Services
We are absolutely thrilled with the units you made for us last year, so perfectly made and fitted, and lovely to look at. We are very pleased with the level of finishes and the end product, which is now one of the most pleasant working environments at the Academy. Your advice and help throughout the contract were very much appreciated.
From initial design concept to complete installation we work closely with our customers to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget. We co-ordinate relevant documentation including drawings for approval by the client, variations to project costs from the original quotation and schedules of works for production.
Our team of highly skilled joiners piece together the components to form more complex items. Some wood joints employ fasteners, bindings or adhesives, while others use only wood elements. The characteristics of wooden joints - strength, flexibility, toughness, appearance, derive from the properties of the materials involved and the purpose of the joint.
In our finishing department we refine and protect the surfaces of the products. Finishing is the final step of the manufacturing process that gives wood surfaces desirable characteristics, including enhanced appearance and increased resistance to moisture and other environmental agents. Finishing can also make wood easier to clean and keep it sanitized, sealing pores that can be breeding grounds for bacteria.
We are able to offer structural or green oak. Green oak is raw, cut straight from the tree and is wet, therefore it 'moves' over time causing cracks. Structural oak is dried for a number of years, therefore contains much less moisture and doesn't cause cracks in the same way, therefore what you see is pretty much what you get.

Brilliant service! We sought a recommended company as it was our first time looking to have bespoke joinery made. And we're so pleased with the results.
Being new to the service, we didn't know what we wanted and West Oak were incredibly helpful and patient particularly as we're a little fussy. Their advice on designs and unlimited array of woods were fantastic.
I will be recommending you to my family and friends, thank you!

When we set about building our retirement home some years ago we were rigorous in researching the reputation of those who would do the work. As we'd decided not to employ a builder but to supervise the construction ourselves, we were very much in the hands of individual contractors, so their skills and trustworthiness were fundamental. The house, set in the heart of a lovely country estate, was the apogee of a lifelong dream for me and my husband -- to make an English home that was classical but not a pastiche. Of all the design elements, we realised, one of the most critical in determining real

Trevor and the team have provided me with a faultless service for more than 15 years. No job is ever to small or large. The quality of service throughout is always exemplary. The attention to detail and correspondences from the initial contact, to the drawing office and then to the joinery shop and out to delivery, is just as you’d expect from a first class business.
I would have no hesitation with recommending West Oak Joinery to anyone requiring their services.
Keep doing what you’re doing guys.
