Merseyside is a county of Georgian and Victorian townhouses, terraced streets and post-war regeneration stock. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood bar front has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every hardwood bar front we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Merseyside, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Bar Fronts in Merseyside — common questions
Can you include a footrail?
Yes, brass or stainless on brackets set to take standing weight. It also protects the bottom of the front, which is where the damage concentrates.
How long does a bar take?
Six to nine weeks. The critical path is usually the equipment and services layout rather than the joinery, so the earlier that is fixed, the better.
Do you work around a trading business?
Where possible. Most of the work happens in the workshop, and we can phase the fit so the bar is serving each evening, though there is usually one day that needs a closure.
Which timber?
Iroko or oak. Both take a beating and can be sanded back and refinished in situ rather than replaced, which matters when you cannot close for a week.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
