Woodwork is a key component of historic architecture and interiors, from decorative panelling and doors to windows and structural timber. At Skillington Workshop we specialise in the conservation, repair and restoration of historic woodwork using traditional craftsmanship combined with a thorough understanding of conservation principles.
Our approach is always to preserve as much original material as possible, carefully repairing and stabilising damaged timber while respecting the character, age and integrity.
Where elements are beyond repair, we can sensitively reproduce missing or deteriorated sections using matching materials and traditional joinery techniques, working closely with specialist joiners to deliver work of the highest standard.
Alongside repairs we also provide sensitive cleaning and conservation treatments designed to protect historic timber from further decay and environmental damage. We carefully assess each project individually to ensure the most appropriate treatment for the condition and significance of the woodwork.
