Bespoke Timber Windows, Doors & Joinery
Crafted in North Devon Since 1926
At G S Haydon & Son Ltd, we design and manufacture high-quality bespoke joinery, with a particular focus on timber windows and doors for period and listed properties.
Working from our North Devon workshop, we use carefully selected materials—including air-dried oak, Accoya and hardwoods—combined with traditional construction methods to produce joinery designed to last.
A straightforward approach to good joinery
Our work is typically chosen by clients who value:
- Proper materials and construction
- Joinery suited to older and listed buildings
- Longevity and repairability over short-term solutions
- A straightforward and reliable service
We offer both new joinery and repair work, using materials and finishes that allow timber to be maintained rather than replaced.
Established craftsmanship
Established in 1926, we began as a wheelwright’s business and evolved into a joinery workshop over the decades. This experience means we’ve encountered nearly every type of joinery project and developed a practical, well-rounded approach.
We continue to operate from South Molton, combining modern machinery with traditional hand skills. Many of our team have been with us for years, and we actively train apprentices to ensure these skills continue.
Local work, complete service
We primarily work across Devon, Exmoor and West Somerset, with projects extending further afield where required.
We offer a complete service including manufacture, finishing and fitting, making the process straightforward for our clients. We are also happy to supply joinery only if preferred.
Visit our workshop
We welcome clients to visit our workshop in South Molton (by appointment) to see work in progress and get a clear understanding of how we work.
Much of our work comes from repeat clients and recommendations, and we are always happy to discuss new projects.
