The Gilded Key is a full-service home atelier in the deco tradition — renovation, security, energy and care, executed by vetted master trades with fixed pricing and a five-year written promise.
Founded in 2008 as a two-person joinery, The Gilded Key now keeps eighteen trades under one gold-leafed roof — and still signs every job by hand.
To return craftsmanship to the centre of home improvement — vetted master trades, itemised fixed pricing and day-by-day schedules, so every household can commission work with the confidence of a grand hotel.
A city of homes that are safer, warmer and more energy-independent than the decade before — streets where every façade, fixture and flourish is kept to a golden standard, one commission at a time.
Filter by wing of the house, or select any service to pre-fill a quote request. Every commission is fixed-price, scheduled in writing and covered for five years.
Anyone can promise. We engrave it, sign it, and stand behind it for years.
Fewer than one in nine applicants earn a place on our crews. Every tradesperson is certified, background-checked and rated by clients after each commission.
Your quote is itemised to the last hinge — and it does not move. No hourly creep, no mystery material surcharges, no asterisks in the fine print.
A day-by-day schedule is issued before work begins — and we credit you 2% of the project cost for every day we run beyond it. Deadlines here have teeth.
Every installation carries five full years of workmanship cover, layered over all manufacturer warranties. One call resolves whatever arises.
FSC-certified timber, low-VOC finishes and recyclable composites are specified as standard on every job — never dressed up as a premium extra.
A single named contact manages your commission from first sketch to final walkthrough — the same person, the same number, every time you call.
The five questions we hear most often, answered as we would across your table.
