In the UK there are many regulations surrounding construction, including joinery. As such, when commissioning bespoke products, it is vital to make sure they will meet regulations for your build. With 45 years of experience, our bespoke joinery manufacturers work closely with builders and building companies in Skipton, Ilkley and the surrounding areas we cover to deliver fully compliant products and features. This page details some of the main regulations surrounding timber doors, timber windows and wooden staircases which Skipton Joinery takes into account where necessary.
