At Gascoyne Joinery, we take pride in blending traditional craftsmanship with precision joinery. We recently completed a unique project in Mansfield town centre, restoring the iconic Dial Pub, a Grade II listed building and local landmark, with bespoke timber windows and doors.
Bringing History Back to Life with Bespoke Timber Windows
The Dial Pub holds a special place in Mansfield’s heritage. However, its original timber windows had severely deteriorated. They were rotting and no longer provided adequate protection or visual appeal.
That’s when the team at Gascoyne Joinery stepped in. We were commissioned to create bespoke wooden windows that would exactly match the originals. This included detailed replication based on old photographs to preserve the building’s historic charm.
Exact Match Joinery – Crafted by Local Specialists
We used Douglas fir, a highly durable softwood, to replicate the original window profiles. Our joiners recreated every detail, including the internal mouldings, using traditional methods.
To ensure a lasting finish, we applied a four-coat paint system. This added durability while enhancing the visual appearance.
Most importantly, we didn’t compromise on authenticity:
- The top two floors feature sliding sash windows, using traditional metal weights and cords.
- Each window was fully finished in our workshop and installed on-site by our skilled fitters.
- Every piece was made to match the original design, maintaining the look and feel of the building.
Before and After – A True Transformation
The original windows were in poor condition. They were rotting and no longer fit for purpose. Now, the building has been fully revitalised with new timber windows that are both energy-efficient and historically accurate.
Thanks to our attention to detail, the building’s exterior has been restored to reflect its original glory.
