Shellards Joinery Workshop

Our JOINERY WORKSHOP is located in our modern facility in Frome and supplies joinery items to the public and trade, for the local and London markets and sometimes beyond.

We pride ourselves on the quality and range of our purpose-made joinery items, which include:

  • kitchen and bathroom cabinets
  • traditional and modern staircases
  • internal doors and panelling
  • skirting and architraves (including matching to existing profiles)
  • bookcases, other purpose made cabinets and shelving
  • external doors and windows including
    • front doors, bi-fold, sliding/folding, stable doors, substantially glazed and other specialist doors
    • traditional casement and sashes, storm proof sashes, vertical sliding sashes, pivots and other specialist styles
  • timber conservatories and roof lights
  • structural timbers and beams
  • Green Oak frames for extensions
  • entrance gates and external steps

We actively promote and encourage the use of renewable timbers and, wherever possible, use FSC timber and products from sustainable sources. We offer advice and guidance on the most suitable material for your project and budget – from joinery grade softwood, Douglas Fir, or MDF to hardwoods including Oak, Ash, Maple, Idigbo, Sapele, Iroko, Walnut plus many others.

We supply purpose made joinery items to other building contractors as well as our own construction team, and clients include private individuals, companies, interior designers, architects and large and small building companies. All softwood is fully treated and primed or stained as requested and we are able to arrange painting before delivery, if required.

For this project, we supplied joinery items including the large structural beams and all the external doors and windows. Of particular note, is the approval by Bath Council for the use of Slimlite Double Glazing in a listed building.
