Janes Architectural

As a business we tend to specialise in high end residential projects for private clients and have worked closely with Meer End on many of these projects since around 2008.

We have a great working relationship with the team at Meer End, and we will often involve them at the detailed design stage of the project to finalise designs and agree costs of the specialist joinery elements up front. In addition, we will often introduce our clients to the company during the design stage so they can visit the workshop and discuss any specific requirements directly.

Over the years, they have supplied various specialist staircases including traditional, contemporary, Helical, Straight and with returns and various landing configurations. Many of the flights have had challenging configurations with continuous raking and curving handrail and guarding. In addition to the staircases, Meer End have assisted with the design and supply of internal and external doors and door sets, door linings along with bespoke skirting and architrave sets. They have also supplied and fitted large section oak window sub frames, timber flooring, and various fitted furniture including wardrobes / dressing rooms, bookcases.

All items have been produced in line with the quoted costs and required timing and the quality of the fitted product has been outstanding. Where ongoing maintenance or repairs are required during the life of the product, they have been more than happy to stand on and help resolve any issues promptly.

I can have no hesitation in recommending Meer End for the design, supply and installation of both specialist staircases and bespoke joinery products.

Meer End have produced numerous items of all aspects of joinery for my family since 2010. The attention to detail and quality is second to none, a great team of joiners, site fitters and designers. An individual bespoke service in true British style.

I started my renovations just before covid so everything got delayed and prices went up. It has been a challenging renovation. Meer -End were one of my handful of amazing suppliers who did an excellent job and were extremely patient with my indecisiveness with designs. I had normal bespoke doors made for upstairs and pocket doors for all of downstairs, some extremely large. They are amazing and we get asked all the time who made them. I had my stairs made and my vision and design was created exactly. My most recent order was a huge beautiful oak front door with surround. Colin and Damian were my designers and main point of contact and they gave me an excellent service. The fitters who attended to do the fittings were extremely skilful, meticulous as well as polite and friendly and always on time. Extremely pleased. I would definitely recommend and will be using for further projects.

Meer End have designed, built and installed staircases on a number of our projects over the years. The quality of the materials and craftmanship of the finished products speak for themselves, but the care and attention to detail put into the design process by Meer End is equally as critical for achieving the best outcome. Discussions on layouts, details and materials were open and collaborative resulting in some fantastic, and complicated, designs being realised.

We really enjoy working with the team at Meer-End. Their technical knowledge and seemingly magical ability to take our designs and collaborate with us to create the very best results is impressive. Stunning end products, but more than that they genuinely care for our business and for our clients. You can be assured you are in safe hands.

Dear Caroline and Warwick,

I wanted to reiterate my thanks and also send an additional than you on behalf of St Mary's Parochial Church Council for your generous donation of the beautifully crafted noticeboard.

There have been many favourable comments brought to my attention and, I include this qute from an email I recently received: "A new church noticeboard has been erected next to the Breadwalk. I must say that it looks absolutely wonderful. It looks to be excellently constructed and I commend the joiners. It really enhances the approaches to St Mary's and is everything we could have hoped for." David Warren, Chairman of the Friends of Temple Balsall.

We recognise that you have fitted this work in amongst your other commissions and have given it some priority to enable us to receive your gift during this special 350 Anniversary Year of the Foundation of Lady Katherine Leveson. How wonderful you are! Please pass on our gratitude to each member of your team who had a part to play rom design to fitting.

In gratitude and with prayers and wam wishes,

Revd Debbie Collins, Vicar of St Mart the Virgin Temple Balsall & Master of the Foundation of Lady Katherine Leveson.
