Generations of tradition and craftsmanship
breathe life into every Longden door.
Longden's tradition of quality which had its origins in the 19th
century continues into the 21st with doors of remarkable beauty,
doors fit to grace some of the finest building projects of our age.
The original Sheffield-based Longden company grew to become
one of the top ten building and civil engineering contractors
in 19th century Britain. With endless prestigious contracts,
including The George Hotel, Sheffield City Hall and the
Prudential Assurance Company, Longden always considers
traditional, apprentice-based craftsmanship and the development
of skills as its major strength.
As the architectural joinery and the production of high quality,
solid timber panelled doors flourished, Longden moved away
from the contractor business in 1978. Today, our tradition of
combining time-honoured skills with modern techniques to meet
modern, exacting performance standards continues, and it is
the Longden name that has remained and is enshrined on our
present-day range of beautiful handmade doors.
