Bespoke Timber Windows, Doors & Joinery in Truro
From our workshop in Perranporth, we manufacture bespoke timber windows, doors, staircases and specialist joinery for homeowners, architects, builders and commercial clients throughout Truro and the surrounding area.
Every project is made to measure. Whether we are matching existing joinery in a period property or producing something completely new, we consider the proportions, timber, glazing, ironmongery, finish and practical requirements of the building before manufacture begins.
Bespoke Timber Joinery for Homes and Businesses in Truro
Truro has a varied mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings, later residential development, commercial premises and individual contemporary homes. We produce made-to-measure timber windows, doors, staircases and specialist joinery to suit the proportions, character and practical requirements of each property. Where existing joinery has features worth retaining, we can work from original mouldings, profiles and details rather than relying on standard sections.
Every project is manufactured to order in our workshop in Perranporth, Cornwall. We combine traditional joinery skills with modern manufacturing techniques, carefully selected timber and accurate machining to produce joinery specifically for the property rather than adapting standard-sized products.
​
Where appropriate, we can work from existing joinery, architectural drawings, site measurements or CAD information. This allows details such as mouldings, glazing bars, frame sections and opening arrangements to be established before manufacturing begins.
Heritage Properties in Truro
Older properties in and around Truro often depend on the proportions of their windows, doors, glazing bars and mouldings for much of their character. Replacement joinery therefore needs more than a broadly traditional appearance. We can reproduce existing timber profiles and manufacture new joinery to suit the opening while incorporating appropriate glazing, draught sealing, ironmongery and finishes.
When existing windows or doors contribute to the character of a property, we can use them as a reference for the new joinery. Existing mouldings and timber profiles can be measured and reproduced where required, helping new work remain sympathetic to the building.
Traditional appearance does not necessarily mean using outdated performance. Depending on the requirements of the project, modern glazing, discreet draught sealing, durable paint systems and appropriate ironmongery can be incorporated while retaining traditional proportions and detailing.
Contemporary Homes in Truro
For contemporary homes and extensions, timber offers considerable flexibility in size, proportion and finish. We can manufacture clean-lined windows, entrance doors, glazed screens and other bespoke elements to suit architectural drawings or an agreed design, while considering glazing performance, weather protection and long-term maintenance.
Bespoke manufacture is equally useful for contemporary architecture. Rather than working around predetermined window and door sizes, the joinery can be manufactured to suit the dimensions and proportions of the building.
​
Timber species, glazing, opening arrangements, ironmongery and finishes can be discussed as part of the overall design, allowing the finished joinery to work with the architecture rather than appearing as a separate standard product.
Barn Conversions and Rural Properties Near Truro
The countryside surrounding Truro includes converted agricultural buildings, cottages and individual rural homes where standard joinery can be difficult to use successfully. Bespoke manufacture allows openings, reveals, existing stonework and unusual dimensions to be considered individually, helping new joinery sit naturally within the building.
Older and converted buildings rarely have perfectly standard openings. Stonework, existing reveals, wall thicknesses and previous alterations can all affect the dimensions required.
Manufacturing each item individually allows us to respond to these variations while maintaining consistent proportions and detailing throughout the property.
Commercial Joinery in Truro
We can manufacture bespoke timber joinery for shops, offices, hospitality premises and other commercial properties in and around Truro. This can include shopfront elements, entrance doors, windows, internal joinery and one-off items where dimensions, appearance or existing architectural details require a made-to-measure solution.
Commercial joinery often has different requirements from residential work. Durability, regular use, access, glazing, appearance and existing architectural details may all need to be considered.
We can work with business owners, builders, architects and other professionals to manufacture individual items or packages of bespoke timber joinery to agreed dimensions and specifications.
Bespoke Timber Windows in Truro
We manufacture made-to-measure timber windows for period, heritage and contemporary properties throughout Truro and the surrounding area.
Our window work includes traditional sliding sash and box sash windows, timber casement windows and other bespoke window designs.
​
Where replacement windows need to match existing joinery, we can reproduce mouldings, glazing bars and timber profiles. This can be particularly important on older properties where seemingly small changes to frame sections or glazing proportions can noticeably alter the appearance of the building.
​
Depending on the project, windows can incorporate energy-efficient glazing, discreet draught seals, appropriate ironmongery and modern finishing systems while retaining the appearance expected of traditional timber joinery.
​
​
Sliding Sash and Box Sash Windows
​
Traditional sash windows can be manufactured using cord-and-weight box-frame construction where appropriate. This uses pulleys, sash cords and correctly calculated counterweights to balance the moving sashes.
​
Spring-balanced sash windows can also be produced where the design or available frame depth makes them more suitable.
​
The choice between the two systems depends on the property, existing construction, available space and environmental conditions rather than simply appearance.
Timber Casement Windows
​
We manufacture traditional and contemporary timber casement windows to individual dimensions.
​
Depending on the property, these can include flush casement arrangements, traditional profiles or other made-to-measure designs. Opening configurations, glazing, mouldings and ironmongery can all be adapted to suit the project.
Bespoke Timber Doors in Truro
We manufacture bespoke timber doors for traditional and contemporary properties throughout Truro and the surrounding area.
This includes entrance doors, glazed doors, French doors and individual designs manufactured around a particular opening or architectural style.
