About Us
Origin Woodworks was established in Norwich by Paul Stanbridge in 2022. We produce bespoke, handcrafted joinery and furniture with an emphasis on sustainability and longevity. From our large workshops in Norwich and Runhall (between Wymondham and Dereham), fully equipped with the best modern machinery, we design and produce doors, windows, staircases and architectural features using a multitude of timber types, often incorporating metal- and glasswork. With Norfolk boasting more listed buildings than any other county in England, we also undertake heritage work, both conservation and bespoke design and manufacture, in accordance with the legal obligations of listed building consent (LBC). We work with architects, project managers, building contractors and direct with clients to produce joinery whose function and design integrates with and enhances the unique aesthetic of the built space around it.

Bespoke Furniture
Transform your living space with furniture that reflects your style. Each piece is designed and crafted to your unique specifications
​
We love working with clients in the design and production of one-of-a-kind pieces of handcrafted furniture. There is nothing more exciting than the process of gradually turning a few initial ideas and rough sketches into a fully finished and beautiful material object. We use only the finest grades of timber in our furniture making, predominantly oak, cherry and walnut. The value of commissioning us to make your piece of furniture – be it a bathroom cabinet, four poster bed, coffee table, lamp, or so on – is that every detail is designed to fit your unique requirements. If you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, please get in touch – we can make it happen.

Custom Joinery
Unlock the potential of your home with joinery that melds form with function
Here at Origin Woodworks we have accrued a wealth of experience in the production of all manner of internal and external joinery. We can produce doors to any design – stable, arched, panelled, French, etc. We know the importance of getting the details right for both function and appearance: we make sure that our doors and windows will look perfectly at place from day one, and will perform well for decades to come. All our joinery is carefully designed to fit the existing aesthetic of a property – mouldings matched, proportions attended to. Glazing, insulation, timber type and seal design are specified in order to meet and exceed the requirements of current legislation in regard to thermal efficiency. Our windows are designed for elegance and thermal and acoustic performance. We use only traditional methods in our door, window and staircase joinery to ensure tight joints that remain solid for decades to come – no gaps at the bottom of your doors, no drooping sashes, no squeaky steps. We tend to finish our external joinery in linseed paint for best durability, and to install using oakum and lime putty or burnt sand mastic. These traditional methods using time-tested materials enable wood to breathe, and to expand and contract. Moisture can evaporate away instead of getting trapped behind impermeable layers of modern paint or foam. This dramatically reduces the risk of rot.

Elegant Cabinetry
Elevate your living space with cabinetry that combines style with utility
Origin Woodworks can design, make and install whole kitchens, bedrooms, media walls – or just a single bedside cabinet. As a small workshop, we have the flexibility to design and produce cabinetry in virtually any style, and not only in timber-based products. We can also work with composite materials, stone, glass and modern solid laminates. Every room has its quirks and limitations; what we like doing at Origin is getting the best out of that space – making it work efficiently and effectively for you. Whether you are after a new kitchen, wardrobe or vanity unit, some alcove cupboards or bespoke shelving, we can get your room looking and working just as you want it to.

We ensure that every piece of timber we use is heartwood-only, and free of knots, shakes, splits and other imperfections. We are dedicated to producing pieces that will still be beautiful and function perfectly for decades to come. Our meticulous attention to detail sets us apart, delivering products that redefine elegance and durability.
