Overcoming the Challenges of Winchester Approval

Winchester City Council maintains a meticulous management plan for its open spaces and cemeteries to ensure all new furniture respects the city’s unique character. To maintain the integrity of sites like the Abbey Gardens or West Hill Cemetery the council requires furniture of institutional quality that is sustainably sourced. Families often find the technical requirements for oil rich teak and the specific term lengths for dedications to be a significant barrier. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms our Grade A teak is 100% FSC certified proving your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety.

Heritage Grade Specifications for Historic Sites

To ensure your tribute remains a dignified landmark we only supply timber scrupulously checked for grain density and structural integrity. Our Great Maytham range is an excellent choice for Winchester because its heavyweight profile and traditional mortise and tenon joinery meet the structural requirements for high traffic sites while providing the classic look required for the city’s historic cemeteries like Magdalen Hill or the quiet corners of the city’s recreation grounds.
