Get in touch with our innovative joiners who love a challenge. We’ll work closely with you to devise a bespoke joinery solution that perfectly meets your project requirements.

Traditional Methods
When we say we work on heritage properties, we are the number one company ready to ensure restoration or conservation of your commercial or residential building. We’ve worked in Conservation areas throughout the South East, which is why we’re so knowledgeable about building and council codes.
At Nightingale, we use traditional methods for traditional work. Victorian and Edwardian properties were built using time honoured joinery, and they deserve to stay that way. Unlike other builders who might not want to take on tricky work, we believe we can give you the answers for your restoration or conservation project.
Timber Furniture
Custom Made
Innovative
Hand Crafted
There’s a reason that handcrafted furniture is so sought after. It’s because handcrafted furniture is built to last. Our master carpenters and cabinetmakers have the time tested experience and expertise to prove it. But furniture is more than just the pieces in a home. They’re the style, the substance, the proof of care.
With our master craftspeople, you’ll choose just the right wood: sustainable timber from quality sources. Wood is the most renewable material on the planet and all of our hardwood and softwood is responsibly sourced from sustainable managed forests. Wood products are also a store for carbon, thus, helping to minimise carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while processing timber requires much less energy, giving wood products a significantly lower carbon footprint.

Classic Style

Sustainable
We like to think of ourselves as master craftspeople. That’s in part because of the versatility of our work. Whether you’re looking for shelving, kitchen tables, wardrobes, or more, Nightingale joiners can create unique designs for your property.
Because we offer custom made products, we can create your piece in any style, whether period or contemporary. You can talk to us about your choices for soft or hardwood, glass, metal, or other materials. Nightingale offers truly bespoke joinery.

Timeless
Innovative
We have created unique designs for offices, schools, retail spaces, and more, from mid century modern to contemporary designs. While we specialise in woodworking, we can expertly implement glass, metal, and other sheet materials into our designs for your property.

Doors
Bespoke
Attractive
Durable
People love and appreciate our timber doors. That’s because not only are they getting a quality product, but with classic designs and real weight, they offer better security against hard impacts. But our customers often are looking to maintain the period look of their home with a timber door.
Additionally, timber doors last longer than most other doors. With proper maintenance, timber doors can last over 40 years. That durability is nearly unparalleled. Choose our custom joinery today.

Our History
Nightingale is more than just an installation team. We’re a team of artisans, apprenticing others and creating bespoke furniture for future generations.
Beginning of Nightingale
After starting working together in 2007, Paul and Deirdre made a commitment to joinery with a skilled team of select joiners led by their workshop manager Vic, who has over 40 years experience. They had a simple goal: to create bespoke joinery for domestic and commercial markets.
2007
Our Good Name
Soon after Nightingale’s inception came the economic downturn of 2008. Despite this setback, Nightingale retained their standard of quality and good name. The team now consists of dedicated and highly skilled joiners, focused on total customer satisfaction. During this time our client base expanded to include renowned international companies and the parliamentary estates.
2010
Continuing Strong
After more than 15 years together, we have a well-established and solid workforce with a keen eye on the future including bringing in apprentices to invest in the future of our craft. We work side by side with the country’s leading architects and internationally renowned designers to create fully bespoke and tailored joinery.

SWIPE TO SEE MORE
Paul and the team did a fantastic job restoring our staircase. We were missing half of our original staircase and after contacting a lot of companies, we were met with rejection or just an offer to replace the whole staircase. Nightingale, however, were up for the restoration and did a fantastic job in remaking our bottom 5 steps from scratch and matching the detailing that the rest of the staircase had. They did a fantastic job, and I couldn't recommend them enough. 5*.

Thank you both for the brilliant job you did for us. Much appreciated!

Paul and his team are first-class! we replaced a very tired staircase with a really smart oak and glass stair which looks absolutely perfect. Highly recommended and thanks for your service.
