Our History

Woodstock was started in 1978 and opened our first showroom in Packenham Street in North London of that year. When we first opened we specialised in the manufacture of solid maple mobile butchers blocks! The company quickly expanded and after a couple of years were making dressers and tables and finally went into the production of solid timber kitchens using mainly Maple and Cherry woods.

From the start, quality and longevity have been at the heart of the company, and are what have helped us remain a key player in the kitchen industry for the past 40 years.

We now produce furniture for every room of the house and throughout this time we have chosen not to expand the company, unlike many of our competitors, allowing us to keep a strong relationship with our existing clients and provide the same personal, friendly service to our new clients. Due to this close relationship with our clients we have found that 85% of our business is either repeat or recommendation.

In 2004 Andrew Hall took ownership of Woodstock Furniture and quickly purchased our current workshops in Andover, Hampshire. There we built our main showroom next to the workshops giving clients the opportunity to see their furniture being made if they choose to visit the showroom.

We still have every project that Woodstock has completed on file in our achieves which we often call upon to carry out modification or refurbishment work.

Our Ethos

As the owner and managing director of Woodstock Furniture, I've spent a great deal of time with clients – discussing different options, providing some creative inspiration, but above all, listening. In all the years I've been involved with the business, I've never tried to sell anyone a particular ‘range' or impose my views on them. After all, it's their kitchen, bathroom or living space, rather than mine.

At our workshop in Hampshire, we have craftsmen who use traditional machinery to create beautiful and bespoke pieces of furniture. I'm always confident that we can take a client's idea and work with it, producing a design that's individual and distinctive. In short, our philosophy has always been the same: with the right thinking, open discussion and some real dedication, anything becomes possible.

Awards

Thoughts from Our Clients

We are delighted with both your design and workmanship – the kitchen looks fabulous!

We absolutely, totally love the kitchen, cannot speak highly enough of it and so happy with the choice of materials, the heights and so on.

We are still so happy with the drawers rather than the low cupboards, your attention to the last detail, the maple top with the insert, just great and we have had so, so many positive comments. We are always delighted to tell people that it is a REAL purpose-designed kitchen of the finest materials, made by guys who really care about the final product. Long may you keep going the way that you are!

Mr. & Mrs. G, Surrey

The furniture is wonderful and we are delighted with it-we have to keep touching the smoothness of the finish. You, Andrew, designed a lovely kitchen for us and we thank you very much.

Mrs H Hampshire

This is a letter of appreciation of our fitter whom I met during the completion of the fitting of our kitchen. I know absolutely nothing about joinery but I was very impressed by the trouble he took and his attention to detail. As I said to A when I wrote to him on completion of the job, I would have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending Woodstock Furniture. I wouldn’t be surprised if Woodstock didn’t get work from our children some time in the future.

Mrs T-B Hampshire

I felt I must let you know how pleased I am with the cabinets which were fitted in my sitting room on Friday. The whole thing is so delightful- the real wood, the colour of the wood, the design of the units and the way it has been fitted. I cannot stop admiring it!!

Mrs C Winchester

I just thought it would be nice to receive a latter from a very satisfied customer. I wanted to thank you and all the team (particularly all the people in the factory) for producing a really excellent design and beautifully manufactured kitchen for our home. I am sure that we shall be Woodstock Furniture clients again in the future.

Mrs S Hampstead

May both of us thank you so much for your splendid interpretation of our requirement for the main bedroom furniture. We are delighted with the result and it has made so much difference. We are so pleased with the furniture and the special efforts of yourself and K to meet our wishes and would like to congratulate you both on such a splendid result. We hope that we will be able to use your services again in the not too distant future.

Mr and Mrs H

Now that our Woodstock kitchen is installed, I want to tell you how absolutely delighted we are. The quality of the units and also the fitting is excellent. You told me I could have whatever I wanted and I have actually got JUST what I wanted. How often does that happen! I am particularly impressed by the workmanship on the inside of the units. It is impeccable and the cupboards and drawers are a joy to use. Thank you so much for your time and patience and I will happily recommend you to anyone who will listen.

Mrs J Richmond, Surrey

Your head may be full of new designs, and our tall cupboards and fridge housing have doubtless been overtaken by many other projects. Nevertheless, we wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the results of your labours. Everything has worked very well indeed and we are grateful to you and your colleagues for the evident professionalism and care. It is nice to find that some people will still go that extra mile. We do hope the business continues to thrive under your guidance. It deserves to do so. In the fullness of time-who knows-we may have another woodcraft wheeze for which your special talents will be again in demand.

Mr and Mrs W Southgate, London

Andrew, I wanted to say that the furniture looks wonderful and I am very pleased with everything that Woodstock has done. I’ve been very impressed with the service and the level of professionalism from yourself and K and Woodstock in general and I will not hesitate to recommend Woodstock in the future. Thank you for everything , including help with choosing the colour for the walls, which I am very pleased with. If I have any need for bespoke, quality furniture installation in the future I will not hesitate to get in contact. Kind regards

Mr W Whitechapel, London
