Bespoke Joinery, Timber Windows & Doors in Truro
We design and manufacture bespoke timber windows, doors and bespoke joinery for homeowners, architects and commercial clients throughout Truro. Every project is manufactured to order in our Perranporth workshop, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create joinery built to perform for decades.
Bespoke Joinery for Homes and Businesses in Truro
As Cornwall's only city, Truro has an architectural mix that ranges from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern developments, barn conversions on the outskirts and busy commercial premises in the city centre. This variety means every bespoke joinery project has its own requirements, whether you're restoring original timber features or introducing contemporary designs into a new property. Truro's historic streets are particularly noted for their Georgian architecture, while landmarks such as Truro Cathedral contribute to the city's rich architectural heritage.
​
At Wood.ED Joinery, we manufacture bespoke timber windows, doors and specialist joinery from our workshop in Perranporth, supplying homeowners, businesses and property professionals throughout Truro. Every product is made to order, allowing us to match the character of the building while delivering the performance expected from modern timber joinery.
​
Heritage Properties
Many of Truro's older homes still retain original timber sash windows, entrance doors and decorative mouldings. When these features reach the end of their service life, replacing them with carefully crafted timber joinery helps preserve the character of the property while improving insulation, security and day-to-day performance. We can replicate existing mouldings, glazing bars and profiles to maintain the appearance that makes these buildings unique.
​
Contemporary Homes
Modern homes often benefit from clean lines, larger glazed areas and minimalist detailing. Bespoke joinery offers flexibility that standard factory-produced products cannot, allowing windows and doors to be manufactured to the exact dimensions, proportions and finish required. Timber also provides excellent thermal performance and can be finished in virtually any colour to complement contemporary architecture.
​
Barn Conversions
Across the rural areas surrounding Truro, many former agricultural buildings have been transformed into unique homes. Barn conversions frequently require non-standard window and door sizes, feature entrance doors, exposed oak details and bespoke staircases. Because every opening is different, made-to-measure timber joinery provides a precise fit while respecting the character of the original building.
​
Commercial Premises
Truro's city centre is home to independent retailers, restaurants, professional offices and historic commercial buildings. Timber shopfronts, entrance doors and internal joinery can help businesses create an attractive, welcoming appearance while complementing neighbouring historic buildings. Bespoke joinery also allows businesses to achieve a consistent finish across reception areas, offices and customer-facing spaces.
​
Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas
Truro contains numerous listed buildings and areas of significant architectural interest. Listed buildings are legally protected because of their historic or architectural importance, and alterations that affect their character often require Listed Building Consent. Bespoke joinery is frequently the preferred solution because it can be manufactured to replicate original details while respecting the building's historic appearance. We regularly manufacture bespoke joinery that matches existing mouldings and traditional profiles, helping property owners preserve the character of their buildings while meeting modern expectations where appropriate.
​
Whether you're renovating a period townhouse near the city centre, upgrading a modern family home, converting a traditional barn or improving commercial premises, bespoke joinery offers the flexibility to create products that are built specifically for your property rather than adapted from standard sizes. The result is joinery that fits correctly, performs reliably and complements the architecture of the building for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
....

Every window is made to order in our workshop in Perranporth, allowing us to tailor each design to the exact dimensions and character of your property. Whether you're replacing traditional sliding sash windows in a period home, installing casement windows in a contemporary property or requiring bespoke windows for a barn conversion, we manufacture each product to suit your individual project rather than relying on standard sizes.
We offer a range of bespoke timber window styles, including:
-

