The houses here

What Dalston is actually built of.

Dalston is our own village. Bob Postlethwaite started the firm here in 1972 and we have never been anywhere else. The village runs from the older sandstone cottages and the terraces around the square out to the newer estates on the Carlisle side, with farms and converted buildings along the Caldew in between. We have fitted furniture in a good many of these houses, and in several of them more than once.

Being a mile from the job has a practical effect people underestimate. If something needs adjusting after the fit, it is not a scheduling problem. It is a van and ten minutes. The same is true in five years when a hinge goes: the workshop that made the door is still here, and still has the drawing.

Questions from Dalston

You are actually based in Dalston, not just serving it?

The workshop is at Lingey Close, in the village, and has been on that site since 1972. The showroom, the machine shop and the paint shop are all on the same site, and the vans go out from here.

Can I look round the workshop?

Ask when you come to the showroom. It is a working shop with machinery running, so it is not an open house, but people who want to see where their kitchen will be made are generally the people we most like talking to.

We cover the whole of this corner.
