Rot protection specialists Postsaver are delighted to announce Erla Garden Joinery Ltd as its Approved Installer of the Year for 2026.
Based in Wells, Somerset, the family-run business specialises in garden and landscape carpentry and joinery, creating everything from fencing and decking to summer houses, verandas and bespoke outdoor structures. Erla Garden Joinery joined the Postsaver Approved Installer Programme two years ago and has since become a regular user of Postsaver’s rot protection products.
Founded in 2024 by owner and operator Aiden Matterface, Erla Garden Joinery grew from a lifelong passion for the outdoors and woodworking. Aiden first discovered his love of working with timber in his grandfather’s shed and has since turned that early hobby into a thriving business.
The award-winning project was a substantial raised timber deck, featuring bespoke balustrades and two sets of stairs. Completed for a customer in Street, Somerset, the project combined practical design with high-quality craftsmanship, with Postsaver rot protectors used to provide guaranteed protection against timber rot at the ground line.
Speaking about the award, Aiden said:
“We’re delighted to be named as Postsaver’s Approved Installer of the Year. Since we began working with Postsaver, we’ve used their products on almost every job. We appreciate that the projects we complete are often huge investments for our customers, and we want them to last.
“Being able to pass that guarantee on to the customer at the end of a job gives them, and us, real peace of mind.”
Claire Owen, Sales Manager at Postsaver, said:
“Our Approved Installer Programme has enjoyed another fantastic year of growth, and we’ve seen some exceptional projects shared through our social channels and entered into the competition.
“Erla Garden Joinery stood out for the quality of their work and the care they put into delivering projects that are built to last. We’re delighted to recognise Aiden and the team as our Approved Installer of the Year for 2026.
“There are a whole host of contractors out there doing brilliant work, often in challenging conditions, and after one of the toughest summers for the fencing market, they all deserve to be celebrated. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with our existing installers and welcoming new members to the programme over the coming year.”
The Postsaver Approved Installer Programme supports businesses of all sizes, from independent landscapers and fencing contractors to larger-scale contracting businesses. Members benefit from preferential product rates, a listing on the Postsaver website and opportunities to have their work promoted through Postsaver’s social media channels and to homeowners looking for trusted regional contractors.
For Erla Garden Joinery, the award is recognition not only of one standout project, but of its ongoing commitment to quality, craftsmanship and creating outdoor spaces designed to stand the test of time.
