GBS Joinery is not a volume manufacturer. We are a craft-led joinery specialist, focused on doing things properly — not quickly or cheaply.
Our difference lies in how we think, not just how we make.
This is why homeowners, architects, and conservation officers trust us with buildings that matter.
With over four decades of experience working on listed buildings and homes within conservation areas, GBS Joinery understands the importance of preserving character while meeting modern performance standards.
We work closely with:
Our expertise includes:
– Reinstating original timber windows and doors
– Accurately replicating historic profiles, glazing bars, and detailing
– Improving Thermal efficient without altering appearance
All timber used is FSC® or PEFC-certified, sourced from responsibly managed forests worldwide.
If you’re unsure what is permitted — or what would be most appropriate — we are always happy to provide free, expert guidance.
Quality is at the heart of everything we do, and is built into every stage of how we work.
Our impressive Testimonials and Case Studies are testament to this.
Our case studies showcase the quality, care, and attention to detail that define GBS Joinery.
Our recent projects include bespoke timber windows and doors installed across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, the wider North West and throughout the UK.
From heritage restorations to contemporary homes, each project reflects our commitment to timeless design, precision craftsmanship, and lasting performance.
Bespoke timber windows and doors offer superior fit, longevity, insulation, and aesthetic quality. They are ideal for period properties and homeowners seeking a natural, durable, and energy-efficient solution tailored to their building.
Yes. Bespoke timber windows and doors work beautifully in contemporary architecture, offering clean lines, excellent insulation, and a natural material finish.
Yes. We specialise in conservation areas and listed buildings and regularly liaise with planning departments to ensure compliance.
Absolutely. We specialise in creating bespoke designs that match the architectural style and character of your home. Our expert craftsmen can replicate historical details, specific shapes, and finishes, ensuring the new additions blend seamlessly with your existing decor.
Modern timber windows with high-performance double glazing can exceed current building regulations for thermal efficiency, helping reduce heat loss and energy bills.
Timber windows and doors are easy to maintain with a few regular practices. Every few years, they may need a fresh coat of paint or stain to keep them protected and looking beautiful. Upkeep is minimised however, as we apply specialist treatments and coatings to protect the timber from moisture, rot, and UV damage.
We provide all clients with guidance on care routines to maximise the lifespan of their timber products.
When properly designed, manufactured, finished and maintained, high-quality timber windows and doors can last several decades – often significantly longer than mass-produced alternatives. And, Accoya timber is guaranteed for 50 years above the ground.
We install using our in-house team across the North West. Nationwide, we manufacture and deliver, working with trusted third-party installers.
Lead times vary based on the project’s complexity, design specifications, and current workload. Typically, a custom project can take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks, but we will provide a detailed timeline during your consultation to ensure you’re fully informed throughout the process.
Sustainability is integral to how we design and manufacture our joinery.
Timber is a renewable material, and when specified and manufactured correctly, it is one of the most environmentally responsible choices for windows and doors.
Let’s cut through the noise on the environmental debate around window and door materials - specifically, timber vs uPVC. At GBS Joinery, sustainability isn't a buzzword, it's a promise. And choosing the right windows or doors isn't just about style - it's about impact. Read more...
Why choosing the right material is about more than appearance...
When we talk about window and door materials, our focus is always on doing what’s right for the customer, for the home, and for long-term safety. So, let’s talk openly about something many people never consider: How uPVC behaves in a fire. More...
When it comes to working on a Grade II listed property, there is no room for guesswork - only expertise, accuracy, and a deep respect for the building's heritage will do. We achieved that for a recent project: the replacement of a flush-fitting, double-opening high-performance timber windo for a homeowner living in a historically protected area. More...
