Viking Joinery in short

Viking Joinery is a small family workshop in Lightmoor making made-to-measure timber windows, doors, garage doors, gates, roof lanterns, staircases and glasshouses. Two head joiners with fifty years of combined experience stand behind the output. A landline, mobile, email and quote form sit beside the workshop address.

Customer reviews are perfect at 5 out of 5 on Google across eleven published reviews. Our judgement is that the breadth of the service list, each section written in detail, marks a workshop that knows its craft. Window and door replacements are the natural brief.

What counts against Viking Joinery is paperwork: no insurance details, prices or industry qualifications are published, and none could be sourced from the registers or platforms checked. Our view is that finished-work evidence is good and the file is thin. Use the quote form to test both.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Viking Joinery suits you if you want made-to-measure timber windows and doors from a small family workshop, with its two head joiners' long experience to the fore [1]. Eleven five-star Google reviews support the workmanship [4]. What counts against it is the paperwork: insurance, prices and qualifications stay off the page.

Questions about Viking Joinery

Is Viking Joinery any good?

On the evidence, yes for bespoke timber work: it sits sixth in our Telford table, with a perfect Google record and long combined experience behind its two head joiners. The gaps are insurance, prices and qualifications. Send your measurements through the quote form.

Is Viking Joinery registered with a trade scheme?

No industry qualifications could be sourced from the registers, the firm's website or the platforms checked. That is scored as insufficient evidence rather than a failing. Ask the workshop directly what it holds and confirm anything you rely on in writing.

What does Viking Joinery charge?

It publishes no prices, with a quote form on the contact page instead. Send measurements and photographs and ask for materials, labour and VAT separated. Ask whether the quote includes VAT and what changes the price if the scope shifts. Confirm the price in writing before work starts.

Where does Viking Joinery work?

The workshop sits on Lightmoor Road in Telford and names Shropshire inside its patch. Send your postcode with the job details to confirm you are covered. Expect made-to-measure lead times for bespoke pieces. Larger commissions may travel further than small local jobs.
