GG Joinery offers prime quality solid Oak worktops.

Full stave European Oak worktops made to order

• We manufacture Oak worktops in our workshop in Codford, Wiltshire. From machining kiln-dried sawn European Oak timber to creating beautiful full stave worktops, we have full control of the entire process.

• Solid Oak worktops are supplied untreated with square edges and corners as standard.

• Our full stave worktops are constructed from wide planks of Oak that run the full length of the worktop to ensure maximum durability and strength throughout years of constant use.

• Each stave is a random width but is generally between 120mm - 200mm wide.

• Oak panels and worktops are sanded to a 120-grit finish.

• We can provide beautiful and bespoke Oak worktops for a range of uses. If you need a new kitchen worktop, new breakfast bar, new kitchen island or new desk top please check our offer.

• GG Joinery also offers bespoke wooden worktops cut to size, in both width and length.

• We can cut out the holes for the hobs and sinks. We can make edge profiles, like pencil edges, rounded edges, chamfered edges, and ogee edges.
