Our Process

As part of the development of my first investment property, Wood & Wisdom designed and installed Critall-style glazed doors & panels to connect the new kitchen extension with the rest of the Victorian property.  The doors, painted in the same colour as the DeVol kitchen, allow light to flood through the garden flat and are a real design feature

I commissioned Wood & Wisdom to create a kitchen in my family home.  However, it also serves as the kitchen for my home bakery business so I needed an exacting design.  The team did a marvellous job and answered the brief perfectly.  Incorporating many custom details including bespoke handles, cupboards and drawers for a safer working environment. Their choice of materials and overall attention to detail, such as tailored larder cabinets and a practical central island has created a stunning space that we continue to enjoy on a daily basis.

We wanted to install a painted wooden staircase into our home that was in keeping with the style of the property.  The natural oak staircase Wood & Wisdom manufactured and installed is perfect, and reflects the natural wood finishes we have throughout the rest of the house. The whole process was incredibly simple and straightforward, and only took a couple of days.

I was very impressed with the Wood & Wisdom service. They handmade a set of bespoke oak gates for my property, finished with black wrought iron furniture crafted in their foundry.  The design is in keeping with the period, and the automated technology adds privacy and security for my home.

I commissioned Wood & Wisdom to create a totally bespoke, statement staircase for my new family home.  The design they proposed was a continuous string staircase, handcrafted in walnut and travelling up flawlessly over 3 floors.  It’s stunning, a total master-piece and works in perfect harmony with the porcelain tiles, double oak doors and galleried landing.

Wood & Wisdom exceeded my expectations in every way. The team of designers and craftsmen were incredibly sensitive to my home’s original features.  Carefully refurbishing original sash windows, incorporating discrete modern technology, and custom making replicas where refurbishment was not possible.  They made unlimited visits to ensure I was totally happy, and the finish is faultless.

The original 1970’s windows in my property were in a terrible state. I wanted to maintain a contemporary, modern design, which was energy efficient. So, I commissioned Wood & Wisdom to design and manufacture hardwood, double glazed windows that replicated the feel of the original design. They’ve done an outstanding job. Service was excellent, with attention to detail throughout.

We decided to completely refurbish our traditional Sussex farmhouse and replace all the windows and doors with hard wood traditional style double-glazing.  We are extremely happy with the quality and design and would not hesitate to recommend Wood and Wisdom

My 4-story modern seafront home has an entire façade made of glass and timber.  It’s incredibly exposed to the elements and sits within a conservation area.  Wood & Wisdom’s brief was to design and install bespoke windows that were not only in keeping, but also incredibly hard wearing. They recommended Accoya frames finished in a bespoke colour, with stainless steel fixtures and fittings suited to the exposed elevation. The team was amazing throughout the project, skillfully managing the challenges presented by 4 floors and large panes of glass without any problem at all.

We chose Wood & Wisdom to work with us on a recent refurbishment project and asked them to create two 2 separate sets of automated gates which are operated by sensor.

Each gate is 16 x 8ft, which presented a challenge.  But the team expertly adjusted the brick piers to ensure brackets could be fitted, before custom making bespoke wrought iron hinges capable of withstanding the weight of the gates at the Wood & Wisdom foundry.  A smooth project, with excellent service from the team.

Our home dates back to 1900, and it’s important to us that the original Edwardian character of the property is maintained. We chose Wood & Wisdom to work with us on a recent refurbishment project; our home’s rear windows overlooking the South Downs, new windows for a garage complex and bespoke commission of a sunburst semi-circular window inspired by Edwardian design.  Throughout the project the team demonstrated expertise and craftsmanship that was second to none.  We could not be happier.

The team at Wood & Wisdom designed and installed all the windows and doors for the rear of our detached Victorian property.  This included a bespoke 10x5ft roof lantern & custom built Victorian sash windows, which replicate exactly the existing original windows.  We also commissioned them to build and install a large set of bi folding doors which open into our garden and flood the new family room with light.   Excellent expert service, and I’d highly recommend.
