Projects
Firmdale Hotels PLC
 
A major client of ours for the last twenty years, Firmdales, own five star luxury boutique hotels in central London, the names and locations of which illustrate the standards of quality and service we have had to achieve as their main joinery supplier;
The Covent Garden Hotel, No. 16, The Dorset Square Hotel (currently being refurbished, for which we will be re-making the period windows amongst other things), The Charlotte Street Hotel, The Knightsbridge Hotel (next to Harrods), The Soho Hotel and The Haymarket Hotel. They also own The Crosby Street Hotel in Manhatten, New York where amongst other items we were asked to make and export the bar.  We have supplied the hotels with everything from mini bars to stairs, doors, windows and furniture to skirting, shop fronts, kitchens and roof lights. We even made the hen house that was exported to the New York hotel so that they could have their own hens laying on the roof to keep their guests in fresh free range eggs! Celebrity guests are a regular occurrence – so Madonna has been hanging her corsets in our wardrobes in Soho, while the Beckhams have sipped cocktails at our swimming pool  bar in Haymarket; Halle Berry, Meg Ryan and Daniel Day Lewis have eaten the eggs produced by the hens in New York kept happy by our cosy hen house! What with Courtney Love and Meryl Streep dropping by, we couldn’t produce anything but the best for this celebrity clientele!
 
Their next major projects that we will be supplying to are in both London and New York. In Ham Yard, Soho, London they have started a new £100 million project to include a 90  bedroom hotel, above retails units, bars and restaurants and luxury roof top penthouse apartments. In New York they have also bought a second site and work will be commencing there in the near future.  We also supply all of their ongoing maintenance needs – bath panels, cupboards, shelves, etc., and have recently been involved with the refurbishment of their new head office in Golden Square off Regent Street, where we have re-produced the period windows, and supplied all the fitted furniture to the offices.
 
The success story that is the relationship between Farnham Joinery and Firmdales is down to the close working relationship developed between our proprietor Frank McLoughlin  and their project manager Ron Cheles, who acknowledges this on our testimonials page.The owners of Firmdales, Tim and Kit Kemp have won many business and design awards for the hotels which they design and develop themselves. It is therefore a source of pride to us that they choose us to produce the joinery they require for their own beautiful homes in London, on the south coast and in the Caribbean.
 
St. Pancras Chambers, Kings Cross
 
The huge re-development of this beautiful old station has been one of the biggest projects in London in years. We are proud to say that we were appointed by Galliford Try to manufacture the original Gothic arch windows at this grade 1 listed building which are situated in the new luxury £200 million hotel there, The Renaissance St. Pancras Hotel. They were 4m high with old fashioned complex joints that had to be re-produced exactly to adhere to strict English Heritage regulations. We also reproduced other period windows there such as in the hotel lobby, and supplied the solid American oak flooring to the iconic Booking Office Bar & Restaurant. Mike Pereira, the purchasing manager for  Galliford Try makes his comments on our testimonial page.
 
We also carry out smaller works for builders, architects, developers and private clients, for example;
 
Flooring & conservatory extension in London SW1, for John Gray, solicitor
A sliding door & roof light for the food writer Diane Henry
