THE WORKSHOP

The "Conservation Joinery" period workshop was created by Ray Johnston purely to produce reproduction items and section for the refurbishment side of the business. Essential items in the refurbishment of sash windows, such as staff and parting beads and cills are all produced in our own workshop,thus maintaining quality and consistency.
