where it all began

Based in the Vale of Evesham, Simon Watts Joinery specialises in beautiful, bespoke joinery. Combining traditional methods and authentic craftsmanship with the latest technologies, we transform premium quality wood into stunning custom creations for our clients throughout the Cotswolds and beyond.

The story of Simon Watts Joinery

Simon Watts was the brains and vision behind Simon Watts Joinery. Simon gained years of experience in the industry before starting his own joinery business in 2010.

With Simon at the helm, Simon Watts Joinery grew a loyal client base. Sadly after several years, Simon was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He approached his friends and construction business owners, husband and wife team Dan and Lyndsey, and asked if they would be interested in taking the reins of the business, as his priority was to secure a future for his family.

Simon sadly passed away in January 2021, but Dan and Lyndsey are deeply committed and incredibly proud to continue building on the success of Simon’s legacy, to provide beautiful joinery and the best possible client experience. Much of their own home showcases the craftmanship of the talented team at Simon Watts Joinery.

Towards the end of 2021, we moved premises to accommodate our growing team, whilst remaining true to Simon Watts Joinery’s roots.

sustainability

We promote an eco-friendly approach to our work, with all our timber being of the highest quality, from sustainable sources, and either FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) approved.

Furthermore, we recycle over 70% of our timber waste, with larger pieces graded, shredded and sustainably re-used by Ash Waste Services, a certified carbon neutral organisation. Our sawdust is collected by R. Swindell & Sons Ltd. for agricultural use, preventing it from entering landfill.

We want to look after our beautiful planet, so for every completed project, we give something back to the environment by donating to Ecologi, who plant trees on our behalf.

Ecologi is dedicated to tackling the climate crisis, funding numerous projects here in the UK and around the world, each with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Customer testimonials

ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS!

"Excellent initial visit by Rich to measure up, followed by a secondary confirmatory visit. Arrived with frames made in the workshop and throughout the day, trimmed the frames and the French windows as required and repaired the internal flaking plaster. The completed works look absolutely first class! Arrived at 09.30 and did not leave until 19.00 having worked throughout the whole day with very few rest periods. Excellent customer service through the whole project – thank you."

Mr & Mrs J

STRAIGHTFORWARD PROCESS

"We are very happy with our new french doors and windows, the whole process has been very straightforward from ordering to site visit and then installing."

Mr & Mrs G

VERY RARE LEVEL OF CRAFTMANSHIP

"The quality of the work is artisanal, there is care and attention to detail, crafting and the finish. This is a very rare level of craftsmanship. We are building a bespoke home and every time one engages with suppliers there is always the fear and doubt that what is ordered will be what is delivered. We can say that the entire experience from enquiry to the last touches has been a genuine pleasure, changing what can often be a risk to spend into an investment in our home."

Mr & Mrs O

BROUGHT MAGIC INTO OUR HOME

"Simon Watts have completed several projects for our home and office in the last few years. It’s always been a very personal, friendly and professional service. They have brought magic in to our home with our secret bookcase and fulfilled my childhood dream of a library with a floor to ceiling bookcase including a ladder on a rail to reach the top shelves. Simon Watts make some really special pieces with beautiful materials that will last a very long time in this world where most things are disposable."

Mr & Mrs G

WOULDN’T HESITATE TO RECOMMENd

"Simon has worked with us over the past 4 years and replaced all the external doors and windows in our house, including building a large lantern-light and French doors to our new extension. He listens to what we want, builds what we need and delivers what we expect. His work is of the highest quality and if there is ever any issue, he fixes it right away. We will certainly continue to use Simon for any future joinery in our home and would not hesitate to recommend him to others."