Tilt and turn windows

Heritage timber windows
-
Contemporary timber windows
Where required, we can also match existing timber mouldings and architectural profiles, making our windows suitable for many period and heritage properties. Our windows can be specified with energy-efficient double glazing, durable paint finishes and high-quality ironmongery to provide long-lasting performance while complementing the style of your home.
Can you replace windows in listed buildings in Truro?
Yes. We regularly manufacture bespoke timber windows for listed buildings and period properties in Truro and across Cornwall.
​
Listed buildings are protected because of their historic and architectural significance, so replacing windows often requires careful consideration. In many cases, the preferred approach is to repair original windows wherever possible. Where existing windows are beyond repair, replacement timber windows are typically expected to match the original design, materials and architectural details as closely as possible. Whether Listed Building Consent is required depends on the specific building and the proposed works, so it's important to seek advice before work begins.
​
We can manufacture bespoke timber windows to replicate existing mouldings, glazing bars, profiles and traditional detailing, helping to preserve the character of your property while providing the quality and performance expected from expertly crafted timber joinery. Every window is made to order in our Perranporth workshop and tailored to the individual requirements of your building.
​
If you're planning to replace windows in a listed building in Truro, we're happy to discuss your project, explain the available options and work with you and your design team to manufacture timber windows that respect the character of the property and meet the approved specification.
​
How long does it take?
Every project is different, so the time required depends on the type of bespoke joinery, the size of the order and our current manufacturing schedule.
​
Smaller projects, such as a single bespoke timber door or replacement window, are generally completed more quickly than larger commissions involving multiple windows, staircases or complete joinery packages. We will always provide an estimated lead time with your quotation and keep you informed throughout the manufacturing process.
​
Our process begins with an initial discussion about your project, followed by a site visit and accurate measurements where required. Once the design and specification have been agreed, your joinery is manufactured to order in our Perranporth workshop before being carefully finished, inspected and prepared for delivery or installation.
​
Because every product is made to measure rather than taken from stock, manufacturing takes longer than buying standard off-the-shelf joinery. The benefit is a product designed specifically for your property, with the craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail expected from bespoke timber joinery.
Can you match existing mouldings?
Yes. We regularly replicate existing timber mouldings, glazing bars and architectural profiles for both period and contemporary properties throughout Truro and Cornwall.
​
Many older homes feature distinctive details that contribute to their character. When original windows, doors or other joinery need replacing, we carefully assess the existing mouldings and profiles so new joinery blends seamlessly with the rest of the property. This is particularly important for heritage buildings, listed properties and homes within conservation areas, where preserving the original appearance is often a key consideration.
​
Using detailed measurements and traditional joinery techniques, we manufacture bespoke timber windows, doors and other bespoke joinery that closely match the original design while incorporating modern materials and manufacturing methods where appropriate. The result is new joinery that respects the character of the building while providing the durability, performance and finish expected from a high-quality bespoke product.
​
If you're unsure whether your existing mouldings can be replicated, we're happy to assess your project and advise on the most suitable approach.
​
Do you install throughout Cornwall?
Yes. We install bespoke timber windows, doors and specialist joinery throughout Cornwall, including Truro and the surrounding towns and villages.
​
From our workshop in Perranporth, we work with homeowners, architects, builders and commercial clients across the county, manufacturing and installing made-to-measure bespoke joinery for period properties, contemporary homes, barn conversions and commercial buildings.
​
Our installation service covers a wide range of bespoke joinery, including timber windows, entrance doors, sliding sash windows, staircases, gates, conservatories, shopfronts and other custom-made timber products. Every installation is completed with the same attention to detail that goes into manufacturing, ensuring each product fits correctly, operates smoothly and complements the character of your property.
We also undertake projects throughout Devon and are happy to discuss larger commissions elsewhere in the UK. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, simply get in touch and we'll be pleased to advise.
Can you supply only?
Yes. We can manufacture bespoke timber joinery on a supply-only basis or provide a complete supply and installation service, depending on the requirements of your project.
​
Many of our customers choose supply only because they already have a trusted builder, carpenter or contractor carrying out the installation. We manufacture each product to the agreed specification and dimensions, ensuring it is ready for professional installation on site.
Our supply-only service is available for a wide range of bespoke joinery, including timber windows, entrance doors, sliding sash windows, casement windows, staircases, gates, shopfronts, conservatories and other made-to-measure joinery.
​
If you're considering a supply-only service, we're happy to discuss your project, confirm the specification and provide guidance to help ensure the joinery is manufactured to suit your installation requirements.
Do you offer hardwood and softwood?
Yes. We manufacture bespoke joinery using both hardwood and softwood, allowing us to recommend the most suitable material for your project, budget and the environment in which it will be installed.
​
Hardwoods are often chosen for their natural durability, strength and distinctive appearance, making them a popular option for entrance doors, feature joinery and projects where a natural timber finish is preferred. Softwoods are widely used for painted timber windows, doors and other external joinery, offering excellent performance, stability and value when properly manufactured and finished.
​
We also offer a range of timber species to suit different applications and can advise on the best choice for heritage properties, contemporary homes, barn conversions and commercial buildings. Factors such as the location of the property, exposure to the elements, maintenance requirements and the desired finish all influence the most appropriate timber selection.
​
Every piece of timber is carefully selected before manufacture, and our joinery is produced using responsibly sourced materials, modern finishing systems and traditional craftsmanship to provide long-lasting performance for homes and businesses throughout Truro, Cornwall and beyond.
If you're unsure whether hardwood or softwood is the right choice for your project, we're happy to explain the advantages of each option and recommend the most suitable solution based on your individual requirements.
