South Yorkshire is a county of stone and brick terraced housing, colliery-village stock and large modern estates. 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 South Yorkshire, 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
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
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.

Straight answers
Hardwood Bar Fronts in South Yorkshire — common questions
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.
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.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