​
Doors can be designed to complement existing joinery, including matching mouldings, panel arrangements and other architectural details where appropriate.
​
Timber selection, glazing, weather seals, thresholds, ironmongery and finishing systems are considered together so that the door is designed as a complete unit rather than simply as a timber leaf.
Bespoke Timber Stairscases in Truro
We manufacture made-to-measure timber staircases for renovation, replacement and new-build projects.
​
This can include straight flights, dog-leg arrangements, kite winders and individually designed staircases for more unusual spaces.
​
A staircase has to work within the available opening while satisfying a number of dimensional requirements. Accurate measuring and planning are therefore particularly important.
​
Depending on the project, we can work from site measurements, architectural drawings or CAD information to establish the staircase geometry before manufacture.
Specialist Bespoke Joinery
Our work is not limited to windows, doors and staircases.
​
We also manufacture other bespoke timber joinery including gates, shopfronts, conservatories, fitted furniture and individual architectural components.
Where a project involves unusual dimensions or a timber component that is no longer readily available, bespoke manufacture often provides a practical way of reproducing or replacing it.
Listed Buildings and Conservation Work in Truro
Work to listed buildings and properties within sensitive historic settings may require careful replication of existing joinery and approval before alterations are made. We can manufacture windows and doors to match existing proportions, mouldings and glazing patterns where required. Owners should establish any necessary listed building or planning consent before work proceeds.
Listed and historically important properties require particularly careful consideration.
Where existing windows, doors or other joinery are significant to the character of the building, replacement work may need to closely follow the original design. We can work from existing examples or approved drawings to reproduce relevant profiles, mouldings, glazing arrangements and proportions.
​
The exact requirements vary between buildings. Where listed building consent, planning permission or conservation approval is required, this should be established before manufacturing begins.
Matching Existing Timber Mouldings and Profiles
One of the advantages of bespoke manufacturing is the ability to reproduce existing timber details.
​
Where suitable original joinery remains, we can take dimensions from mouldings, glazing bars, frame sections and other profiles and reproduce them for the new work.
This can be particularly valuable when only part of a property's joinery is being replaced. Matching the existing details helps the new work sit naturally alongside windows and doors that are being retained.
Timber Joinery for Truro and the Cornwall Climate
Although Truro is more sheltered than many exposed coastal locations, timber joinery in Cornwall still has to cope with persistent rain, wind, moisture and strong summer UV. Timber selection, drainage details, glazing systems, paint specification and ongoing maintenance all contribute to long-term performance.
The environment is an important part of the joinery specification.
​
Timber species, construction details, glazing systems, drainage, weather seals, ironmongery and paint finishes all contribute to how well a window or door performs over time.
Properties in exposed locations may require particular attention to weather protection and hardware specification. No external timber finish is maintenance-free, so regular inspection and maintenance remain important to long-term performance.
How We Manufacture Your Bespoke Joinery
​Every project follows a considered process from the initial enquiry through to manufacturing and, where required, installation.
​
1. Initial Enquiry
The process normally begins with photographs, approximate dimensions, architectural drawings or a conversation about what is required.
At this stage we can establish the type of joinery, general design, approximate quantities and whether there are existing architectural details that need to be reproduced.
​
2. Site Survey and Measuring
Where a site survey forms part of the project, the openings and relevant existing joinery can be measured in more detail.
For replacement work, we may also record mouldings, frame sections, glazing bars and other features that need to be incorporated into the new joinery.
​
3. Drawings and CAD
Depending on the complexity of the project, drawings or CAD can be used to establish dimensions, proportions and construction details before manufacturing begins.
This is particularly useful for more complicated windows, doors, staircases and projects involving several related items.
​
4. Timber Selection
The timber is selected according to the design, intended use, required finish and environmental conditions.
Both hardwood and softwood options can be considered depending on the project. Timber selection should form part of the overall specification rather than being considered independently from construction and finishing.
​
5. Manufacturing in Perranporth
All of our bespoke joinery is manufactured at our workshop in Perranporth, Cornwall.
We combine traditional woodworking and joinery skills with modern machinery and manufacturing techniques where they improve accuracy, consistency and efficiency.
Each item is produced to the agreed dimensions and specification rather than being taken from a range of standard sizes.
​
6. Glazing, Ironmongery and Finishing
Glazing, seals, ironmongery and finishing systems are selected according to the individual project.
For external joinery, particular attention is given to weather protection and long-term durability. Coastal and highly exposed properties may require different specifications from more sheltered locations.
​
7. Delivery and Installation
Depending on the project and location, we can discuss supply-only work as well as delivery and installation.
Installation requirements should be considered early because existing openings, access and surrounding construction can affect how the finished joinery needs to be designed and fitted.

Recent Projects Near Truro
Our work in the Truro area can range from replacement timber windows and doors for traditional properties to bespoke joinery for renovations, extensions and commercial projects. Each project is measured and specified individually, allowing details such as glazing bars, mouldings, opening arrangements, ironmongery and finishes to be adapted to the building.
Every property presents slightly different challenges. Existing openings may be out of square, original mouldings may need to be copied, access may be restricted or a new design may need to work alongside joinery that is being retained.
​
These details are why we prefer to consider each project individually rather than treating bespoke joinery as a standard product with a choice of sizes.
