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.
