Services
Add or maintain the character of your home with bespoke wooden windows. Available in traditional and contemporary styles to suit your requirements, our expertise includes box sash windows and casement windows. Take a look at our gallery for some examples of the high-quality work we have completed across Northumberland.
If you're looking to replace your old sliding doors or extending your home wooden lift and slide patio doors can be a great alternative. Sliding doors can be made with much larger glass panels compared to French Doors or Bi-folding doors, therefore a great choice to make the most of your view. If you are creating a large glazed area sliding doors are ideal.
We specialise in heritage work including listed buildings, where replacement windows and doors must be similar in style and material to the originals. We manufacture like-for-like products to exceptional standards, and can also provide specifications and drawings for the Conservation Officer at your local council.
We live in a listed head teacher's house and like to ensure that, despite the expense, everything fitted new is authentic and will be sustainable. We have just had made/fitted a new front door by Neil and his team and are very pleased with the quality of every aspect of the work. Our specification was followed perfectly and we were also allowed sneak previews of the door as it was crafted.

I am so delighted with my new back door from Ochiltree. Every communication has been helpful, friendly and they came up with a design that was exactly what I wanted. The workmanship is extraordinary, such high quality. The fitters came exactly on time, worked their socks off and were utterly charming. The door is quite simply PERFECT! Thank you. x

Neil and his team have replaced all the windows and doors in our Grade 2 listed stone cottage. From the original consultation with Neil down to the final fitting, the team have been incredibly professional and friendly. The windows themselves are stunning and the fitters installed them with great care and attention to detail. We could not be happier with the result - would thoroughly recommend them. True craftsmen - thanks guys!

Ochiltree made and installed our wooden doors. They were absolutely perfect and better looking than we had imagined. We had obtained many quotations, and not only was Ochiltree the most reasonable by far, but the subsequent work also exceed expectations. The communication was excellent and there was attention to detail at every step of the way. It's very refreshing to deal with such a professional company.

Neil and the Ochiltree team replaced the windows and doors in our cottage in 2017 and the fact that they look as good now as they did on the day they were installed is testimony to the quality and craftsmanship of Ochiltree bespoke joinery. Our cottage is early 18th century and not straight forward. However, Neil and his team responded to the challenges and provided a friendly, expert service from initial consultation right through to installation. The final product complemented our old cottage beautifully and has been, and still is, a head turner for passers by.

Ochiltree fitted 3 Accoya casement windows, a tricky arch window/door and a stable door in our 170 year old cottage. The advice, workmanship and attention to detail has been outstanding. From Neil's initial visit to the final fitting by Peter, Neil and Jonathan everything has been extremely professional and thorough. We needn't have worried about a thing. Neil kept us informed every step of the way and the final result is stunning. He enjoys his job which is very apparent in his work. A job well done and we would thoroughly recommend Ochiltree and team. Thank you Sharon & Gary.
