Chris Crate Joinery

About Chris

My love of all things woodwork started at school, with after school classes and work experience which led to an apprenticeship at one of the best conservation companies in the country, St Blaise Ltd.

For the first ten years of my career I was workshop based working on projects such as Uppark House, Kingston Lacey, The House of Commons and Windsor Castle.

Now with over twenty five years of experience, I have my own fully equipped workshop near Bridport, Dorset, specialising in bespoke, traditional joinery and timber framing. Working in a variety of timbers, particularly oak.  

I can repair or replace joinery on listed properties, or help design and build your individual project.
