GNA Carpentry about us
We are a Bath based company taking in the surrounding counties.
As a team of time served carpenters GNA have amassed an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of carpentry and joinery.
From very humble beginnings.
George started his career apprenticed to F.W.Hawker of Batheaston, where after four years he aquired his City & Guilds and later his Advanced Craft Certificate.

Both George and Ady completed four year apprenticeships, and although carpentry and joinery was their chosen field each branched into slightly different directions.
Whilst still under the employ of F.W.Hawker George decided to move away from the workshop and to concentrate on work "in the field" where he felt more at home, Ady on the other hand, still under the employment of Imperial Shopfitting, remained in the joiner shop fine tuning his joinery skills.
In 1980 Ady left Imperial Shopfitting looking for work closer to home and gained a position at F.W.Hawker, the rest is history, he met with George and they have been partners in carpentry ever since.
Georges skill on site and Adys knowledge of workshop joinery proved to be a winning combination and together they have completed many projects around the country from the unusual to the commonplace but always with a joy of working with wood !
Ady was apprenticed to the Imperial Shopfitting Company in Bristol where he also gained his City & Guilds and subsequently his Advanced Craft Certificate.

For many years we have provided a comprehensive service, working both in the mainstream of contract building work and on a more personal level with private customers, it has been our endeavour over the years to push the boundaries of our field, whilst working within the traditional constraints of carpentry and joinery and yet bringing a modern approach to our work.
It has always been our aim to be "people friendly" and you will find us very easy to chat to and work with, we offer helpfull pertenant advice and where possible relevant explanation of different techniques adopted for your project.
Project size is unimpotant, every job is given the same level of prestige, be it a humble window or a more demanding piece of bespoke joinery, commitment to satisfaction is our aim not only to the customer but to us, we have always believed that "job satisfaction" is a primary concern within any ones work.
Our list of satisfied customers is very long, and I think it's fair to say that not once in all our years of working together have we ever had a dissatisfied one !
Our years together have been happy ones, and although both brought up using traditional techniques and methods we have seen many changes, some good some not so good, we have always embraced anything new in the belief that being able to adapt gave us an edge. Applying our own personal skills when working with modern and traditional materials has meant we are able to be both forward thinking and versatile, no project has ever stumped us and working with our customers we are always able to provide solutions and ideas to combat the many and varied problems encountered within each particular build.
