Over a Century of Timber Craftsmanship

Founded in Brighton in 1921, AA Taylor has been creating exceptional bespoke joinery for over 100 years — combining traditional skills with modern precision.

OUR STORY

A Brighton Institution Since 1921

AA Taylor was founded in Brighton over a century ago, and our workshop at Shaftesbury Place has been producing exceptional joinery ever since. What started as a traditional joinery shop has evolved into one of the South East's most respected manufacturers — without ever losing the craft values that defined us from day one.

Today we combine master craftsmanship with CNC precision, producing bespoke timber windows, doors, and staircases for homeowners, architects, developers and contractors across Sussex and the wider South East.

We remain an independently owned business. Every piece that leaves our workshop carries the weight of our reputation — and we take that seriously.

WHAT DRIVES US

Our Values

Uncompromising Craft

Every piece is manufactured by skilled craftspeople in our Brighton workshop. We do not outsource manufacturing or cut corners on materials. The quality of what we produce is a direct reflection of who we are.

Complete Transparency

We provide honest lead times, clear pricing, and straightforward communication throughout your project. If an issue arises — and occasionally they do — we tell you immediately and solve it proactively.

Built to Last

We use only premium, sustainably sourced timber and specify finishing systems for longevity. Our products are engineered to outperform alternatives over decades, not just seasons.

How We Work

Consultation

We start by listening. Understanding your project, timeline, budget, and specification requirements before we offer any solutions.

Design & Drawing

Our technical team produces detailed CAD drawings and specifications for your approval before any wood is cut.

Manufacture

Master craftsmen build your joinery in our Brighton workshop. Every stage is quality-checked against your approved specification.

Delivery & Install

We deliver to site and our installation teams ensure a perfect fit. We do not leave until you are satisfied with the result.
