Accoya Window Sash - Mt Edgecoombe Estate

I’m Josh Elleschild, a joiner & creative based in South East Cornwall.

I specialise in bespoke, one of a kind projects, ranging from fitted cabinetry and heritage doors all the way to contemporary kitchens, architectural staircases and commercial shop fittings. I find great joy in bringing thoughtful design and elegance to objects often regarded as mundane.

I’ve also designed my own high performance, sliding sash window that both holds true to the delightful details of time tested tradition, whilst discreetly boasting the benefits of modern high-performance windows.

A key principle in my work is that it should outlast me. Whilst a great deal of today’s joinery products use easily manufactured finger joints that rely on adhesives for their strength and fast grown pine with very natural little resistance to rot and decay - I have reverted back traditional joinery techniques that have stood the test of time.

Combined with a carefully considered choice of materials, for example Accoya that is warranted for 50 years against rot and decay above ground and 30 years underwater - I can walk away from a commission knowing what I have created could last centuries, not years.

More about my approach

Josh’s creativity and professionalism were exceptional. He went above and beyond to create pieces that saw every single detail considered, and with an aesthetic that is destined to be appreciated for decades to come.

His work was carried out with total care, and with a consistent efficiency, which, coupled with the fantastic results, will ensure we look to continue working together for all our future projects.

We asked Josh to help us with our shop refurbishment which meant removing a wall, joining two rooms together seamlessly and creating beautiful birch ply furniture to our specifications. Working with Josh was a pleasure, he listened carefully to our ideas and was really helpful in suggesting solutions for tricky problems. He designed and built a beautiful hanging area for our handmade linen clothing and was careful to reuse any birch ply we had available to help save waste. Josh is very precise and finishes work to the highest of quality. We are super happy with the work that Josh did for us at Helen Round and would certainly recommend his services.
