Joinery workbench with hand tools in the workshop

Our workshop

Made in ourown workshop.

Every piece of Uno joinery is made at The Green, Irish Street, in Downpatrick. Making it ourselves is how we control quality, finish and lead times.

Many fit-out companies buy their joinery in. We make ours. The people drawing a reception desk can walk over and check a detail with the joiner making it, and a dimension that changes on Tuesday can be in production on Wednesday.

Why we make our own joinery

It means one team is accountable for the result, from the drawing to the finished piece on site.

  • Shop drawings produced in-house
  • Quality checked before anything leaves the workshop
  • Shorter, more reliable lead times
  • Faster changes when a site dimension moves
