Central Joinery Group: Our People, Our Process, Our Promise
Central Joinery Group: Our People, Our Process, Our Promise
When you’re choosing a joinery partner, you’re not just buying timber; you’re trusting someone with your home, your build, and your vision.
We don’t take that lightly.
Let us show you why so many homeowners, developers, and designers choose Central Joinery Group, and why they stay with us.
From Family Workshop to UK-Wide Reputation
What began in 1993 with Neil Bark, a small Swadlincote workshop, and a promise to do things properly has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted names in bespoke joinery.
Neil didn’t launch Central Joinery Group with grand ambitions or outside investment. He started with craft, care, and commitment - building relationships one staircase, one balustrade, one timber order at a time. Over the years, that approach built a reputation for quality and reliability that still defines the business today.
From the company’s first branded vans to the specialist joinery capabilities we now offer nationwide, our growth has always been driven by one goal: to serve better, without ever compromising on the values we were built on.
Thirty years later, the team has grown, the tools are smarter, and the projects are bigger. But the heart of CJG remains the same — real people, real craftsmanship, and a legacy we’re proud to carry forward.
Engineered in the UK. Built to Last a Lifetime.
From a small workshop to a multimillion-pound operation, our growth has always had one goal: to serve better. Today, we’re a 40+ strong team delivering premium, bespoke joinery across the UK - powered by cutting-edge tools and a relentless commitment to the people who count on us.
Everything we produce is made right here in the Midlands. No outsourcing. No shortcuts. We handle every step - cutting, assembling, testing - to ensure long-lasting quality.
Despite scaling up, our values haven’t changed. Every detail is still crafted with the same dedication that shaped our start.
We Don’t Use Tech to Replace People - We Use It to Perfect Their Work
Technology should never replace craftsmanship. It should enhance it.
That’s why every staircase we create combines the best of both worlds: the precision of CNC machinery and the hands-on expertise of our craftsmen.
Our investment in cutting-edge technology like CNC routers, in-house dry-fitting, and the Ecogate energy-saving system isn’t about cutting corners - it’s about cutting every tread, riser, and balustrade perfectly, every time.
It’s how we deliver faster lead times, tighter tolerances, and even higher-quality finishes without losing the human touch that sets us apart.
2 Week Turnarounds Without Compromising Quality
When you work with us, you don’t have to choose between speed and craftsmanship. You get both.
We’re proud to offer industry-leading two-week lead times on many standard staircase and joinery products. A pace that keeps developments moving without sacrificing the quality or detail your project deserves.
Our dedication to efficient excellence has earned us national recognition, including the BWF Process & Resource Efficiency Award.
Because when you’re building dreams, whether it’s a beautiful home or a full development, you shouldn’t have to wait months to see them take shape.
Big Projects Trust Us - Because We Deliver, Every Time
From national housebuilders like Spitfire Homes and William Davis Homes, to premium developers like Springbourne Homes - we’re trusted to deliver high-quality joinery on complex, multi-plot developments across the UK.
Why do they come back to us?
Because we bring more than craftsmanship. We bring control, consistency, and clarity - across design, manufacture, and delivery.
It’s not just the quality of our work that keeps clients coming back.
It’s how we make their lives easier - solving problems before they arise, streamlining every step, and delivering with zero surprises.
No stress. No excuses. Just joinery done right - every time.
Built for Today. Designed for Tomorrow.
Sustainability You Can See and Feel in Every Project
For us, sustainability isn’t an afterthought - it’s built into everything we do. From the timbers we choose to the way we power our workshop, every decision is made with longevity, performance, and the planet in mind.
We’re proud to be approved manufacturers of Accoya®, one of the most sustainable and durable wood products on the market.
Accoya® doesn’t just perform well in harsh conditions, it’s designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance.
That means fewer repairs, fewer replacements, and more peace of mind for our clients.
Our Midlands facility is powered by renewable energy, including solar panels and a biomass boiler system.
We’ve also invested in Ecogate® extraction technology that reduces waste, improves air quality, and cuts down energy use.
These aren’t just green choices. They’re smart ones that improve how we work and how your project performs. Now and in the future.
For us, sustainability isn’t a sales pitch. It’s the foundation of everything we build, because great joinery should last in every sense of the word.
Bespoke Joinery Solutions Built Around You
One-size-fits-all doesn’t work when it comes to joinery. That’s why every staircase, external door, balustrade, window, or feature piece we create is completely tailored to the person, the space, and the project.
Whether you're an architect working to a specific design brief, a developer managing a high-volume build, or a homeowner looking to add something special - we listen first. Then we build.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation, continues with precision CAD design, and finishes with dry-fit tested joinery that’s ready for installation.
The result? No surprises on-site. Just well-made, well-finished, beautifully crafted joinery delivered on time and to spec.
Real Craftsmanship, Real People, Real Pride
Behind every staircase and bespoke piece is a team who takes pride in getting it right.
Our CAD technicians bring your ideas to life with precision.
Our joiners and machinists craft every detail with care, blending tradition and tech.
Our project managers keep things smooth, so you’re never chasing updates.
Our delivery team ensures it arrives on time, protected, and install-ready.
No shortcuts. No surprises. This is how we work.
Let’s Build Something That Lasts
We know it’s difficult to compare joinery quotes. Specs vary, quality’s hard to judge on paper, and not all manufacturers are created equal.
That’s why we invite you to see our work up close.
Our Derbyshire showroom isn’t a typical retail space - it’s an honest, hands-on look at the craftsmanship we’re proud to put our name to.
While we don’t have every option on display, what is there speaks volumes about our quality, attention to detail, and versatility.
You’ll find real projects, real materials, and real people ready to talk you through your vision without pressure.
Whether you’re choosing materials, refining your brief, or simply looking for a spark of inspiration, stepping into our showroom could give you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
