Start with the building
Proportion, opening style, glazing patterns and finishes should respond to the architecture rather than forcing every project into a standard template.
Farrar manufactures bespoke timber windows and doors for homeowners, builders, architects and heritage projects throughout the United Kingdom.
Windows and doors frame light, shape comfort and endure years of handling and weather.
Farrar approaches them as architectural joinery rather than off-the-shelf components. Each project begins with the building: its proportions, materials, use and the character that should be retained.
That information guides the timber, profiles, glazing, finishes, hardware and construction method. The result should not simply fit the opening. It should feel right within the property.
Design, manufacture and inspection are treated as one connected process.
These are the principles we work to on every project, from the first enquiry through to delivery.
Proportion, opening style, glazing patterns and finishes should respond to the architecture rather than forcing every project into a standard template.
Material selection, construction, coating and maintenance must be considered together so the joinery can perform over time.
We tell you what information we need, what happens after your enquiry and how the project moves towards manufacture.
Clear care guidance, a timber warranty in writing and a team you can actually get hold of.
Farrar combines practical joinery knowledge with modern manufacturing methods. The aim is not to replace craftsmanship with machinery, but to use each where it contributes most.
Experienced joiners interpret the drawings, understand how the components meet and recognise the small details that affect the final result.
Every window and door passes through the same hands: the people who interpret the drawings, prepare the timber, assemble the joinery, apply the finish, inspect the result and coordinate delivery.
Reviewing requirements, drawings, product choices and the information needed for quotation.
Turning project information into accurate purpose-made components.
Preparing, coating, assembling and checking the completed product.
Helping customers understand lead times, delivery and the next practical step.
External joinery experiences changing temperature, moisture, sunlight and repeated use. Material selection therefore has to support stability, durability, finishing and maintainability.
Farrar's focus on Accoya is part of the complete joinery system rather than a stand-alone badge.
Selected for dimensional stability, durability and long-term coating performance.
We build every window and door from Accoya. Accsys, the company that makes Accoya, warrants the timber against rot and fungal decay for 50 years above ground, or 25 years where it sits within 20cm of the ground.
The warranty covers the wood itself. The paint finish needs looking after like any exterior joinery, and we will tell you what that involves.
A clear process reduces uncertainty and helps homeowners, builders and architects provide the right information at the right time.
Farrar reviews the building, product type, project stage, location and available drawings or photographs.
The design, proportions, materials, glazing, finish and practical requirements are coordinated.
Purpose-made components are machined, assembled, finished and checked in the Yorkshire workshop.
Completed joinery is prepared for nationwide delivery or installation where separately arranged.
Share photographs, dimensions or an outline of the project and the Farrar team can help identify the most useful next step.
