Our Story

Built on Craftsmanship and Continuity

“Crafting bespoke windows and doors is more than just a job – it’s about turning houses into homes, one piece at a time. After 40 years, the passion is still the same.”

Nigel Hockin – Founder, GBS Joinery

GBS Joinery was established in 1984 by founder Nigel Hockin, following more than a decade of bench joinery experience. What began as a small workshop has grown into a respected specialist joinery business, now operating from a six-thousand-square-foot facility in Edgeley, Stockport.

Despite this growth, the principles behind the business have never changed. GBS Joinery has always focused on quality over volume, taking the time to understand each property and crafting joinery that is proportionate, durable and true to the character of the building.
