norm” but that didn’t seem to phase the team at all. Not only did they create a beautiful conservatory for us, but they added the features we had imagined and asked for. The entire front of our conservatory was built with fully sliding doors allowing us to completely open up the room into the garden. We were delighted with the results!

After moving to our new house we called on the expertise of the joiners again. This time we had a wide variety of work carried out. We replaced both the front and back doors to a design of our own creation. Taking a mould of the current window frames they were able to create an exact match with the replacements. All internal doors were replaced using solid wood for washrooms and fully glazed for rooms that benefit from more natural light, such as our media room.

The majority of the staircase was rebuilt and the grand stairwell window restored. All the little touches and features were restored or improved for the perfect finish.

Our favourite project of all has to be the secret hideaway storage doors we have had installed, providing us with a number of discreet storage cupboards. The best one is most definitely the hidden wine cellar! We discovered a wasted area when we were refurbishing the house, it was an unusual space and we wanted to make a feature of it for a bit of fun. Joinery for All Seasons created a mirrored door to fit across the entrance, which is in our hallway. People are so surprised when we open it up, they always assume it is just a hallway mirror, which is exactly what we wanted.

“Joinery for All Seasons are a family firm that provide real craftsmanship from beginning to end – they are helpful, flexible, reliable and trustworthy and every time we have used them we have been delighted with their products and service. We strongly recommend them.”

Sarah and David’s story, Kent

We approached Joinery For All Seasons 3 years ago when we were hoping to rebuild our hardwood conservatory. After our initial consultation we proceeded with the project and added in some bespoke french doors and windows too.

We were so delighted with the finish that we then went on to have all our remaining windows replaced to match.

The service and quality have been second to none, this is a real family business who go above and beyond. They have always created everything we have envisaged to perfection, even if some of our requests have been a little bold!

Communication has always been excellent, and we really appreciate how they have listened to us and brought creations to life. They even made a bespoke little bathroom window shutter for us.

We have already recommended their services to friends and family. Project number 3 is already booked in for us, next we shall be having custom fit wardrobes installed.

Our favourite part of the house is definitely the hardwood conservatory, it is unique, and everyone always compliments us on it.

To sum up our thoughts I would say;

“It’s been a pleasure to have Joinery For All Seasons work on the refurbishment of our house. Their work is to a high standard and their after service has been second to none. That’s why we keep having them back! Their pricing is competitive too.”

Sam’s Story, Chislehurst

I found Joinery For All Seasons through a Google search for bespoke hardwood doors and joinery last year. I had been researching different door companies online and I knew exactly what I wanted for my home, I just needed a joinery company who could bring my idea to life.

I visited the factory in Sheerness a couple of times. Once to meet the team and talk through my order, and then again to see some of the doorway and window I had imagined begin to take shape and come to life. It was great to see the process!

I don’t live close to the factory but Natalie and Daryl were always helpful, advising me over the phone, and sent me pictures of my door with any updates and information that I needed.

I needed a joinery service that I could trust in as I often work away from home. I felt very comfortable leaving the team to process, create and install my order whenever I was unable to oversee the project myself.

I am delighted with the high standard of the work and the service I have received. Friends and family have commented on how much they like the design and how impressed they are with the workmanship, telling me that it really has modified the front of the house whilst maintaining the original style of my home.

“I found Joinery For All Seasons to be professional and precise, with excellent attention to detail. They are incredibly reliable and I would recommend them to anyone looking for bespoke windows and doors”.
