INTRODUCING

Form Builder

A form builder for Elementor: text, email, select, radio and checkbox fields, validation and styling, without a form plugin.

MERIDIAN WORKS — SHEFFIELD, EST. 2009

We build

Twelve makers, one workshop floor, and a waiting list we are honest about. Tell us what you want built and we will tell you when we can start it.

Start a project

Four questions. No sales call unless you ask for one.

COMMISSIONS

Tell us the room. We will tell you the number.

Most quotes take five working days. The complicated ones take longer, and we say so on day one rather than day thirty.

VISIT THE WORKSHOP

See the joints before you commit to them.

Saturday mornings we open the doors. Bring your drawings, your worst measurements and a coffee — we will do the rest.

TRADE

Trade accounts, thirty-day terms.

Architects, main contractors and kitchen studios. Open an account and you get workshop pricing, drawings in DWG, and a named maker on every job.

DISPATCH

One letter a month. Timber prices, new work, nothing else.

No more than twelve a year, written on a Friday afternoon by whoever is least covered in sawdust.

Unsubscribe in one click. We never pass an address on.

AFTERCARE

Something loose? Send it back.

Timber moves. Doors drop. That is not a fault, it is a Tuesday — and it is covered for as long as you own the piece.

Every aftercare job in 2025 closed inside ten days

WORKSHOP FLOOR

We take two apprentices a year.

Four years, paid from day one, and you own your own tools by the end of it. No qualifications needed — bring something you have made instead.

Apply for a bench

SAMPLES

Six timbers, posted flat, no charge.

Screens lie about oak. Pick the ones you are torn between and we will send offcuts from the same boards we would build with — sanded on one face, raw on the other.

BEFORE WE CUT ANYTHING

Book the measured survey.

One of our fitters spends two hours with a laser and a notebook. Everything after that — drawings, price, lead time — hangs off what they write down.

Free inside Sheffield. £75 beyond, refunded against the order.

PRESS & STOCKISTS

Media kit, high-res, no watermark.

Photographs of finished work, the maker biographies, and a page on how we source. Take what you need — credit the maker, not the studio.

Photographs by Ellen Fairhurst, free to use with credit.

RESTORATION

We will look at your grandmother’s sideboard.

Not everything is worth saving, and we will tell you when it is not. Send a description and we will come back with an honest estimate — including “leave it alone”.

Estimates are free. We charge from the moment a chisel touches it, not before.

THE SHEAF STOOL — BATCH 04

Forty a year. Then the
the bench.

One maker, one week, forty stools in steamed ash. When batch four is spoken for we stop and the bench goes back to commissions. Batch three sold in nine days.

THURSDAY NIGHTS

Eight benches. Six weeks. One dovetailed box to take home.

Not a taster session. You will sharpen your own chisel on week one and you will cut the same joint badly about forty times before it goes right.

Autumn term sold out in eleven days

AFTER DELIVERY

How did we do?

Two questions, thirty seconds. It goes to the maker who built the piece, not to a marketing folder — and the awkward answers are the useful ones.

We publish the bad ones too. Ask to see them.

ASK A MAKER

Ask us about

No sales team sits between you and the bench. Questions go straight to whoever is closest to that job, and they answer in their own words — sometimes bluntly.

Put it to the bench

CONTRACT & HOSPITALITY

Thirty covers, one timber, no two tables the same.

Restaurants, hotel bars and members’ clubs. We batch the frames and vary the tops, so a room reads as one commission without looking machine-made.

Tender enquiry

MERIDIAN

Start with a drawing.

Leave an address and we will send the measured-survey guide — the one that stops most kitchens going wrong before anyone cuts anything.

No newsletter unless you ask. One PDF, 14 pages, no email course.

FAQ
Frequently asked

Form Builder

Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

Still stuck?

Read the documentation for this one, or write to us — a human answers inside a business day.

What field types can the Sky Addons form builder create?

Eight: text, number, email, textarea, hidden, disabled, select and radio. Sky Addons’ Form Builder widget for Elementor builds each one as a repeater row carrying its own label, field name, placeholder, default value, required switch and column width — and a textarea sets its own row count.

Where do Form Builder submissions get stored?

They are not stored. Sky Addons for Elementor emails each submission and can post it to a webhook, but the Form Builder widget writes no entries table, so there is nothing to browse or export inside WordPress. Send anything you need to keep to a CRM or spreadsheet through the webhook.

Can I choose who receives the form notification email?

Yes — each Form Builder widget has its own Email Receiver field. Sky Addons for Elementor falls back to the address saved in its API Settings, then to the WordPress admin email. When the form contains an email field, the visitor’s address is added as the Reply-To header so you answer straight from your inbox.

How do I stop spam on an Elementor form without Pro?

Turn on reCAPTCHA. Sky Addons’ Form Builder verifies Google reCAPTCHA on the server using keys you save once under Sky Addons API Settings, and the badge can be hidden. Every submission is nonce-checked as well, and any form wired to a webhook is rate limited to 10 submissions per IP address per minute.

Can the form send submissions to Zapier, Make or n8n?

Yes. Sky Addons for Elementor posts the submission as JSON to a webhook endpoint the site admin defines in API Settings — the page stores only that endpoint’s name, never its URL. Pick a nested or flat payload, rename the wrapper key to match the receiving API, and optionally stop the email once the webhook is live.

Do I need Elementor Pro or a separate form plugin?

Neither. The Form Builder widget in Sky Addons for Elementor runs on free Elementor and builds the whole form — fields, validation, reCAPTCHA, email and webhook — inside the page you are already designing, with no shortcode to style around. Sky Addons also ships separate styling widgets for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms and Fluent Forms if you already use one.

Can the form redirect to a thank-you page after submit?

No — there is no redirect control. Sky Addons’ Form Builder widget stays on the page and prints your Success Message into a result area you can style, then clears the fields unless Reset After Submit is switched off. Plan for an on-page confirmation rather than a thank-you URL.

How does it handle required fields and bad email addresses?

Twice over. Required fields carry the browser’s own required attribute and a red asterisk beside the label, and Sky Addons for Elementor re-checks every required value on the server before anything is sent. An email field is validated server side too, so a malformed address is refused rather than mailed.

Can I pause a form without removing it from the page?

Yes. Temporarily Stop Submissions leaves the Form Builder widget in place but refuses every submission with a message you write — useful when a campaign closes or an inbox is unattended. Sky Addons for Elementor enforces it on the server, before reCAPTCHA runs, so it cannot be lifted from the browser.

Can I put two form fields side by side on desktop?

Yes. Every field in Sky Addons’ Form Builder widget has its own Column Width, from 100% down to 20%, and the control is responsive — so a name and an email can sit at 50% each on desktop and stack to full width on a phone. Hidden fields skip the setting entirely.

Will the form still work on a cached WordPress page?

Yes. A cached page can serve a security token that has already expired, so Sky Addons’ Form Builder widget recognises that exact failure, fetches a fresh token and resubmits once by itself while the loading state stays up. Only if that retry also fails does the visitor see a reload-and-try-again message.

How much of the form appearance is styleable in Elementor?

All of it. Sky Addons for Elementor gives the Form Builder separate style sections for the form wrapper, labels, fields, radio options, the submit button, its submitting state and the result message — so focus states, the loading button text and the success or error notice are panel controls rather than custom CSS.
