Est. 1999 · Sherburn in Elmet
Bailey Hague Joinery was founded by Robert and Susannah Bailey-Hague in 1999. Nearly three decades on, we're still family run, still based in Yorkshire, and still spending the extra hour on the details that most people never think to notice.
Robert Bailey-Hague started the business in 1999 with a simple idea: timber joinery, done properly, using materials chosen to outlast the property they're fitted to. From the first small workshop in Yorkshire to the setup we run today, that hasn't changed.
Susannah joined shortly after, and the two of them have run the company together ever since — Robert leading design, specification and site work; Susannah looking after clients, projects and the office.
We work from a base at Moor Lane Trading Estate in Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire, with a small team of craftsmen, fitters, and surveyors. Everything we design, specify and install — sash windows, casements, storm-proof windows, entrance doors, heritage doors, French and bifold sets — is made from timber and hung by our own team on site.
We've completed full-house window installations, listed-building restorations, and single-door replacements across York, Harrogate, Leeds, Wetherby, and beyond. Every one gets the same standard of finish.
What we believe
01
We work in Accoya, engineered hardwood, and oak. Timbers we can stand behind for 50+ years, not the cheapest board in the yard.
02
Every window and door is drawn, specified, and built to the property it's fitting into — not adapted from a stock size.
03
Our craftsmen do the install. No subcontracted fitters, no unfamiliar faces turning up on your driveway.
04
Robert and Susannah still run the day-to-day. If you speak to us, you're speaking to the people responsible for the job.
Credentials & training
Full Certass Trade Association membership. Every installation is registered and self-certified for Building Regulations Part L compliance.
Trained to specify and work Accoya, the modified softwood with a 50-year above-ground durability warranty and Class 1 dimensional stability. It's what we recommend as standard.
Our windows and doors are engineered to PAS24:2016 enhanced security standards — the same specification required for New Build under Approved Document Q.
Every installation carries a 10-year Insurance Backed Guarantee via HomePro, so your investment is protected even in the unlikely event we're no longer trading.
